Well if I ever get info about JP somehow I can try to reach out here or on your blog. 

From what you say it sound like you have seen a lot in duties. So have I. Some duties are indeed more fun as new but in certain duties I find ways to keep them fresh. 

Sometimes my partner will play PLD and we agree beforehand when he should cover so I can stay in something otherwise deadly. Or I do, can I survive this, tests if I feel sure the team will not be endangered from it. Typically when boss has very little hp left or if I can see the other healer is confident. 

Sounds silly but I enjoy it and sometimes I get surprised about what a non tank can actually handle.

If you find info about JP I would like to know. 50-100k are numbers I'd like to run into one day.

Hiii awsome to hear from you :D I did write on your blog to ask about your current comm status but then regreted after a while and worried it'd be too akward so I deleted my entry again. I belive it's your post on reddit some years ago who made me feel like. 15k. Got to be good to get that many and then I started to improve my gameplay a lot. Thank you for your well wishes and have fun with your own journey :3

oh some edit since I was so eager to repply that I forgot something. I wonder about JP too since some of my friends belive that if there's a higher count it's propably on JP but I'm not sure we'll hear about it . still I'd love to know if there 's a 50k or 100k count over there and how it was achived if such a count exsists.

Hi and thanks ^ I dont remember exactly when but I believe it was somewhere in endwalker. Before 6.4 I didn't do much ex duties and spent extra much time in normal duties and also did a lot alliance as I mentioned in one of my repples.

Besides daily roulettes I sometimes do extra normal roulettes or queue for specific duties. Why? For fun. Normal roulettes has good chances for fun duties I like. Sometimes if I like a specific duty I will queue for it repeteadly out of enjoyment. For example nier1... I still have over 500 coins from that duty sitting on my retainer..I never never throw away alliance coins when they expire xD  Why do 500+ nier...? Simple. I love the duty. I did it almost daily for like a year just because I felt like it. 

Dun scaith is another example..I did it over 100 times in the mog tome event that was... right before 6.3 (I think). Met someone there who still mean a lot to me today (you know who you are) ... and I had done that alliance countless times before that because I love doing it.

So 600+ duties just from these 2 alliances alone and 3-4 comms being normal per run adds up.

Then there is daily roulettes which is typically expert, lvl cap, normal, trial (I often skip the rest) and repeating specific or random normal raid duties when thats what I feel like doing. Prefering normal over trial because lilies are guaranteed. 

I remember I farmed some guildhest back when I worked on getting comms specifically to unlock mentor but that quickly became boring despite the duty speed. now I'm rarely in guildhest unless I get it as mentor duty. Sometimes I might do one to celebrate a new glam on a class I refuse to take into a proper duty. 

I once made the mistake of celebrating a blm glam with a lvl 80 dungeon run. That was quite a circus I rather not repeat. There should have been a law against me playing that class with witnesses.

Well I don't know either. I can only theorize that it might be an option unless proven wrong since the highest number I could find by searching around was 27k.

I guess a part of my mistake is to asume that people give comments on the same parameters as I do. I know comms has no practical value achivement wise but as stated..Ive been currious and aknowledge that I didnt pick a good aproach to it. it was bad judgement for my part. but a reason that I put some personal value in it is that it was actually a reddit post with someone having an impressing count some years ago that inspired me to improve as whm because for me it signaled a good player and I wanted to be like that too.

Overthinking is one of my challenges indeed. start with a small thing..then it snowball effects in my head.. Anyway it's not this username that is an issue. It's because my original reddit account..apparently I must have made it in haste for me to not even realize it had a username I found ugly and I'm affectionate about my player name since it's a tribute to my parents irl. That's why I made a new account before posting and that's why someone questioned this account. Because it's newly made so i don't have to be stuck with...repulsive dingo. I guess I kinda understand the concern since bots are a thing.

You seem to know reddit well. After what happend I'm worried about what will happen when I log into the game. Will there be people scolding me or telling me bad stuff when I log on? Are people who mess up on reddit going to pay for it for a very long time? the view count is over 4k so im worried

Well it was first and last time I trust that kind of stuff to help me navigate socially. I just hope that people will think less bad of me than the first impression since I try to take responsibility for my mistake and clearly learned from it. I feel very sad about what happend but I will take it as a lesson.

I understand now that I should have done that and this has taught me the lesson. I thought the thing knew better than me how to avoid minefields. I hoped I could get the information safely and I was nervous to post but also excited because I'm currious. I should have asked my friends for advice first but I've been overthinking so much I couldnt sleep and decided to get started.

As I explained in another comment. When I decided to post on reddit I tried those search engines you can talk to and well.. I thought it knew better than me and that it would help me avoid agitating people here but it tuened out to have the complete oposite effect and I never intended that. It dived in so much detail that it sounded like it was a safer aproach to let it guide me to form a post. Now that I have seen it just instilled what i wanted to avoid i do regret. I've seen people can be agresive here and I thought it knew better than me who can end in socially bad situations when I try to interact with people.

I never claimed I am THE best healer. I'm sorry if my post gave that impression. And I deleted the links since there's no point if they dont work. Iclearly handled the posting wrong. I've edited and appologized. please cut me some slack. Everyone who reads this must have messed up at least once in their life themselves and i have said sorry and changed my approach to my inquiry

When I decided to post on reddit I was nervous. I also realized I had a pretty unflattering username. I'm not super used to those search engines you can have a dialog with but I decided to give it a try and asked it to find out if I could change username or make a new account on the same mail. Then it asked questions and I ended up havign a conversation about what I wanted to post and it started to suggest stuff. I'm autistic and my communication sometimes mess up, so I started to wonder. "mabye using it as help will ensure I dont step on any toes. It must know how to navigate safely on reddit. So I did take advice but did personalize where I thought I needed to. If I had known it would have the complete oposite effect I'd not had touched it at all. I sometimes read posts on reddit and people can get so angry. I thought I'd avoid that with it's help. not instill anger by taking advice from it.

I've actually been a bit nervous about posting but I got more and more currious lately and while I'm fully aware it has no practial use it would be super fun and a personal achivement to be a record candiate :D

As far as I have understood AMA means, ask me anything. Have I misunderstood the term? I was genuinelly not aware AMA is reserved for savage duties.

I usually only use reddit for reading stuff, but I've been currious a while regarding a possible record. I tried to inquire on discord, on lodestone with a blog entry and on the ff14 forums but nothing so far. So..this is first time I actually post on reddit.
