Got plenty of stuff done with my Marauder class today. Reached Level 16/17, and completed the first three guildhests without any deaths.Gonna save the fourth one when I work on my Gladiator class. Currently working on Conjurer (at Level 10) and will take that through the guildhests as well and up to Level 15. As for when I'll finally enter a dungeon as a Tank, I'm gonna wait until I hit Level 18 Marauder. Maim might actually come in handy. May God have mercy on those who will be in my party
MRD/WAR is a masterclass enjoy it! Also overpower is your friend while tanking put it to good use
Also lvl your GLAD to 26 or so for provoke. WAR > PLD

Guildhest first time bonus is per class. You should do all guildhests on all classes. That's for xp though, if you want to wait until you level GLD to see it that's ok too I guess, but otherwise no reason to keep guildhests.
Maim isn't particularily important when tanking. It makes dungeons slightly faster by letting you do more damage/threat, but that's about it really, it only becomes relevant once you unlock the main combo chains with storm's eye/path. You can do dungeons as soon as you get overpower, which iirc is like at lvl 12 so before the first dungeon anyway. Just make sure to do the lvl 15 quest for Tomahawk, it's a great ability to pull with.
Tanking dungeons is otherwise fairly simple early on, just tomahawk a mob, then overpower every mobs a couple of times, then do your normal stuff on the mob that's being DPSed and that about sums it up. You can use cooldowns when you feel they're needed but early on they're not. It gets more interesting as you level up but low level tanking is pretty much done with only this.
If you plan to play Warrior, you'll need GLD to 15 for the lvl 30 quest, but really you want it to 22 for Provoke which is a must for endgame, and you'll probably want to level pugilist a bit to get a few of the cross class skills there(second wind, internal release and feather foot are all kinda decent). If you want to play paladin, you'll want conjurer to 15 instead.

I blame the Fat Cat for all this rmt funny business.
Hey all the Whiskas ain't cheap.

may my giant lalafell reign eternal.

That's quite a lot. I get maybe one message per week (Shiva).
edit: Whoops, quoted the wrong person. It's directed at the post with the screen.
Gil spam for me tends to be worse during the off-peak hours after almost everyone has logged out. I get scattered messages in the evening (is Mist ward 1 considered a high pop area? That's where I always am), but once it gets around midnight things just escalate to a crazy degree.
Unrelated, but I wish there was a way to queue for trial roulette except for whatever's bright. I need like 1500 sold, but bonus fishing just results in getting dropped into light farms.

Square-Enix isn't actively do anything about that. In order to get around the /tell limit, the gil sellers have resorted to just paying for more accounts, which they can also use to farm gil, in order to spam people more efficiently. It isn't hard to find these guys even without the expanded ability an admin would have. Simply put, Square-Enix is getting paid by these people and don't really give a fuck if people are getting 5 tells a minute. The Japanese branch doesn't care because it isn't really affecting their servers, either people don't buy gil there or they are actually doing their job and deleting their accounts. The "were waiting for long periods of time to see where the gil is going" idea is bullshit. Stopping the activity at the source makes more sense instead of allowing the illegal activity to continue just so you can catch someone spending real money in order to pay for a grossly overpriced ingame house that they lied about.
The gil spam is getting ridiculous I get several tells every minute.
There's probably a script they use that messages everyone online on the server? So after people log out you come around more often for their tells.

Ah yes. I was wondering what would break first. Your spirit. Or your body.
Still have a blist macro
Fuck spam.
Also continuing the memory of 1.0 Lodestone.
The first FFXIV Player Poll Results Page is a blast from the past. This was the poll YoshiP immediately put out to players following his introduction to the dev group. Check these answers.
Also the titanic of questions back then:
I just delete a random name every so often from the list. Seems to work.

6. What is your biggest expectation for the newly restructured development team?
7. Which of the following issues you would like to see addressed first? (Choose only one)
8. Which of the following would you like to see implemented first? (Choose only one)
Also the titanic of questions back then:
11. Would you welcome changes to FINAL FANTASY XIV that would drastically alter the rules already set in Eorzea?
It seems this question started a wave of panic among players about whether or not character data would potentially be wiped. For the definitive answer on that, please see my response to a player's letter below. As for the results, 85% of players answered in the affirmative. This is something that will be in the forefront of my mind when making decisions concerning future updates to the game. I promise to do everything in my power to address as many of the players' demands and desires as I can.
Blacklisting stopped being terribly effective for me a month or two ago, I think. I'm not really getting repeat tells from the same character; the current strategy seems to be single-use characters that spam once and vanish. I rarely get gil spammer friend requests anymore because they don't care about being blisted anymore.
or I'm so unlikable even gil spammers don't want to be my friend.

You are missing out on some great opportunities.
No, I will not invest in Chosen One Mutual Funds.

I swear the only reason the G3 Thanalan soil market is so stable is because it's such a long walk from an aetheryte. Sad.
Are we supposed to trust finance advice from someone that's gonna end this week one poetic short of the tome weapon?

First DRG with tome weapon in FC, truly the chosen one. Teach me your stock tips.

We should just stand in there for 10 minutes listening to Answers before doing anything.
EDIT - And Team GT?! Who agreed on that
We should be Team Saved by the Bell. You can be AC Slater. Moara would be Jessie cause she ends up with AC. Skoje is a Lisa for sure. Kingtut is totally a party girl, so he's Kelly. V'rius is the Principle. Tirazel is Screech. Korra is the biker girl who appeared for a season. I used to use a brick-like cellphone, so I get to be Zack
And I know all the words to Zack Attack's classic - Friends Forever.You don't get to hear the rest of the song unless you phase change.

The only issue with that is the song is boring until at least phase 2. And I think our runs are forever linked with gametrailers at this point.

i went the trip dash route, but not sure if works since servers went down last night
Alternatively, making controller players do it is also really irritating. Just saying.
You can fix using a controller. I can't fix being unable to use markers while casting.
Just do the pre-mark method then.
Pubbies don't understand what "go straight across" means.
Gosh, T9 with western players is such a pain in the butt.
Had a pretty bad DF story dungeon. Healer was scholar and didn't seem to know to handle that class yet. She kept yelling at me I wasn't helping with the healing but I'm a summoner. There is only so much I can do lol. We died 3 times at the boss and tank was about to ragequit. Had to resurrect the tank twice during the try we won haha.
The obvious solution is to constantly generate an aura of incompetence and confusion so nobody asks you to do anything. This works regardless of control method or in-game job.
Being successful is suffering.
