It being broken for months would lead me to suggest that maybe something should have been done about it before now ?
I dont mind slightly off stats on items, but for missions - come on, thats actually something that is important to people. Lets face it, there are enough people on this site willing to be asshats whenever someone asks a questions, who WILL and DO make rude comments to people who ask basic questions such as this.
Lets say, I need the info on that mission, I have the choice of being mislead via guide, or asking on forums, and lets face it, coming under fire for asking what is, apparently according to many posters, a stupidly obvious question . I have seen it so many times, people insulted because they ask for info on the ffxi main boards
Given the choice of being mislead, or being insulted, I would choose neither, and visit another forum . Especiially when site admins themselves have been known to join in on the unkindness to newer players
http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=3;mid=1202642803122089467;num=15;page=1 is to just tell everyone to 'ignore' new players '
How does that help to further the rep of allah, I wonder. What does that do to let people knoe they can seek help here. I dont deny that sometimes, I want to shout RTFM myself (which would help if the game in UK currently came with a manual, which it doesn't) but for someone just to take the **** out of a request for greater tolerance takes the **** .
