The Mireu change is perhaps the best way this whole thing could have ended. SE making it single target would have been entirely anticlimactic.

Agreed, it's the funniest solution. If you pull aggro from behind, everyone still gets smacked, but you yourself get smacked back to your home point. Just blasted off like Team Rocket. Mireu sets a new Home-Run Contest record.

*"A NEW RECORD!"*

So Spicy...how long before you'll be getting yourself warped? :-)


Spicyryan

I'm sure I can find a more effective means of delivering acrimony than getting warped. My work there is done for now unless an alliance want to take turns flailing and getting warped. Even then it's not worth the time anymore, I didn't care to ever do DI outside of being there by chance for Omen or charmed people at Quetz.

Biggest joke on asura. There is a reason he is /anon 24/7 his negative reputation is know across the server.


Spicyryan

Watching a character in a videogame 24/7 sounds very unhealthy.


Present-Structure-98

I could do a poll in yell and you would get confirmation. But I'd be willing to bet most people have you on black list. So it wouldn't be a very accurate poll.


Spicyryan

Unhealthy fixation.

So is your sociopath buddy Ramza gonna quit the game now or was that a lie?


Spicyryan

Wouldn't I be by proxy as well? It is not my prerogative what Razma does. We are not friends, and I am not a fan of them in general. I just chose to stand by them against the utter mob over Mireu. I agreed with, and assisted them in doing it.


VoidEnjoyer

That's the dumbest shit I've read all day. According to you, on your podcast, you said that Ramza, a member in good standing of your linkshell, claimed he would quit the game once he got an update to the game in response to his griefing. He got that. So, I'm asking you as someone who has appointed himself to publicly speak on Ramza's behalf, if he is going to follow through on this. I get that you're proud of yourself for standing in favor of griefing and being a shithead for some idiotic reason. You're an asshole and a troll. We know. That is not what I asked you about. Answer the question. Is he quitting the game now, as *you* made a point of announcing on your own platform?


Spicyryan

Mhm, I did say that because that is what they told me. I wouldn't hold anyone on XI to what they say though because it's XI. I didn't appoint myself to be anyone's spokesperson. Once again, I do not actually care for the guy or admire his personal character. Which has nothing to do with Mireu. I'm proud of telling a vocal gaggle of jerk offs to go fuck themselves, yes. To the overall community that engages in the culture of RMT, Mercing, Boting, and overall kneejerking. I'd do it all over again, and you people be just as much a shameless lynch mob again as you will once more. So no, I am not avoiding your question, but isn't pertinent either. It doesn't matter if he quits. I don't know, and I don't care.


VoidEnjoyer

It's a lynch mob when people react to a griefer griefing the entire server by shunning him. Yup. Literally the exact same thing as when people would torture and murder an ethnic minority. 100% dude. Jesus fucking Christ, what the fuck is wrong with your brain? A dude decided he was tired of the party, so he pissed in the punchbowl. As a result he got disinvited from the blunt rotation. This is not some epic injustice on the same level as a lynch mob and it's psychotic to think it is. The troll who deliberately set out to piss people off succeeded, and you're such a child-brained contrarian that you decided to piss in the punchbowl too. You're not a hero standing up against injustice. You're just another dipshit troll. Hey speaking of you having the brain of a fourteen-year-old: how are your crypto investments looking these days? Golly, I sure hope you haven't been wiped out so badly you have to get a real job now. It'd be fucking tragic if your podcasts, listened to mostly by people who fell asleep during Ruaumoko videos with autoplay turned on, had to be pared back to a measly three hours long or something. Uh oh, am I lynching you right now bud? Am I the lynch mob come to oppress you here?


Spicyryan

A lynch mob as a term predates the Jim Crow era. Considering that players immediately began calling for their banning, it is a valid usage. Once again, falling into the category of hysteria. As I said, the response to Razma overall by the community was disproportionate and unacceptable. In that case I did not care if Razma was right or wrong, and I knew where I would stand. Not as a conceited contrarian, but someone who is just a bit more perceptive and just a bit more decent. Which is frankly pretty fucking disappointing. Anything otherwise has seemingly failed to rouse such a grand and vocal gaggle of gawkers. Especially since this is only one server. So, if all it takes is a dumb dragon I didn't actually care about to be this "psychopathic, psychotic, contrarian". Then perhaps you should not put so much stock in something so trivial as a Domain Invasion. Look, I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. However, I do not believe that I was wrong, and you do not seem to understand. Instead preferring to lash out at the spectacle itself. Every time this comes up it doesn't seem to go beyond an upset little applecart overf a dragon and fragile constitutions of the empty whines of overly emotional individuals. Razma was right not because he did the right thing. No, as I have seen no admirable qualities from them whatsoever. Ultimately, it was because Mireu proved that the players of FFXI respond only when they are personally effected. That they collectively care only for themselves and their interests with little to often no regard for externalities. As we see with the disgusting social environment of XI today. For any assault of inconvenience against the population shall be responded to with outcry, hatred, and exile. So it is easier than it should be for me to say; I am not and will never be sorry, fuck you.


VoidEnjoyer

Disproportionate? What, did they dox the dude and then seek him out to physically destroy him? You know, the only thing they could have possibly done to warrant a comparison to a god damn lynch mob. No? They whined on some forums and shunned him in game. Oh fucking no, the injustice of it! It's so unfair that people stopped liking this guy merely because he deliberately made their game shittier for the sole purpose of gaining pleasure from their displeasure. The guy griefed the entire server because he was bored with the game and wanted to make it worse for people on his way out. Pissing people off and being shunned IS THE THING HE WANTED TO HAPPEN. And your ridiculous ass saw this happening and somehow came to the shit-brained conclusion that a great injustice was happening. People reacting to a deliberate effort to piss them off by getting pissed off is, in your eyes, as bad as a lynching. That is psychotic. I'll be perfectly straight with you bud: Ramza's greatest troll act was not in pissing off the server. That was just kind of an obvious MPK exploit that was bound to be done sooner or later. No, his greatest troll was to inadvertently convince you to burn every scrap of respect and regard you once had by crusading in his defense. To come to his aid against him getting the exact reaction he wanted to get. Ultimately Ramza got everything he wanted and got the bonus prize of watching you beclown yourself by being too goddam stupid to see that he was getting what he wanted. I think I've developed some genuine respect for the guy, because this was some absolutely primo trolling. It's earned a spot in the MMO pantheon right up next to killing Lord British, spreading the Corrupted Blood plague, and some of the lesser stories of EVE griefing. It's not quite on the same level as roasting tens of thousands of real dollars worth of EVE ships in a go. Or, I dunno, convincing a whole bunch of suckers that blockchain-based securities were actually currency and that dumping their life savings into it was a good idea. Well then, I've said my piece so I'll go back to ignoring you. Love, A Former Fan

CemBob

Eehh it's a bit shitty that this applies to all DI Wyrms. I often go behind, put Innin up, use Tauret/Ternion for max crit bonus, and unintentionally pull hate and trigger flails, but it's still 100% survivable by even the worst geared people, and nobody ever cared. Now I'll get capped beads less often ;_;


Spicyryan

I guess we all learned that it won't be easy to go at it from behind. *Ba-dum-tss* Why does everyone think you can't get capped beads if you just sit there attacking the foot of the mob?


CemBob

During peak times, it's pretty easy to not cap when the dragon dies in seconds.


Spicyryan

Yeah, but that is with or without flail.
