I used to have FFXI on PC and PS2, I always played on ps2 because I could just lay in bed or whatever and be lazy while playing.. I didnt really prefer being hunched over a desk and killing myself like that on a PC.

 

I only kept it on PC because it was my laptop and I could take it around and play anywhere...

Consoles are more comfortable in my opinion, especially now everything is wireless

I used to play WHM/BLM and honestly I don't know how I could've managed without a keyboard. I had like ten million macros for my stuff :<

I'm an old school WHM on Cerberus. I was the shiz. and I found it easier to play without macros for that job.

No offense, but you couldn't be as good as the actual good WHM's.  If you don't have macro's, you're automatically slower than me.  Hell, I even had an alliance set where I could quickly cast on alliance members without having to go through the trouble of funny keys or lots of tabs.

If you don't cure at the perfect time, you get agro and if you don't cast any of your other spells at the perfect time you ruin the flow of the party or slow things down.  While you're sitting with cure ready on the tank, I'm busy doing everything else.


Funny, I was always the main WHM in my HNMLS on Cerberus. I used to cover our best tank, and possibly the best damn tank of all time Boaz. Me and that guy were an unstoppable team.


Again, no offense, but I just doubt you were one of the best.

1) Everyone thinks "they're one of the best ____" or "they're in the best xLS", they're not.

2) I believe you truly think you and your tank were one of the best, I just don't think it's true.  If you've never experienced better simply because you haven't played with better for whatever reason, it's easy to think you're the best.

3) Covering a single tank isn't really a hard job and in that case, macros aren't hugely important (though macros are always better than no macros).  One more time, absolutely no offense here, but if I knew you didn't use macros, I would probably tell you to concentrate on a single person too.  Not because you're awesome, but because I would seriously doubt your ability to do anything else.  A good clue covering only the tank isn't hard and doesn't require as good of a healer?  This job was usually defauled to me when I went and did at with my LS when I was only a 60SMN and they were all 75.

4) You may be the best WHM around that doesn't use macros, but you're still probably not as good as a mediocre WHM that does use macros.  It's actually fairly funny that you consider yourself awesome but don't use macros.  Just because you're playing it the harder way, or old school, and being stubborn doesn't make your better.

I made almost my entire career as a mage and my mains were SMN, WHM, BRD, and SCH so I know healing.  I had every mage class leveled to at least 37 and many of the melee classes decently leveled too.  If you're not using macros, you're doing it wrong.  Lets just hope you never played RDM.
