So I guess there was some sort of rule put into place saying that we have to be in sky for so many hours before we are allowed to get payout. Because I was in sky for 2 nights but yet I wasn't allowed to get payout because they said I showed up for only a little bit the one night. I was definitely there for 3 Byakko fights and a Faust but they missed me on the "screenshot" of attendance. Normally I wouldn't be too angry about it but it was over 1M for the payout this week and if I would've known I wasn't going to be getting payout I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN SHOWED FOR 2 NIGHTS LAST WEEK!!!! There's basically no reason that I should even be going to sky besides payout. ARGH!!!!! I'm so frustrated over this because it was gil I was planning on getting which is why I haven't been so froogle about my gil the past few days.

I have spent quite a chunk of change on gear upgrades because I have a lot of gil just laying around doing nothing that I could easily be doing something with. So I upgraded my Hauby to a +1 for a good price because one of my friends was offering it to me. Then the weapon I'm using went from a 7k item to a 200k item. I'm back down much lower than I expected and I was counting on last weeks payout to get me back up to a reasonable amount.

Then last night we got a ton of Diorites and they were going to go out of their way to not let people in the LS lot haidates because they wanted to sell them. I mean, they were actually going to only do enough to get the LS one and a buyer one and then just save the rest... If that doesn't sound selfish I don't know what does. This is supposed to be an LS about helping people out, so doing as many Byakko's as we can to get people their haidates is just as good as selling them because then we can just do buyer > buyer > buyer instead of LS > buyer > LS like we have been. We ended up only having enough time to do 3 Byakkos anyways and guess what, no haidates dropped. Its very irksome to see how this LS is being run and it pushes me away that much more. I mean I want to see people get the gear they want and I want to see the LS make gil because then it makes everyone else that is done with gear happy. But when I see people specifically doing things to make it better for themselves rather than that of the group, c'mon people, lets try to be a little selfless once in a while.

Ok, I'm don't ranking for now because I was doing better but now that I'm dwelling on this again I'm just getting frustrated again.

As for DRK, I had a lot more time than I expected to level it this weekend and got it up to 69. Saturday I threw together an LS party that went REALLY well. We were just tearing through colibri like they were nothing. It was also to try and get Khrone some extra PLing experience which he still sucks at. He really needs to tone down on the distractions while he's doing it because I'm pretty sure him fighting, PLing, watching TV, and probably searching the internet all at once isn't so great. When I PL I just concentrate on my char and the PL and maybe have some music playing in the background. I mean having a TV show on is kind of worthless because I'm gonna miss most of it anyways and if I really want to watch it I can just DVR it. Once I started making fun of him and continually pointing out that he wasn't doing anything he started to pay more attention but still wasn't all that good. The next day he was helping PL a party that Hybrid made and even Hybrid said Khrone was a crappy PL. Yeah Khrone, he said it. :P Learn to concentrate on your char and the PL instead of the TV. Also, put your laptop on your desk so its infront of you and you don't have to turn to hit a macro on your laptop, it works way better that way.

I'm happy to be making more and more progress on my char though because it shows that I am accomplishing things in game again. For DRK, I'm a little under halfway done going from 50 to 66 but I will hopefully be able to throw together some parties to rock out my way to 66 in no time. Once DRK is done I already have laid out what I need for DRG and it really doesn't seem like much outside of a lance and the Spiked Finger Gauntlets. The gauntlets are going to be the expensive piece for DRG but they will be good for the whole time I'm on DRG.

There are a few things I have to do tonight before I try going to exp or skill up or anything like that. I need to check on my Campaign status to be sure I don't rank down on either of my chars. One other thing I need to do is check on Screamin's ToAU missions. At some point Khrone caught up to Screamin so now I need to make sure Screamin is ready for the next fight so I can get him moving through those missions as well. The ring would definitely be a nice upgrade for his MNK.
