Does this bother anyone else?

You know, for awhile now I've noticed there seems to be a common problem with our high level friends that they dont seem to remember what it's like to be lower level. Looking up some info on a qeust I'm on, "Blue Ribbon Blues" I found this on Lich C. Magnus, the NM you have to beat to finish the quest.
Man, talk about Lich being weak. I went in as 75 War/Nin with my level 57 NPC out for back up and popped this guy. I didn't expect him to bring me anywhere near close to death, but I also went in expecting him to put up a fight...
He went on to say pretty much it was weak as hell, managed to slow him down a little bit with some ability.

Is it just me or are things like these being posted way too much? Yea, it's nice that you were able to solo it. But you're level 75. That doesnt really give us much info on it. It seems that any time you find a post about a mission or quest or NM battle and they say it was really simple, it's always followed by a "I went in as a level 75" something or other, usually rdm/nin. Even found once on a mission info (and i quote this exactly) "And it's confirmed! This is soloable by a 75 rdm/nin, I did it last week" It's become a kind of inside joke between me and my dad(yes my dad plays), that whenever we're gonna do something and we're not sure if we can beat it, we say "well, all we gotta do is find a lvl 75 rdm/nin!"

It's sad that this is so common isnt it? :roll: please never do this.

And one last thing to clear up. I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure this quest was there before the Rise of the Zilart expansion, so the level cap was 50. The lich is level 58. That being said, at the time, it took at least a full party or two of people at cap level to beat it.

Yes I know exactly what you mean,

Every "newer" player gets things thrown into their lap these days.
All they have to do is shout in Jueno for a bit and add {Reward} to it.
Hell getting spammed with {Fenrir}{Help me out!}{Reward} 100k drives me nuts sometimes.
Especially since I lvled whm to 75 myself to play the job I loved ever since I entered Qufim as a lvl 19 war almost 2 years ago.
And that is smn.

As a matter of fact having 2 jobs 70+ now I envy the guys on Hydra.
There's no High lvl help and people get everything the way it's supposed to.
They have to work for it, there's no high lvl mage PLing them through the dunes, there is no High lvl to help them get their G1 items.
And there is no High level person to solo that mission or quest for them.
They are doing it themselves, that's where the real adventure lies.

That's why I'm probably one of the few people that is actually happy that CoP has so much level capped stuff.
Sure it's really hard to beat, but in the end it feels super rewarding to have gotten there with the friends and the skill needed to get where you are.

As for that quest, I duoed it at 61 with a 65 PLD and had a rough time.
But it was fun as hell. :)

Some people just tend to brag. Idiots. >.<; Sadly, odds are they won't stop. My real life, and in game boyfriend, Majin, is extremely full of himself sometimes. Hes just a lv 50 drk though. I tend to ignore it...it sorta makes me laugh a little.

Even CoP has gotten to the point where people have figured out how to beat it easily which is why you see 1xWAR/NIN, 1xWHM/BLM and 4x SMN or RNG parties for Promy or 6x BLM for Diabolos.

Give people long enough and they'll find a way to half-ass their way through anything.

I just wanna see if I can solo things with a 75 WHM/NIN.

Whats funny is that {Reward } is read on a japanese client as approximately "To feed" So a shout like that would be seen as somethin like "Avatar Fenrir Give Me a Hand!! You eat this"

Not rrrealy a surprise, you see therrre is this Elvaan attitude that many of them have. Heck, aspire to. It seemed from your comments that he is just full of it. The Elvaan attitude I mean....

I agree, very nice work you have a real talent :)

Did you use Open Canvas or another program? It has that "OC" kind of feel to it :lol:

Well slap my ass and call me Judy :lol:
I use PS7 too, OC works tend to have a more "painted" feel, can kinda see the brush strokes, I got that feel from your siggy hehe and I was wrong :lol:
