Level 30 BLU...finally

As some of you know, I have very little patence for stupid. It's not the fact that ppl ARE stupid, it's what they DO WHEN their stupid. Take, for example, my leveling BLU last night. In most cases, I don't put up with much stupid. After playing for 2 years, my immunity to stupid hasn't gone up at all...must be a glitch...

Last night was an exception. I was leveling BLU, which I rarely have time to do lately, and was in a party with almost all noobs. The tank: WAR/MNK using a Scythe...think about that. Scythe...for tanking...he had a sword and shield. He equipped it for a whole 30 seconds.

Now, ok, I'm a nice...ish guy. I'll give him a break, I want my level. If that was the only problem, I'da let it slide easily. Being lvl 29 WAR/MNK and using a Scythe AND wearing Chainmail Set... furry is rising. Ok, let's just ignore the little fact that he could be wearing MUCH better gear. The ringer was that he used Provoke about once ever 5 mins. 5 mins.....5 MINS!? The timer on that is 30 seconds! That means it took him 10 times as long to use his macro. If that doesn't scream stupid then I'm not a Manthra.

Destroying Fate

How I've longed for this day....spending months trying to get to this mission....did I mention I play FFXI? I've been playing for 2 years and have gotten to Rank 6 in Bastok then was stupid enough to change to Windurst. Windurst....*shudders* that's a place that should be taken over by beastmen. It's just asking to be invaded. Anyway, I got all the way to Rank 5 then realized why I hated 5-1.....Capped Undead Fight. God I hate Capped fights. We finally beat it and started 5-2.
Got to Castle Zvahl Keep and our WAR/NIN had to leave. *feels blood rushing to head* Ok, he's gotta go to work. That's understandable...I will not let the chance pass me by! I convinced the party to continue towards the Shadowlord. It's really kinda funny....the mobs getting to the Shadowlord posed a bigger threat than the Shadowlord himself. We beat Shadowlord and watched the CS (for the second time for me).
The reason I wanted this idiotic mission finished is so people would stop asking how I'm on Zilart Mission 14 with a Nation Rank of 5. Why is the idea of a person having beated Rank 6 or higher in another nation a foreign concept to everyone? Either way, we beat that pushover and got on with it.
I was reading [GM]Dave's Blog and decided to create one myself. Guess you could say I "converted to Davism".
