- The most enjoyable fight you have had. Sobek
- The battlefield you have done the most. Dynamis - Tavnazia
- Content in the game you really hate doing, but you do it anyway. Key Item farming in Abyssea.
- The most helpful player(s)(or linkshell) you have done things with. Final Armada
- Your favourite job. RDM
- The worst job you play for the sake of getting ahead. WHM, but I hate using NIN a whole lot more!!
- Those old pieces of gear you wish were not collecting dust in Storage or NPC. Paladin Relic mostly. I like the look of it.
- The most useless abilities that you want to use, but wastes your time. Azure Lore + 50% of THF's abilities.
- The greatest accomplishment(s) of your year. Excalibur in June @95 now. Took a long time for me to make! Almace lvl80 in December.
- The nerfs to the game you wish didn't happen. Buff Lock.
- Content you want changed because it's unfair and purely luck based. Salvage + Voidwatch.
- The jobs, relics and empyreans you see all the time. Masemune (urgh) Ragnarok, Ukon, Ochain,
- Them jobs you very rarely see nowadays. RDM! Give us Regain so we can rub it into SCH! >.>
- When you checked someone and thought... Wow, that weapon, wish I had that. Always wanted Apoc! I love seeing it in action but can never really get into DRK. I'd say Murgleis but I've never seen it on game before.
- The most disappointing battle you should have won. Armored Chariot... 1st time I attempted Salvage again since 75 cap got the boss all the way to like 3~5% and my PC Blue screened D: Logged back in dead and RR doesn't work if you die while connection loss ><
- Your thoughts on special events(Mog Bonanza etc.) SE have produced this year. Nothing special really, would like to see the Bonanza or the event they had earlier this year. Would kill for a Murgleis!

- The most enjoyable fight you have had.

I love doing Prov when I can get online and outside of events.

- The battlefield you have done the most.

Hmmmm... hard to say.

- Content in the game you really hate doing, but you do it anyway.

This shouldn't exist for any player, but doing Magian trials that have you killing hundreds of a certain mob family over and over and over.

- The most helpful player(s)(or linkshell) you have done things with.

My lover Cejn. If I was a homosexual, I would *** the ***out of him.

- Your favourite job.

Corsair

- The worst job you play for the sake of getting ahead.

I don't follow this. Playing support is something I've always enjoyed in MMOs. Tanks as well, but tanking doesn't exist in FFXI at the moment.

- Those old pieces of gear you wish were not collecting dust in Storage or NPC.

I have literally *** everything from Dynamis, and the misc job accessories from Aby.

- The most useless abilities that you want to use, but wastes your time.

Has to be Perfect Dodge. How has this ability not been altered yet?

- The greatest accomplishment(s) of your year.

I've build a couple of Empy weapons. Certainly not anything difficult.

- The nerfs to the game you wish didn't happen.

I think the question is, the buffs that didn't happen.

- Content you want changed because it's unfair and purely luck based.

Voidwatch drops. No *** question.

- The jobs, relics and empyreans you see all the time.

Arma, Rag, Almace, Kannagi(by Ninjas wearing Iga body and neck)

- Them jobs you very rarely see nowadays.

Red Mage and Paladin, where are you?

- When you checked someone and thought... Wow, that weapon, wish I had that.

Beastmaster Mythic, Aymur. I haven't seen anyone on Cerberus with it, but it would be something of a pipe dream for me. I would love it.

- The most disappointing battle you should have won.

Half of the dumb *** who don't use fool's drink during Rex's chainspell. It's completely, and utterly, unacceptable.

- Your thoughts on special events(Mog Bonanza etc.)

I don't do them.

-The most enjoyable fight you have had.
Hands down! When the servers went down Lucavi went to KRT to fight Vrtra. It was so much fun and the emotion felt right when the servers were going is indescribable.

- The battlefield you have done the most.
Qilin.

- Your favourite job.
My play style has evolved in many ways but I think DRK and THF are my favorite jobs. THF has overtaken my DNC simply because of the TH proc change SE did this year.
- The worst job you play for the sake of getting ahead.
I have stopped playing jobs I don't enjoy. Well not totally. Today I joined a party to proc red on NIN and I hate ninja.
- Those old pieces of gear you wish were not collecting dust in Storage or NPC.
I would like to see AF1+2 pieces and augments to Relic accessories.
- The most useless abilities that you want to use, but wastes your time.
I don't think I've ever used the meritable SCH stratagems... I'm waiting on that Boost buff they promised some time ago. Triple shot on cor... that should have been given to RNG and COR should have gotten bounty shot.
- The greatest accomplishment(s) of your year.
I've take two breaks this year (4+ months each time) and I've manage to make it to my stage 4 relic.
- The nerfs to the game you wish didn't happen.
The impending change to Embrava. Taking away regain is so dumb. They should just make it a spell like Meteor... with a 15 minute cool down JA or something at that point. They shouldn't nerf PD either. Those abilities make the two jobs dynamic and stand out in their situational roles. Why is WHM so great?

