These people valued efficiency over good players. Some people are like that, or backing people because they thing they stand to gain something from them. Kinda makes an LS hell.

It does, but not to penny pinchers.
There are two kinds of efficiency: The kind that is actually efficient, and the kind people think is efficient but is merely an illusion of efficiency.

They were honestly just lazy leaders, and not very good players, yet they demanded their members be or aim to be, top notch.

I'd rather sacrifice some efficiency for having fun
That's why I play with Kitty even though I die multiple times each run

I used to do Abyssea Tahrongi parties with a guy named Ifk from another server who came to Bismarck.

I had a tight-knit group of friends, and we got ***done.
And a really good friend of mine that I feel bad for leaving, but he was probably the most kind-hearted and amazing person I've ever met in my years playing.
If you ever happen to seeh him in game Josi, he goes by Yoruichii (with two i's)

It does, but not to penny pinchers.
There are two kinds of efficiency: The kind that is actually efficient, and the kind people think is efficient but is merely an illusion of efficiency. See, even for a penny pincher I never understood that kind of mindset.
If you want efficiency, if you want to save money, you use good tools, that way things don't take longer than they need to.
In this sense, as bad as it sounds, you think of people as tools. If you don't care for the quality of your people, then it's like not caring for the quality of your tools, your efficiency goes down because you don't care enough to understand that without the proper tools people, ***is either not going to get done or it's going to be aggravatingly slow/inefficient.

I just think some folks take this game way to seriously. It pixels on a screen. I am not saying you shouldn't focus , pay attention, etc. But I have seen some plp flip out. Which to be honest always makes me chuckle. When I was on Cerb there was the dude flipping out about is cures. He never died, I removed all bad stats. But I guess it was not not fast enough and he was shouting WTF, and if it was me I would kick you, etc. I just shouted back “ sheesh” you will wake up your mom, lol.

If you want to save money, you use good tools with the intent to bring in dollars. It's called investing.
If you invest in your LS as a whole, rather than a select group or clique in the LS, your over-all performance and efficiency sky-rockets.
I get the idea of using people as tools, as an analogy, because they are your investments.

I get the idea of using people as tools, as an analogy, because they are your investments. The way I see it is if I don't get a piece of gear and the new guy in the LS gets it, big deal, it's still a win for the LS because you're investing in and improving members.

Exactly, especially if it's going to be a bigger improvement for them, than it would be for us.
I used to organize events around LS members who needed gear for the jobs they used at events, and gear they wanted for jobs they enjoyed playing, and they were pretty happy and didn't really *** about always being on the same job all the time (I tried to be flexible, and even leveled mage jobs to help with flexibility), and people wouldn't suddenly disappear after getting their loot.

I still remember where I met my first friend in FFXI, center of the road, about three yalms from the Bastok Markets gate in South Gustaberg. I rememeber the first person I met in XI was a pld that saved me from Yagudo aggro outside Windurst. Died anyway because I aggroed it again after he left because HURRR HOW DOES I BLACK MAGE.
Ended up in the same Dynamis ls as him a couple years later.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
