Generally speaking if someone doesn't talk to me for a while I just assume that they're no longer interested and stop interacting with them. It's not that I'm anti-social, I've just been burned far too often by the habit of people adding me as a friend with the intention of plotting together only to just...never actually get around to doing anything.
This makes me a little worried that I may unintentionally be burning bridges and missing out on potential plots and connections. I'm lucky enough to have a pretty close knit bunch of in-game friends that I talk to literally everyday but I do feel a little bad that it's seemingly so difficult for me to branch out beyond that.
Everyone seems to do that bare a few and... I constantly have to poke people to play with them. It's... super exhausting to say the least, having to constantly keep that friendlist active and all...
Especially when I'm not exactly the most extrovert there is... Always feel like intruding, as silly as it sounds.

When I heal low level dungeons, I'm often bored and tab out to do other things or start dpsing and forget that I'm the healer. As a result, my friend died three times in the same dungeon. Sorry.
I spam annoying chat macros and auto-translate phrases in dungeons with said friend.
I have an annoying limit break macro.
I forget to change out of RP gear when entering a dungeon.
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - GhostlyMaiden - 05-13-2016
So I went through a Thordan EX learning party as a healer to help someone out and we made it up to meteors before disbanding.
Next day I saw a farm party and asked them that although BLM is my primary class, would it be okay if I went as an AST. People were pretty chill with that.
All things considering, I did pretty damn well keep up through the meteor phase - I even solo healed the first part where Thordan smacks you with aoe+tank buster. It was after we made it past the meteor phase that everything went to hell.
I was so busy looking out for mechanics that I forgot about my party list and thus, forgot to heal. When I went to focus more on my party list, I forgot mechanics.....
We made it through the fight after about 3 wipes. To say the least, no one stayed in that farm party. I'm so sorry for the people who had to deal with me. >.<
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Lloyd Whitewolf - 05-13-2016
I feel terrible as well, when I queue up for trial as tank and I get Chrysalis, I give the group 2 chances before bowing out. I never understood why people struggle with that fight, it's seriously the news SoF.
Besides that, I am tired of my group wiping on the same mechanics on A6s every week, it's getting to the point where I am expecting people to mess up on the mechanics. I know it's a terrible thing to say, but maybe this week, my static will see vortexer, finally >.>
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Telluride - 05-13-2016
I've get plagued by a similar issue to what Graeham faces: I make or get RP contacts, and look to set up a connection, or begin the process of making time and room for them, and things fall by the wayside. It's been tougher, lately, because I've been trying to get out of the house more and commune a little more with RL, and have been gradually putting together a serial RP story (involving a few alts, which makes me harder to find) but there are still a few folks I've meant to RP with, or at least give it a shot, and it evaporates. I'm not the sort of person who likes sending constant messages about it, beyond a couple, because I'm certain it would get to look more like stalking or an annoyance when, for all I know, something else may have come up for the other party, or they may have gotten into some new and interesting business taking up their time.
I just don't want people to think I'm dismissing or ignoring them.
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - FreelanceWizard - 05-13-2016
Last night, I was so enthusiastic about getting to use Meteor that I dropped it on Brute Justice right after he landed.
For those not familiar with the Black Mage LB3, Meteor has a long cast time plus a significant animation lock. Its animation is also blindingly bright.
I then got to watch as the AE circles wiped everyone except the tanks.
The worst part is, that's about 20th time I've done M4 and I know better than to drop it then.

