67 has been one rough level. Three days of seeking, a minimum of four hours a day, one single party invite and one party I made. Neither lasted more than two hours. Grand total of 5K XP made.

Total hours seeking: 12 hours.
Total hours XPing: ~4.
XP gained: 5K
XP to level 68: 21K.

Of course the weekend is coming, and the last two weekends I've spent 10-11 hours a day seeking without a single invite or able ot pull a party together, so these stats can only "improve".

I tried (and failed) to pull together a party three times tonight (other people snatching the WHMs up before I could finish asking them). I checked the /search no less than once a minute (for THREE HOURS) trying to catch a healer and tank seeking at the same time. There were four of us seeking when I logged on. The other three got invites, so I did the "...well now they have no choice but invite me..." thing, but of course others started seeking and so they got invites instead of me. Two MNKs, a THF, a DRG, WARs... all invited, me left standing along. Three times I became the last person waiting for an invite, and no one asked me.

Finally, after three hours of tearing my hair out, I get a tell:



And that was just the end of it. I can't put into words how much I hate everyone (myself included). I will never, ever, ever, ever do Dynamis because how the hell would I ever get the XP back that I lost? What's going to happen to me when we hit CoP 6-whatever and die over and over and over again?

I really, really, really hate this game. I seek for 4-5 hours on a weeknight and 10-11 hours on a weekend. I've done this for WEEKS now. And I've gotten a grand total of THREE invites. In three weeks. Fucking shit. What the hell more can I do to get invites? (Besides level the fucking GS, I KNOW, I KNOW.)

I really wish WoW interested me more, because I'd so quit FFXI if I had another option to fill my evenings (I was this close to deleting Thistle when I logged off tonight, my finger was on the button and I wanted to push it, but I figured that would be a bad decision to make on the spur of the moment). Maybe I should look into ... I don't know. I was going to say that City of Heroes game, but that doesn't really interest me much.

RL: Not much better than FFXI. I've spent the last few hours trying to put my damned exercise bike together. There might as well be no instructions for as helpful as they are. Hours spent on it, some pieces impossible to put together alone. And I'm still not done with it.
