So I brought up this thread to a friend and mentioned the term of the use "Carebear" in it.
He had this to say:

Quote from:

While we're traversing this sensitive area, let's not forget that PvPers are sad children with daddy issues and raiders are lifeless basement dwellers with inflict naught but cancer onto MMOs.

I more or less agree, to the degree that said PvPers being talked about are the ones that spend 8 hours a day, 7 days a week on it.
The kind that use the term "Carebear" to describe anyone who doesn't PvP, in other words.
Yes, I'm aware FF11's PvP is, for want of a better term, 'lacking', but I've seen the term carebear basically extend to a general 'burn' the hardcore like to call anyone who isn't as hardcore as they are and who just want to actually enjoy the game.

The situation you posted about after this post Nor is what I'd call a 'retard.' Knowing what to cast and when should be a god damned requirement for being in a party.

(shut up, Alex, that only lasted until like LEvel 30 or so)

Doubt he means carebears in that sense when it comes to FFXI. People there get seriously offended when you remind them to goddamn cast barwatera because SCREWDRIVER KILLS THE FUCKING TANK.

Norondor · « **Reply #126 on:** October 07, 2008, 02:19:32 PM »

I mean, ordinarily i would not care, but I LOST EXPERIENCE FROM THAT AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A FUCKING RES AND ENDURE YOUR COMPLAINTS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THE 18NIN/5THF TANK INSTEAD OF ME

I WILL RAPE YOU TO DEATH

I want you to reup so bad.

I wish I knew how to quit you. :(

(confidential to newbie: noro sums it up yet again. ffxi is hard but it isn't nearly as hard as everybody seems to think it is.)

Shinra · « **Reply #132 on:** October 07, 2008, 04:01:39 PM »

I would say problem #1 with final fantasy XI is that I need to buy gil to have fun playing this game. :( It is so hard to make money early on. Nothing drops gil, and there isn't any gil yielding quests. Any tips here?

Norondor · « **Reply #133 on:** October 07, 2008, 04:02:53 PM »

uhhhh yes there are quests. bat wings. sell them. also, auction crystals.

Brentai · « **Reply #134 on:** October 07, 2008, 04:26:42 PM »

Sometimes I get the impression that FFXI would actually be a really easy traditional RPG, but the inability to control the majority of your party makes it near-impossible.

Then again, FFXII is brutal.

Norondor · « **Reply #135 on:** October 07, 2008, 04:35:12 PM »

No, it just is not. Cast Decoy and Reverse on anyone you like. Congratulations! now you can beat the game at level one with no equipment.

ATTN: Masochists out there reading this thread, just DYING to jump on the hot shit FFXI bandwagon: 14 day free trial, no credit card required

McDohl · « **Reply #137 on:** October 07, 2008, 04:53:01 PM »

Fuck, I'll give it a shot. What server do the guys that still play play on? Because I hear they do that CoX-Exemplar/Sidekick thing these days.

Brentai · « **Reply #138 on:** October 07, 2008, 04:58:02 PM »

Okay, I'll admit, I considered this for... about 10 seconds.

Probably would have gone into the negatives if I ever had to QA the damn thing.

Kayma · « **Reply #139 on:** October 07, 2008, 04:59:15 PM »

I might do it. I don't see what harm 14 days would do.

He said, shortly before shooting up.
