I think, just judging by the tone of your post, that you were probably a below average player who thought he was amazing because he could grind and read a thread or two.

Naw... I was ok... a no homan man that could still hang with the high gear people... I was in a time where blu's weren't respected, because a lot of them didn't know what they were doing, but I was always chosen to party with peeps, and needed to go with others because I was pretty good... but I guess I can wait till final fantasy 14 comes out on ps3... i'm just bored waiting for it, I need my FF online fix...

You couldn't even manage Homam but you consider yourself a good player? Damn, you have got some really low standards.

Well I left when it was fairly new... and my Ls that I was in wasn't the best of LS's when it came to sea... and the time I did get in a really good LS we were busy with a lot of other stuff, and I didn't have that much playtime... So its nice to know that in two posts I went from a person who grinds a lot, has good gear, and thinks he's a bad ass because of it, to a person who didn't have the best gear, and was still considered good, which I think I stated I was in the first place...

Dumb ass...

Just because a man didn't have the best gear available doesn't mean he's not good, it just means he didn't kiss ass, and didn't leave friends to flock to the next LS who could get him those things, but when it came to things that were easily reachable like being the first person on your server with full blu mage AF when it came out, while people were running around crying about how they couldn't get the silk threads and cried for patches, and partying with blu mages who were amazed when I used magic spells that they were to lazy to get.... yeah, I think I played the job well, pretty damn well, to be in a party without a red mage, and still get chain 400's holding my own with samurai's and other DD's back when we were frowned upon like we were brats who couldn't function without a refresh.... yeah i think I did aight....

K, first off, anyone using the word "a'ight" as a descriptor should be automatically ignored. It's one thing as an acknowledgment, but you just sound like a twerp otherwise. Especially as I'm betting you're every bit as pale as me.

Secondly, Limbus was released in late 2005 or early 2006 (cannot recall which). It was a part of the Chains of Promathia expansion. Blue Mage was part of Treasures of Aht Urghan. Wings of the Goddess was released in bloody November 2007. You were not "inspiring" if you lacked Homam gear by the time Wings of the Goddess was released.

Third, I'm betting your primary competition for the comment, "He's a good Blue Mage," were people wearing MP gear, full AF, using almost nothing but Head Butt, and forgetting all about Chain Affinity. Oh, and they probably all subbed Thief because there was no danger they'd ever pull aggro off the people who were actually killing the mob. If you were geared properly for melee and actually used your spells correctly, it wouldn't be hard for you to be top of the pile. It's not difficult to be King Among Imbeciles.

Basically, get over yourself. You're trying to get people to respect you for some vague sense of self-satisfaction that is about 4 years past its expiration date. Do you understand how frighteningly pathetic that is? Achieve something new and interesting, even if it is nothing more than re-activating your old account and leveling to 90, then post about it. Until then, check your ego at the door, 'cause you ain't shit these days.

I'm sorry to say this, but there is more to being "good" than "playing the job well" and getting high chains on colibri. This is something only achieved by getting high/top tier gear. Same can be said for all jobs. At any rate, BLU in part was not "respected" because they were less efficient when it comes to merit PTs or endgame content. The top tiered BLU could be bested by above average geared SAM, WAR, DRG etc-- which is why I find it hard to believe you kept up with anyone and more rather rode the coat tails of a party to a high exp chain (something that's not very awesome in the first place).

First with full Blue Mage AF? Get serious, that's no accomplishment to be proud of then, and it isn't now. You actually remind me of my self... I was feeling elitist over stupid shit like that as well, lol.

With all that being said, you can gear yourself to top gear status extremely easy these days-- you can defeat Proto-Omega with as little as 3-4 people now, so Homam (only feet and hands are useful as of right now, before this upcoming update) should not be a tough hurdle to over come. The rest of the Abyssea gear is extremely easy to obtain, now that "!!" triggering has been decoded. All minor sets in between are a joke to obtain now as well. The only thing of relative difficulty to obtain anymore is Tizona, to which is because of a lack of Alexandrite supply.

Zazaza, haven't posted in forever, so I'll post in the fashion of Pro earlier. Got every piece of Abyssea gear imaginable for BLU sans Mavi Neck/Earring (lol). No level 90 Almace. (not worth the stone waste yet) Still no Fort Torque. (lolol) That about covers it.
