i don't know how to quote, so i wont try and end up making myself look dumb.

But GDS, in ANY mmo level is a function of time not skill.

and yes, ive played ffxi i have/had a lvl 75 white mage.

I'll say this then, How about you play FFXI with a party of entire noobs from your tank to your healer and then play with a party of pro's and see exactly how much time it'll take you to reach lv 75.

It does take skill not just time and i feel like anyone can make it to lv 75 with a whm, hell everyone needs them in a party but if you can make it to Lv 75 with a mnk or rng or any of the DD's then i'll give you props although credits needs to be given to anyone that makes it to Lv 75 in FFXI.

Anyway though with that being said are you saying that WOW is harder than FFXI because if so obviously we didnt play the same game. There's fricken 10 and 12 year olds that are max out on WOW because thats basically a big majority of the players on the WOW servers. Most kids quit FFXI when they figure out that they cant just run around and max levels on FFXI.

Simply put this game is more of and introduction to MMO's, and nothing more. It's for people to get a feel of what a MMO is like. After that you go on to the tougher, longer MMO's that require skill (yes i said skill) to make it to the top ranks!

I had a 41 Human Rogue which was my main until I lost my leveling helper. She was my first WoW toon. Then I made a Troll Priest & basically quit Alliance, [actually wearing my "for the horde" shirt right now]except to check in once in awhile. My priest only made it to 23 before I had to cancel the account (no money) & let my ex brother-in-law have the account. I plan on getting a new account soon hopefully after I get money & I can fix the laptop that I run it on.

But yeah, questing & running instances is hard while stoned. Especially as a priest lol. I was a great (if low-lvl ) priest and if they died it was there own damn fault for being stupid. (One guy got pissed at me cuz he INSISTED I wasn't healing him, even thou I obviously was, or he would of already been dead, so he was stubborn and told me to stop healing him, he could do it, he was a rogue btw, he died twice & suffered armor dmg before he agreed I could heal him {I refuse to heal dumb people who insist they can heal themselves even thou they're NOT a healing class})

Peace.

Guilty as charged, Officer.

Great game for what it is. But thats all it is, a game. I got a level 67 Troll Hunter (Horde) on Earthern Ring (European server) and also a 6 Undead Warlock on the same server.

I might take a delve into Warcraft when it gets fully released.

However, Crysis is currently turning my head. I want to get it, but fear my PC won't handle it, and I can't afford (or justify) upgrading. But saying that, I ain't even looked to see what the spec is.

But I suppose I need to upgrade to Vista to get the full Direct X 10 capabillities.

Ill agree with you that it takes longer to get to 75 with a group of nubs (actually might be impossible since the exp loss due to death) but theres always the option of painfully slow soloing :-p

About your whm in every party comment, ill call bs on that. Post lvl 50 i actually had TROUBLE getting a group. Once ninjas get Utsu Ichi and redmages get Refresh, white mages can almost become obselete depending on the party structure.

and wows easier then ffxi, wows easier then basically every mmo out there. Sure once you get to the crappy end game content (lets go raid this once instance over and over again so i can get this piece of data which will soon be outdated because blizzard spits out broken cotent so fast they dont even bother fixing the old stuff) you've got to depend on others, but you've had to depend on people THE WHOLE GAME in ffxi.

I still stand by my original comment that in EVERY mmo, level is a function of time, NOT skill. and will addend it by saying its also a function of ebay.

I also had 40 Nin, 50 Blm, 50 Thf and 60 Smn on that character, so does that count as getting one dd to 75? :-p

edit: just because its a function of time and not skill doesnt mean it was easy getting there.

I had a 60 priest, 70 warrior, 70 warlock all on the dragonmaw server. I quit off and on and finally quit for good about 8 months ago. I might start playing again when a new expansion comes out, if it's actually fun.

[n1nj4]

I had a 70 Druid and 70 Hunter on Gorefiend.

I quit WoW a while back, and I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XI on the Garuda server.
