Yeah, and sea solos were so easy that I did most of them on BLM/NIN.
I think I needed to use RDM for Prudence? Inside sea was all BLM/NIN though.

a lot of old solos were just get enfeebling high enough to land sleep or grav. the only hard ones are things you couldn't bind/grav/sleep. chigre and jailer solos were my favorite. chigre probably one of the hardest imo, but there were solos like Aynu-kaysey where you just dot > nuke > zone to lose aggro > repeat, that are just time consumers.
I agree that most of it was about a good enfeebling kit and properly manipulating terrain, but to stay on point for hours is respectable and to not lose control when an important enfeeble didn't stick.
My point solely was that RDM doesn't seemed to have changed in any way that makes those less impressive. If Avesta was one of the greatest RDMs, he or she still is.
Now consider a job like PLD that is basically a different beast than it was at 75 (Ochain/Priwen, Phalanx natively, Aegis / being able to be PDT hardcapped, MDT hardcapped and BDT capped all at the same time) and it's practically apples and orangutans. Or comparing BST solos pre-aby to aby-era/pre-nerf bst.

chigre definitely had increased movement speed, and even kiting if you didn't have enough fast cast you'd get hit, and if he hit you it was really really hard to recover from solo.

YouTube Video Placeholder I soloed Sea Horror at 75 cap many times.
But this guy did it at level 67 (he dinged 68 at win).
Not bad at all.

Maybe my point was unclear. I do agree with you, I didn't mean he doesn't deserve to be a notable RDM, or that the RDM "metagame" has changed significantly since then.
"By today's standards" simply meant that at the time, it seemed like an unrivaled feat, no one else really did what he did. But now there are many people felling these NMs as RDM75 the same way, if not with greater ease than, Avesta did. I moreso was pointing out "other people are doing this now too", not "he can't keep up with the modern-day RDM." Not to discredit him by any means, was just stating that everyone may not necessarily agree from that perspective if other people have been replicating his accomplishments (which in itself says something that people aim to simulate him.)
Regardless, he undoubtedly paved the way for other aspiring RDMs and soloists.

Avesta's RDM solo's are the only reason I ever leveled RDM back in the day, I'd say he was noteable (regardless of peoples opinions of him).

Folks, let me tell you, nobody – and I mean nobody – is a better player of Final Fantasy XI than me. It's true. People are saying it, believe me. I've achieved things in the game that nobody else has even come close to. Tremendous accomplishments. My strategies, my tactics – they're incredible, folks. The best.
When I play FFXI, it's like watching a maestro conduct a symphony. Everyone is amazed. They say, "Austar, how do you do it?" And I tell them, it's all about winning. I know how to win, big league. I've got the best gear, the best party, and the best strategies. Nobody's better at this game than me, period.
I’ve beaten the toughest bosses, conquered the hardest quests, and amassed more gil than anyone could ever dream of. Some say it’s impossible, but I’ve done it. The numbers are there, folks. It’s undeniable.
So, to all my fellow adventurers out there, just know that when it comes to FFXI, there's only one name that stands above the rest – and that's Austar. The greatest of all time. Nobody does it better.
Thank you, and keep on winning.

I made the first AG Tizona... and a second one. I'm still salty we never got a numbered system like they did for fishing rods. Our waste of time will be forever forgotten.

People's definitions of best will vary, but seeing as its an MMORPG, I would lend extra weight to anyone who made us better - and by us, I mean ALL of us, which means:
- The Windower developers
- The people on BG (and elsewhere) who reverse engineer the laws of the universe (and document it!)
- The maintainers of the various wikis - some have seen better days than others, but we all benefit from this
You get the idea. How much worse are we, collectively, without those people? Don't forget the FFXIAH team and Ashita.

If you were ever on Bahamut in the early 2000's you had an experience with Birdhair. He got people to pay for refresh from him in parties with his lv 12 nin sub.

Hey Everyone!
After playing FFXI for quite sometime and never seeing an idea being done like this anywhere else i wanted to post this as an idea for the community to take part of. Multiple gaming communities out there have done something similar and i think the old heads of FFXI and new school peeps can have fun with this one.
The Concept
40 players from different servers and different Era's of FFXI get thrown on paper. Everything counts! from simple things such as gear to personal achievements ingame such as [Solo Expertise/Speedruning event's I.E. Dynamis or Nyzul Isle/Job Devotion/Ballista Expertise/Best Social Linkshell on server or even Best Endgame LS] EVERYTHING counts and gets added equally.
Diverse List
The Final List will be as diverse as possible. Meaning the entire list will have different players from different servers that go as far back as the beta days. Also different jobs from across the board I.E. Best Red Mage/Best Blu etc etc, everyone will have a specific reason why they deserve the specific spot.
Community Input
I want to see the FFXI community come together to really throw in some input as to who they think deserves a spot on the list and why. It can be a home server hero they remember or even a friend, it doesn't matter. However please leave any drama associated with a person aside, i would like to see fair debates being tossed around but anything extreme should be left out.
Digging In The Crates
I'm really digging in old FFXI blogs/Forums/Youtube Vids/Etc Etc to find any info about you. If you're on this list then chances are I've researched all i could about you. I've also been on 8 different servers now so chances are some of the names that are here I've either met you ingame or heard about you through friends on different servers.
How will this be showcased?
Either by video series or by twitter post's. I'm not exactly sure which one i'll do just yet however just incase of either, below is links to where the final showcase will happen
Youtube Channel

Twitter Handle
https://twitter.com/Vlera_FFXI
Conclusion
FFXI Is a game most of us grew up with through the years. I really want to see the community come together on this project and have fun with the small debates. Any person you think would be good for the list or deserves a spot or even honorable mentions, please post the names here and any links to info i can view on this person.
Or if you want to send me a /tell ingame with any recommendations
Vaynn On Asura
Let's have fun everyone! Thank You!