- Content you want changed because it's unfair and purely luck based.
Crafting :)
- The jobs, relics and empyreans you see all the time.
Verethragna, Ragnarok, Masamune and Relic Gun...
- Them jobs you very rarely see nowadays.
Pup, Rdm, Pld, Brd (remember when every party needed a brd?)
- When you checked someone and thought... Wow, that weapon, wish I had that. Every time I see a *** with Empy Dagger
- The most disappointing battle you should have won.
The war on terrorism.

- The most enjoyable fight you have had.
The year was long and i don't quite remember everything i've done, but from recent fights i would say Animated Horn, killing charmed friends is enjoyable!

- The battlefield you have done the most.
Dyna - Bubu i'd say

- Content in the game you really hate doing, but you do it anyway.
Dyna - Bubu probaly lol, it may get fun sometimes but when you spam the same thing daily it gets boring

- The most helpful player(s)(or linkshell) you have done things with.
Kyrah

- Your favourite job.
BLU/RDM/THF, i don't think i've played on RDM much this year tho ; ;

- The worst job you play for the sake of getting ahead.
I love all my 10 jobs

- Those old pieces of gear you wish were not collecting dust in Storage or NPC.
All my RDM gear, i'd love to see the job being useful, or at least efficient for low man purposes, again.

- The most useless abilities that you want to use, but wastes your time.
Gonna say Mijin Gakure because i can't remind of anything more useless atm on the jobs i have

- The greatest accomplishment(s) of your year.
managed to finish 95 Mandau before the new year, the 99 will come in 2013 tho, anyways getting Toci/Heka was probably harder, so i would say those (my mule going 1/11 and 2/12 in Toci's after me going 1/300+ was actually an accomplishement too ;;)

- The nerfs to the game you wish didn't happen.
Buff lock and embrava nerfs

- Content you want changed because it's unfair and purely luck based.
unfair and purely luck based.. looks to me like the description of the mog bonanza?

- The jobs, relics and empyreans you see all the time.
Kannagi NINs, Ragnarok DRKs are catching up tho

- Them jobs you very rarely see nowadays.
BST. (go back to reply #2)

- When you checked someone and thought... Wow, that weapon, wish I had that.
Ryunohige

- The most disappointing battle you should have won.
Going from 97~ to 99 in NNI with -5 mins and getting a kill all objective, WS restricted, with a huge floor and a Behemoth as the ice on the cake

- Your thoughts on special events(Mog Bonanza etc.) SE have produced this year.
The majority of them, not worth my time. Glad to see the bonanza is back for 2013 tho, i love to have -inv.

- The most enjoyable fight you have had.
Neo Nyzul Isle. While people complained it was so heavily luck based I still enjoyed the teamwork my group showed, we left as little to ‘luck’ as possible.

- The battlefield you have done the most.
Probably a tie between Dyna and Salvage, I almost always do one or the other every single day. (Sometimes both)

- Content in the game you really hate doing, but you do it anyway.
Dyna

- The most helpful player(s)(or linkshell) you have done things with.
Jassik
Shadowstorms
Xanther
Aiosama
Hirokei
Brigett

If we're talking more than just 2012 I'd have to mention Llewelyn and Calipso as well.

- Your favorite job.
Samurai

- The worst job you play for the sake of getting ahead.
N/A

- Those old pieces of gear you wish were not collecting dust in Storage or NPC.
A couple of old VW pieces that have been replaced, I’m a sucker and hate throwing away gear that made me feel awesome when I obtained it.

- The most useless abilities that you want to use, but wastes your time.
SAM SP1 (2hour, 1 hour, whatever we’re calling it now…), I’d use it a lot more if you could gain TP with it up.

- The greatest accomplishment(s) of your year.
99 Masamune, Tenryu Hakama +1. I have even bigger plans for 2013!

- The nerfs to the game you wish didn't happen.
Holding buffs, I miss full time zerk and aggressor!

- Content you want changed because it's unfair and purely luck based.
I feel VW drop rates are a little low, if you can kill something 10x you can kill it 600x. I’d rather have harder fights with higher drop rates.

- The jobs, relics and empyreans you see all the time.
Ukons and Rags are probably what I see the most of.

- Them jobs you very rarely see nowadays.
RDM

- When you checked someone and thought... Wow, that weapon, wish I had that.
Kogarasumaru, but the gears are already moving on that.

- The most disappointing battle you should have won.
Meebles final boss, went in with 3 people, I died at some point and had to kite. Simply ran out of time with it at like 1-2%. :\

- Your thoughts on special events(Mog Bonanza etc.) SE have produced this year.
It was nice to have something in its place, though once I started getting items in my dbox I couldn’t sleep till I knew if I had gotten a higher tier. Just got Scythe/Orb stuff.

Where to start...

All from Odin, in chronological order from first met:


Thanks for the mention, as well as the reminiscing story. Those times were great fun in FF.

- The most enjoyable fight you have had.
Nyzul Uncharted as BLU was pretty fun.

- The battlefield you have done the most.
Did a lot of Voidwatch, but have slowed down as of late.

