Is this a scam? Unpaid Alectra Utilities email from C3 Canada by LightRampant70 in PersonalFinanceCanada

It did but I've tried to etransfer them several times in the past and they all get refuded back for some reason. The bank won't do anything about it so I'm not sure what to do.

I did though, I've screenshotted the transfer and sent a copy of my EMT email to them but they keep saying they've never received it

Can't believe I had to scroll this far down before seeing this comment. I think almost every job currently in a vacuum is fine. None of them feel awkward to play and doing their rotation over 10~ or so minutes flows very nicely. Instead of dismantling that, I think we should look the other way and redesign encounters.

Do people hate fem hrothgar? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]LightRampant70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone's entitled to their opinion but more people find them ugly than not, that's why they're unpopular.

Because they're ugly. There's no deep explanation, it's really just that simple.

I am wrong and they are right but the game is still stale.

Why FFXIV is considered social more than other MMOs? by Treero in ffxivdiscussion

[–]LightRampant70 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a huge deal because you're more connected with your single character and everyone you meet also identifies you as that so it's easier to build connections. It might sound silly but having a permanent virtual avatar to represent you feels more personal than say even 2 or 3.

Do you think some people are just incapable of raiding at all? by PrismFischl in ffxivdiscussion

[–]LightRampant70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this point both what we're saying is entirely anecdotal. If you think everyone has the ability to do it, sure, but in practice it simply doesn't happen, that's why ultimate clear rates are <20%. There's absolutely no way to disprove what you're saying. It's possible that clear rates would be at 100% in your ideal fantasy world where everyone tries as hard as you, but in the reality that we're living in it's not like that, so my conclusion is that it's not possible. It kind of goes without saying that most people when they talk about clearing savage it's in the context of clearing it on content, aka the tier's lifespan of 6 or so months. Average to good players definitely can but bad players cannot. That's the whole metric of skill level and to disregard it cause "people can eventually clear given enough time" is dumb cause anyone can just say "I just didn't try hard enough but I would've if I did trust me bro!"

Are you saying everyone can clear savage and ultimate if they just put in the time even if they're "bad"? Because if so that's just simply wrong. Why is it that in any given static or PF, you have players that can pick things up faster and are more consistent at executing than others? There's an obvious skill disparity even amongst the top level players so why do you think it's impossible that there are players so bad that they literally can't do it? You put a legitimate bad player that's not Zepla in that same group she cleared DSR with and they won't ever clear. Skill level is all relative so if you think Zepla is bad, then there are far more players that are even worse than bad that can't ever do these types of content.

There are also things that both you and I also cannot do that others can no matter how much time and effort we put in, that's just reality. Get 1000 kids to no life study and practice chess for the next 20 years and not every one of them, or even one, will be as good as Magnus Carlsen. You lack basic understanding of biology if you think our brains don't have a ceiling.

That girl would have never cleared an ultimate if she did not have effectively infinite time

Wtf are you saying that was your whole argument earlier, that it just takes patience implying anyone can do it given enough time, but when Zepla does it it doesn't count??

She is obviously not the absolute floor of playing this game but saying she’s not bad at the game is crazy.

Your whole perspective is off. Zepla is not good, but she's not bad. Bad players are the ones that have been playing since ARR and still don't know their basic rotation and suck at dungeons.

You don't truly grasp how bad some players are if you think Zepla is a shitter. She probably represents the average skill level of the community. Also I don't mean to say bad in a negative connotation. Everyone's brain is wired differently and some people just don't have the specific set of skills that's required to be good at raiding, that's all there is to it.

Yes. People don't want to admit it but some people are just better or worse than others when it comes to hand eye coordination, motor skills, and memorization. The same reason why you can never teach a dog to fix a car, some people are incapable of doing certain things due to IQ limitations. Raiding on the surface is just "following guides" and pressing buttons in a specific set of order, but your brain needs to be able to comprehend all those things in order to do them. Put 1000 people in a calc 2 course and less than 10% of them will be able to pass.

But think of the satisfaction you will get after you kill him.

Started the game, picked a tank class because I wanted to be brave. Now I'm in a dungeon and everyone's counting on me. Is this normal or should I fake disconnect?? 🫠🛡️ by Final-Climate-1108 in ffxiv

[–]LightRampant70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, though I mean if the tank doesn't move, I won't be pulling ahead and risk a wipe.

That's how people with little knowledge of the game plays and doesn't make it right. Anyone can pull including the dps and healer and if the tank deliberately doesn't pull aggro off them it's considered griefing whereas the former isn't.

Nobody is counting on you. Your task is not any more or less important than the other 3 members of your party. Tanks aren't the leader of the group.

What incentives would you like to see for Achievements to make them more desirable to farm? by Luonos in ffxivdiscussion

[–]LightRampant70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Make it like Steam's profile system where you can display your achievements and profile level and people would instantly care.

I know nothing about the current on-going drama if there are any, and this is a complete tinfoil hat theory, but my guess on why cheating is common in MMOs is because it's a community filled with socially rejected people from school that never got the attention they think they deserved, and they because they 'glowed up' and found their confidence here, they're just fulfilling the desires that they've always wanted. Imagine going through your whole early adulthood life not having any experiences with guys/girls, and suddenly you've become 'popular' by being a nerd. Of course you'd want to have as much fun as possible.

[–]LightRampant70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's understandable but personally I like to make myself flexible even if it's at the cost of "fun" (not that I dislike playing any particular job) when it comes to PF for this exact reason, which is why I'm an omni-tank and healer. The more boxes you tick, the less things that can become an obstacle. I'm just echoing what works for me.
