Dedication to goals is resume worthy.
Ability to follow through on goals and quantify results is resume worthy. I disagree wholeheartedly if you associate them with videogames in your resume.
They are great for making experience, sure. But no one but you is gonna give a *** and the person picking up your resume and finding videogame information is just gonna think it's weird.

I don't think when I applied for my job I put: Helped my linkshell get 3 relics yo !
that may have brought you bonus points a decade ago, but nowadays it's nothing special anymore ^^
Speaking of relics, how's that Mandau?

It really depends on the market, it works in some, in most though: no.

I'm sorry that years of bitterness eats at you guys because you leeched off linkshells for drops but I made alot of people very wealthy and that's worth saying time and time again. The servers may not be what they used to be, the old days may be gone but the spirit of hardwork and dedication aren't going anywhere.
Make excuses all you want, those relics, that dynamis, those principles on which FFXI made its name on aren't going anywhere and any employer would be lucky to get someone who believes in helping their co-workers, sets goals and is accountable.
You are the one who was bitching about someone not claiming a worm for you! Lazy! Leech! Millennial gimme gimme even though i didn't earn it!

Hey I lead a LS back in the day too. I was an officer in another. Both made plenty of people gil during their tenure. leadership in an LS is pretty tough to quantify across a job interview.

Who said anything about gaming? This is about results. And I have delivered them time and time again. During my last interview I asked my HR rep if they know the tenets of duty, loyalty and honor and she told me no one ever associated our organization in that manner before.
I've made alot of people very wealthy.

I did know one person who used it on a resume and got hired. It was one of my sacks, dunno if it was true.. Didn't care.

So I guess all those sales for gil and accounts were worth internet dollars or that the Chinese RMT market isn't worth billions.

I made people wealthy. Alot of people.
You can keep trying to frame it otherwise but I was that person making dreams come true. You wanted an Aegis? We made it happen. Some day some guy is going to tell his kid he slayed a dragon living under a tree and who made that happen? I did.
Do you discredit JK Rowling because her story was about fake wizards in a fake England? Or E.L James for writing a book about relationship abuse? Didn't think so.

Sparth, the billion dollar ffxi tycoon.
C'mon....
If gil is worth 10 bucks a mil and you made 3 billion dollars in gil over 10 years, that's 3k a year over those 10 years.
...and it only took you 4 hours of playtime a day to do it.

The pressure of leading a group to beat a computer enemy in a videogame is not the same as meeting the monthly goals for a company, an office, or what have you.
Sure if you get a lot into it it might stress you just as much, but that's all on your word alone, it's not real work, there are no concrete results. It doesn't matter much if you quelled internal conflicts, planned schedules and handled resources, cause it was all in the context of playing.
But I guess I just have much more strict expectations as a boss.

Do you know how much thinking it took to keep up this ridiculous charade?
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
