That would be the question of the hour, which shark so nicely lays down.

I for one, and glad that SE manages a video game rather then a small country.

Please dont take my words to shoot it in your own foot, anyone.

Ive been playing since the japanese release and seen a tonn of changes many for the better alot at first for the worst. Everytime one of these changes rolled around I had to basically shrugged it off and continued on.

Did you know I still find it unfair that there are many japanese players with multiple 100 crafts and here we are assed out at 40 points beyond 60, yet it seems that no matter how many of us complain that cannot be changed.

There are many so called nerfs to jobs, some intentional, meant to flush out many players out of an overpopulated job and only allowing the truely interested to go at it and perform at or better stances than before, had they only know the things they where capable of before then, and also in hopes to repopulate many of the lesser popular jobs.

SE is trying to shot for the working together experience, but people at brandy games those that followed and those that began to teach others ruined that experince for bst forever and created the new social behavior of playing alone, which is why I started to enjoy other jobs to fill that lack of interaction of either being wanted or being useful and have others capable of seeing the accoplisments that our characters make, I dont play vanadeil to level though, I'm sorry if that seems either alien or insulting to you i simply dont, which is why I still to this day I dont have a lvl 75 job, Ive seen many places, done many things, have some accomplisments my peers look up to of achieving.

I've played bst to 35 on my old character on Alexander, and from recent reading up on how the job is supposed to be played according to those that dwell on the boards I would probably suck and wont hold a candle to the lot of you. But the entire time I felt detached from the socialization the other jobs oftenly because of the recent US release and the label of solo play onry upsetted me beyond anything. I was happy dding with jpn before that fateful day and the lack of interaction made me quit that job back then. But back then there wasn't skill chains, and it wasn't really nessecary to solo either. I can probably play beast in parties again if I had it level and do a good job of it and wouldnt need a jug pet either using leave as a sure fire means of being able to pet agressive monsters and being able to release it without it killing the party anymore and just go out with the puller everytime to reclaim that pet.

But the thing is apperantly MPKing issues where very apperant, people have quit before because they got killed by another bored Lineage or other pvpmmorg player and RMTers. Its very awful in this game because any death is a major step back for the lot of us, loss of time, loss of experince, and loss of patience and respect for fellow adventurers. Dealing with RMTers is near impossible. Multiple Companies have tried wasted god knows how much resources (i assure you its alot more than everyone on this thread can afford), even competed against them to no avail, no matter how much ban hammering, gimping, reporting, and observation that anomoly cannot be rectified. And with the ability of MPKing they caused sever discrouagement and monopolized certain items because simply trying to get those items would warrent death. This was harrassment none the less. There also massive complains of people zoning a large number of monsters some even very high leveled into a camping site cutting thier only exits off and warrenting those parties deaths undoing potentially hours of work and ruining thier days. This would be the end of those issues. RMTers would probably have a far more difficult time monopolizing the monsters now and peoples horrid days in crawlers nest are a thing of the past and spin still hasnt shared how he is still mpking either so it yet to be determined if the RMTers can pull it off easy. But one thing is for certain, there will be furture beast masters there will be future adventurers that join the online community and will chose that path of taming beasts and they will never notice this change ever they will continue to press on and continue to play without complaint.
While you old timers either will continue to complain about the changes made or laugh at them when fully embraced. Yes, I know this is a kidney punch to the lot of you in your guts, your soloing ability for sole purpose of exp has been destroyed but I've known bsts that partied to lvl 75 and really see the new system has a vaiable tool for survival, not benifit for furthing oneself. Then again I've known dragoons that soloed to level 75 as well.

Its bitter medicine, and from the amendment to the update as expected it seem this system change isnt going back, isnt getting fixed. I dont care what SpinShark says about such comment, hes just a insulting parrot repeating what you all want to hear and most of the stuff he has repeated has been your very own opinion. If your seriously dont want to play an online game requiring the higher level of interaction ffxi wants to promote then its up to you to decide to leave for a simpler socially structured game or accept the new fate of beastmasters in the parties and adapting to the new socitey.

But I'll leave you with this, how many future players are going to laugh at us, compare this gimping to be comparable to what other jobs been dealt in the past, the future players who consider themselves suprior to those complainers because they've adapted and evolved beyond your in ability to continue playing? Todays Dragoons have done it, Todays Rangers have done it, and theres nothing stopping tommarow's Beastmaster will have done it too.

Spin you should add "Just adapt or do you suck?" to the list of dumbass arguements you address in the OP so that THESE FUCCKING MORONS QUIT POSTING THE SAME IGNORANT RESPONSE.

Alaaba I really hope you trip and fall on an AIDS infested *****.

Sioux/Kubla is not a guy, and has since tried soloing and realized the folly of that post. The mobs don't respawn fast enough (at least 1 minute, bye bye chains) to use the strategy she mentions in 99% of lvling spots.

The entire BST community is not totally retarded. We aren't lying, or being stupid or lazy. At least not all of us. I still don't understand why this is so hard for people to accept (btw look at the posts Sioux has made since that one.. she sounds like me). BST soloing is destroyed as a reasonable xp gain method, especially at higher lvls, and thus the game is ruined for many people. Please stop telling us it's not, because you're essentially calling us all stupid.

Sorry the 2nd paragraph was not meant to be directed at you specifically. Just giving you a hard time about the name ^^ How would you know (I guess if you are weird and look at blogs linked in alla sigs...) LOL

I am glad she posted that idea also, unfortunately it doesn't really work.

No they wont. No one will invite a weak DD that can cast like 3 enfeebles.

Since I logged on at 6:00 pm estern time Monday night, I have had seek up as a 69 Beastmaster/Warrior with a search comment describing my tnl, my gear (Hauberk +1, P. Charm, Sushi), and the fact that I had lots of jub pets and pet food ready to go.

I would say 4.5 hrs monday night and 3.5 hours tuesday night, not a single /tell or invite.

In that same time soloing I could have had at least 10k-15k exp... in a Boyhada Tree BST party, well over 20k.

BST will not be invited into parties. Non-tank ninjas will not be invited into exp parties.

If SE intended BST to get exp in parties then why to the have such fusked up JSE gear with things like -Emnity (bst will NOT pull hate off a tank, lol) and Enhancing Killer Effects? and MND and MP lol... the JSE is all specifically created for soloing...

Wow can it be? Spinshark Karma whoreing?

I daresay he went and joined the flock for some rate ups. Sad really, since he specifically made a thread about people who do that and then criticized them.

Once again he points out that the sky is blue, and hes obviously on a whole different level then anyone else could ever imagine to be on. Way to stroke your own ego a bit.

Shopee, regardless of anything good you might have to say, you're still come off as an arrogant little prick. If anything, you deserve to have your teeth kicked in.