- Content in the game you really hate doing, but you do it anyway.
Dynamis to an extent. I hate dealing with other parties that try to infringe on our camps. Usually not a problem though, and otherwise dynamis is fine to do.

- The most helpful player(s)(or linkshell) you have done things with.
Hadriel, Amaryssa, Xinchan, Nema, Zaknalfein, Minakomori, you are all awesome people I am proud to have as friends.

Jeph/Ponikko... you are my best friend whom keeps me playing this game and moving forward together is a continuing adventure. I owe my progress and successes highly to you; I treasure our friendship.


- Your favourite job.
Paladin, shortly followed by Blue Mage.

- The worst job role you play for the sake of getting ahead.
While BLU is one of my primary passions, I loathe having to do BLU magic procs in Voidwatch.

- Those old pieces of gear you wish were not collecting dust in Storage or NPC.
Eisen/Kampf armor, Ninja AF3 legs, Iron Musketeer & Darksteel armor

- The most useless abilities that you want to use, but wastes your time.
Cover.

- The greatest accomplishment(s) of your year.
  • Ragnarok, my first relic I set out to make long ago.

  • Almace, my favorite weapon for my favorite jobs, upgraded to 90

  • Ochain, one of my most physical testimonies of friendship alongside Ragnarok

  • Accumulating (over the course of this year) just under half of the required heavy metal plates to take my Almace to 95, the majority from my own Voidwatch endeavors and donations from close friends



- The nerfs to the game you wish didn't happen.
Many of the ones introduced this year, but the blinker nerf being unannounced before implementation I felt was poorly handled.

- Content you want changed because it's unfair and purely luck based.
Voidwatch. I have not done Legion before so I cannot say anything in regards to it.

- The jobs, relics and empyreans you see all the time.
WAR/SAM/DRK; Ragnarok, Ukonvasara, Mandau, Kannagi

- Them jobs you very rarely see geared out nowadays.
RDM. Most everything else I can't really say is "rare", just fewer in number and/or the people who have lesser seen jobs are always on WAR/DRK/SAM etc.

- When you checked someone and thought... Wow, that weapon, wish I had that.
99 Almace, Burtgang

- The most disappointing battle you should have won.
VW Tavnazia st1 Abununnu, because the group chose an Honorbound + Seigneur Shield PLD over mine and he was unable to properly hold the side minions.

- Your thoughts on special events(Mog Bonanza etc.) SE have produced this year.
I was fairly upset that even the Rank 5 Gobbiebag prizes (Scythe/Sword and Moogle Suit) were very limited in distribution. Annoyed that people bragged/complained about getting extra sets on mules.

- The most enjoyable fight you have had.
The first fight i used a brew on. I think it was Bukhis.

- The battlefield you have done the most.
Voidwatch, doesn't last too long which is good when you don't have a lot of time to play.

- Content in the game you really hate doing, but you do it anyway.
Abyssea anything. You get tired really fast when making Emp weapons all the time.

- The most helpful player(s)(or linkshell) you have done things with.
Stagger LS in it's prime was quite a bit of fun and the people were extremely helpful.

Dolo,Frozenx,Quixacolt,Hotmama,Gitndown,Beanrod,Aidz,Catra to name a few.



- Your favourite job.
Dragoon - One day we won't need a Ryu to keep up with top dd jobs

- The worst job role you play for the sake of getting ahead.
Nothing, I play to have fun so i'm not going to level a job I dislike to play.

- Those old pieces of gear you wish were not collecting dust in Storage or NPC.
YinYang Robe, Assault Jerkin, Gaudy Harness, Wyvern Mail

- The most useless abilities that you want to use, but wastes your time.
Dragon Breaker - I've only ever used it on puks. I always forget I have it.

- The greatest accomplishment(s) of your year.
Twashtar
Ebisu Rod
Fishing 110
Chauve-Souris

- The nerfs to the game you wish didn't happen.
There has been no nerfs that have effected me at all that I can think of.

- Content you want changed because it's unfair and purely luck based.
Only luck based thing would be Voidwatch but even though i haven't gotten one piece of aura body armor i'm still happy with the event.

- The jobs, relics and empyreans you see all the time.
Jobs:
Drk - Ragnarok, Apoc
War - Ukon

I see these weapons so much that you start to expect people to have them which is terrible for anyone that doesn't and wants to play the same jobs, especially War.

- Them jobs you very rarely see geared out nowadays.
I would have to go with RDM. They are far less common, unlike the days when you had to have a RDM in your party to level.

- When you checked someone and thought... Wow, that weapon, wish I had that.
Ryunohige - Saw one on Odin finally. Whoever it is Congrats on a awesome weapon.

- The most disappointing battle you should have won.
Nothing major, just any battle people aren't using common sense or going afk without telling people. ie. Glavoid and people not turning at the right time consistently even though we have all fought it more times than we can count.

- Your thoughts on special events(Mog Bonanza etc.) SE have produced this year.
I love them! Gives you something to look forward to even if you don't win a prize. Mules getting a prize is fine if you can move the items to your main character. I think there should be a weekly lottery in place with smaller prizes.
