man Square Enix has gotten to you hasnt it?
"I want to get on my video game so I can simulate Waiting!!" If this is your idea of brilliant video game programming, have fun, but there's really no need for you to apologize for my inability to understand such a basic concept.

I heard the DMV came out with a new wait-in-line simulator called "Saturday at the Department" where the point of the game is to try to maintain your place in line without cutting or getting cut. It's really fun for people who like lines.

Hi, just a thought...
but does this mean we don't have to wait in line for Kirin anymore? It's the same basic principle isn't it?

I love how you guys take exemples out of the most inadequate places.

So basically if there was such a thing as waiting for HNM to pop
(which by the way when the game came out in japan, and for
one whole year the JP players did it like that, first come first go.
When the NA's started playing that all went down to the shits, so
dont tell me it cant work, because it did for over a year)
if there was a line at HNM pop, and linkshells had been waiting for
lets say 2-3 days, and you cut in line... Well my friend, there would
be crazy MPK going on, would be spike flail times 10.

I'm really not bitching, since i can care less if you cut in line or not.
I just like a good debate here & there.

I'm fine with people cutting line, but they better not cry when people show courtesy in other place in this game like NM camp and they get screwed :D

Okay, obviously some of you guys are hijackers (assholes =p)
so let me recap the original point of this thread.

Talisin cut in line to go first in the BCNM for the quest, some random
dude came here and asked why, people flamed him because they
think its idiotic to wait as a first come first go basis.
In the meantime some of us who think waiting in line is not only
a polite thing to do, but only fair for others even though its a waste.

Then we went into a few points as to why its idiotic to wait and why not.

This thread isnt really about how rude tal might have been, or who will get kicked out
of ckd for cutting in line. Lets be realistic here, nothing really changes
anything and i'm sure people have already forgotten about what
happened. So it makes no difference really, i dont think any of us
here give a shit if you in line or not, but just for a conversations sake.

Mikey, you're exemple really doesnt fit this occasion, but i do understand
what you are saying, even though if you did cut in line in you're
example, you wouldnt get fired, but if i was in that line, i'd make sure
that you wouldnt be able to walk after you came out of that bathroom.

It might seem silly to wait, but if everyone else is waiting in line and you
cut, not only you're making them wait longer, you are only putting more
wood into the fire. I heard someone say in these boards once that we
NA's should team up and be more of a family and stick together, but
that would never happen if there isnt a share of respect amongst us all.

Do what you want of course, its just my thoughs on the situation.


so basically kioto, your saying if i skipped you in line to the bathroom, you'd break my legs.. LOL okay...
Well at least i got to take my massive shit..


Look the empire state building thing is an example. Thats all you aren't really looking at the core of what i'm trying to say.. I'll break it down. Why create a quest that seems so interesting with such narrow options. Why couldn't they do this in multiple areas at least. you know what i mean.



Also pirato you quoted whisp wrong...
He also thinks its absurd to have a line in game.

This thread will inevitably turn into a "Japanese are more courteous, Japanese are fairer, and Americans are rude, and Americans have ruined this game, and Japanese cooperate with each other, and Americans just bicker and quarrel with each other" thread.

Oh no, i agree with you on that.
The whole line waiting is pretty stupid on my opinion.
SE screwed up big time on that, no doubt about that.

But once again, the point is that people who ARE actually waiting,
which is the majority, will get mad at others who decide to cut in line.

And Mikey, i wouldnt actually break you're legs, just so you know.




but others would =p

Now 3-man parties can enter the battlefield. I went at lunch today and shouted to that effect, and we all started forming 3-man ptys with the people directly in front or behind us in line. Made everything alot faster, and again it was good to see the collaborative effort and courtesy of it all. I got it done, now wearing my signal perl, along with many others.

There are efforts in this game that succeed, and some that fall apart due to selfish and/or backward acts of certain indiviuals. This event doesnt have any huge importance, but it does demonstrate that while some utilize common courtesy and understanding to improve effort and organization (which in turn help build and boost comradery), others derail such great opportunities to show the better sides of our community. Do unto others is indeed the appropriate phrase.

So no, i dont think SE screwed up bigtime on this one. It gave us the chance to show what were capable of ourselves. And what was made of that is on noone but us.

Nahh hobbles. I'm really nice to people outside of this game. But just like minsty said. I'd probably cut in line because of the whole retarded design flaw.
