So....how much money is in the bank?
Haha... WoW isn't full of fail programming. We actually have a guild bank. Everyone can see the balance and at least see all of the items that the guild bank contains. Everyone has access to everything except for the last tab (the bank has 6 tabs), you request it and we get it for you.
I don't miss the gameplay of ffxi, but I miss the drama. You guys don't seem to get much drama here in WoWland. Isn't anyone plotting an overthrow of the guild?
Not one person is ambitious enough to take the cream of the crop from this guild and venture out on their own to make a name for themselves? I'm sure Tempus's overbearing nature has worn thin with at least a few of you. C'mon people, rise up and be recognized for the effort you put forth!
I'm guessing that WoW doesn't have the same e-peen factor, since through instancing you're not in direct competition with other guilds, so you don't build up the hatred for other guilds like you do in FFXI. And that's a damn shame.
I for one do not miss the drama. I miss over coming the FFXI drama but not the actual drama. It's fun when your brother gets kicked from a guild and you start a new one and it's a success. It's fun when you go from social to end game. It's fun to have a guild with 100+ people on the points list. It's fun to be hated by complete fucking strangers based solely on your success. It's fun when the people you are running Dynamis with get and ego and you decide to do it on your own. I could go on and on...
What's not fun? The world greatest ideas combined with the shittiest programming.
FF
No guild bank. No guild ranks. No officer channel. Disbanding an alliance or everyone passing on an item results in the loss of said item (Poof, it disappears, no one gets it!). Waiting for retards to pass/lot. Every single area has the potential for tons of aggro but you will NOT be able to solo the aggro. Inability to solo period. I was a fucking 75 WHM and BLM and it takes forever to kill mobs 20 levels under me? Fucktarded, I'm sorry. Constantly losing XP makes it so that YOU have to XP. Worst PvP system I have ever played. Ridiculous travel times!! No mounts (I think they added summonable Chocobos, still....). 15 mins waiting for the ?? to repop?! When you do kill something in Dynamis, Sky, Limbus, forced pop... You will walk away with 1, maybe 2 high end desired items. Where as here... It's more like 4-5.
FF has no
Armory. No
progression sites. No
thotbott. SE does not listen to its players at all. Where as Blizz has forums discussing everything all the time. Constantly asking for feedback and actually implementing the feasible ideas.
The basis of SE programming is: "what can we do to make this take them longer? They will never be able to walk away from FF now? I mean who would after dedicating so much time?" Harder? Sure I guess FF is harder. But it just all seems like a huge time sink. You spend less time struggling and fighting in WoW and more time just playing and enjoying the game...
EVERYTHING is in favor of having a happy healthy guild in WoW. The encounters are instanced. Meaning it's private. If you fail miserably or are an incredible success, chances are no but your guildmates will be around. More control over the loot system. Jesus... I almost forgot.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE UI!It really hurts to say it... But when it comes to FF online. FF stands for fucking fail...
This is the only game, where a bunch of scrubs can show up as level ones, on a low pop server (especially horde side) and make a kick ass raiding guild out of it. We are ranked 13th officially, more like 11th because two of those guilds disbanded recently... Not too shabby imo...
The biggest difference so far in WoW is the people. We let EO FF get a bit too big I think. Which just results in a lot of unhappy people. Members need attention I guess or a spot where they feel they are welcome and needed, etc...
We have a ton of great officers/advisors here (no slam on you guys, you guys are awesome too) and a great supporting cast. Drama and conflict has been really low... People are just easy going and easy to get along with...
Anyways. <3 EO and Orphans old and new...
</3 SE for ruining what was supposed to be the best MMO ever.
