Well you're correct about one thing, and if short, one-or-two-paragraph threads are "not worth reading," then your farcical rant of a paper, which boasts only about as much content as one of those aforementioned posts but drags itself out fifty-fold, must be the apex of "not worth reading."

The OP starts with unfounded assertions and then expect them to be taken seriously?
Most?
Really? Evidence?
Most players?
How do you know this?
Gear is not important - false.
Skill is very important - true.
Why would the difference be minuscule for something that requires much time, effort and skill?
Nerdy doesn't mean detached from reality.
Will not increase ***** size - correct
No one cares - false, people care for nerdy reasons.
I've heard many say it's the worst but not for the reason you say.
You seem to have the idea that players think this game is all about the gears.
Why do you say that?

No matter what, you're going to miss ~5% of the time. When you're WSing every few seconds, the 5% can either build up and happen in strings or never occur. Unless you're getting below I think 55% Acc on EPs, you're capped ACC for WSs.

"The Sum of all Wah" (cliff notes)
Chapter 1.
Boo-Hoo! People make fun of me on the internet, my butt hurts sooooo baaaaad!
I. I suck at my job because I don't feel like putting any effort into playing it correctly and/or getting good gear and I'd rather have everything handed to me!
II. I blame everyone for everything and accuse everyone of cheating; There's no way they could possibly get those things before ME!!!
Chapter 2.
I fail at life!
I. People ignore me, no one cares about me or what I have to say, even though it's the most important information EVER!
II. I want attention because mommy and daddy didn't love me enough....actually no one could ever love me as much as i NEED them to!
III. I hate everyone, yet I need them to accept me!
Chapter 3.
I'll have my revenge!
I. Read my post!
II. Feel sorry for me yet? Anyone....?

Perhaps, but there was once a time when 100+ cooking skill was popular with the ladies. There wound up being a lot of fat mithras in my old linkshell.

It did? I thought it proved that you need to be of a high skill level, and have near top notch gear? Maybe others have seen NQ Scorp Harness Purple Belt Monks without Destroyers or any supertank gear gettin' it done, but that hasn't been my experience.

This brings a whole new meaning to "One Inch Punch".
In reagrds to the actual document/rant/post-thing... I don't even know what to say :(
I'm not sure which is more sad: basing your self worth on FFXI accomplishments, or basing your self worth on your ***** size and the ability to "get laid".

I never understood the people who say something along the lines of "People who play FFXI are nerds and never get laid so I quit. I have played for 5 years and I can't take it anymore." Do they not realize that they play FFXI too? So unless thier rant was to call themselves out for being a nerd and never getting laid...what's the point for saying things like that?

You know, I personally feel pretty bad for the OP.
I mean, if you click on the link, he has put some decent thought into the format (read: boldand underlined), and has a good grasp of vocabulary.
He obviously put a lot of time into this "manifesto", now he has to spend the rest of his days knowing his attempt at an accomplishment was thwarted by the fact that THIS IS A GAME, GOOD LORD, WHO THE HELL CARES.
I shed a tear when I read my friend's farewell about how FFXI ruined his life, I read maybe four sentences out of that crap.

Because you suck. You really think most players who pick on your crappy gear buy gil?
If everyone buys gil then why are 80% of people invited to my parties wearing the worst **** I've ever seen? It's not hard to make money in this game and over time it's easy to build up enough gil to gear any job well.
The rest of your rant I couldn't be bothered to read because it's all written in this annoying whiny tone and it's 6 pages long.
The OP wrote:
Arguing about the maths of gear blah blah is the nerdiest thing possible, get a grip on realitiy..
So in this nerdy sliding scale, where does "creating a /wrist emo google document outlining all your whiniy complaints fit in?