If this happens it can help to reexamine your processes. We had something similar happen on A7S until we went through the whole fight, mechanic and mechanic, and tried to simplify any mechanic that had a high degree of failure.
It could be worth it to take a lockout to just try new things!
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Kibu - 05-13-2016
I dismiss my familiar when just running around places, and will usually forget to re-summon it until the second or third pull in a dungeon. Or about 30 seconds into a primal fight.
And sometimes I go into healer tunnel vision where I'm so focused on getting everyone's health up that I forget to watch for AOEs and get myself killed...
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Momoka - 05-16-2016
I am one of those people who are like "MAN YOUR CHARACTER IS SO COOL" then I...I just dont. Idk. Im a very reclusive person in game, I dont particularly go out of my way to interact with those outside my small social circle, and to be perfectly honest I just dont like dealing with people after work. My hours are strange, my moods after my shifts stranger, and Im often times happier just curling up with my best friend and my pseudo rp partner and calling it a day.Â
Id love to be a part of the community more, but Ive become such a misanthrope, and Ive gotten downright NASTY to people who have just approached me in the wrong way because I had a long day of being abused by entitled shitheads at work. Im not a TOTAL bitch, sorry balmung T_T
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Mia Moui - 05-16-2016
I haven't been able to log into the game because I'm so embarrassed about not being able to log into the game since February. Â It's true that I've been busy (very busy) but if this were City of Heroes, almost nothing aside from death or injury could have stopped me from logging in.Â
The embarrassment is overwhelming but I can't cancel subscription because that would mean admitting to myself that I have this problem.

I don't even..... I get angry when people DON'T do this. Seriously, if it's not 1-10 gil then nine times out of ten it's some clown dropping the item's value by 5-20k. I don't see the issue with undercutting by 1 gil. It simply means you are taking advantage of the moment to have your items listed first. That's perfectly fine and normal market etiquette. What's actually bad is when people arbitrarily take big chunks out of an item's value and consequently cause everyone's profits to suffer when it comes their turn to undercut.
Please by all means continue doing this and know that you are doing a service to everyone else also trying to sell. Everyone profits more that way and the world keeps spinning.
As for my sins, I'm sorry for getting depressed about aspects surrounding one or two RP sessions of mine own making and putting off tagging until the point where I felt too embarrassed to post at all and consequently saw the entire thing abandoned. Every time I saw your names in-game or on the forums, you few who very kindly participated back then, I died a little inside and really hoped you didn't dislike me for it ;

I know the feeling of now being able to login to do anything but more so due to life kicking me in the back of the head. My problem as been the need for money and work offering extra shifts. No longer have a money problem but now my sleep pattern is all messed up for working the better half of a year different shift nearly every day.
But I ask forgiveness most of the performers of the "A Show of Farce" event. I passed out from exhaustion sometime after.... Leanne's song. At least the last one I can at least somewhat remember was Leanne. I sorry for the others I missed and anyone who tried to pm me or anything due said event. T.T
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Chompie - 05-16-2016
I get really huffy about scheduling. Everything that goes wrong about it just makes me turn into a childish brat. Everything. Even me missing times I scheduled, for my own reasons.

RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Kilieit - 05-17-2016
I ask my friends to roulette with me because I find tanking for strangers inordinately stressful...
...then, due to the lack of pressure, I somehow go from being a mediocre-bordering-good tank to being an awful tank. Losing mobs on big pulls, forgetting about patrols, doing the first three pulls without Grit on, the lot. I even got Terror'd in Haukke Manor yesterday. On the last boss. While adds galore were up. Who even does that? The AoE gives you, like, 5 entire seconds to stun or GTFO! I somehow did neither!
Also I mean, while I'm at it, I should probably mention that I annoy my friends approximately 100% of the time by constantly saying I'm awful at everything except my absolute comfort zone (which is SCH healing). I can only imagine they're tired of feeling like they have to reassure me, or of me "deluding myself" into thinking I'm worse than I am. I guess it's easier to say I'm bad when I'm not, than to say I'm good when I'm not? Or just that anxiety thing of "I feel bad, therefore I must be bad"?
In both cases: sorry, friends...

Oh my god so much this. I have never been able to fathom the attitude that undercutting someone by a small amount is somehow malicious or petty or otherwise deserving of ire. That's how the markets stay healthy, people. Undercutting in huge chunks all the time is destructive to everyone.
My own sins? Uhh I dunno, I'm a pretty swell person. The other day I died to a really simple mechanic because I was too busy making jokes and flirting with the bard (and maybe also the healer) in the middle of the boss fight to play at 100%. Does that count? I mean, it really wasn't my fault. They were being all, like, aggressively hot at me, and laughing and engaging with me through the whole dungeon. What was I supposed to do, not respond and just focus on the fight? What am I, a robot?
