Frustrated with ToAU - On to WoG

I've been getting my ass handed to me these last couple of weeks. As most of you know, I've been doing ToAU missions & Assault on a fairly regular basis for the past few months. We're finally progressing to the end of things... or so we thought.

Two weeks ago we finally got to the final ToAU battle against Alex... Since Nain had to sleep, Ashle & I got a pickup group and we tried to take on the big boss and prompt got slapped around a few times... no big deal, we'll get it the next week... or so we thought. We got slapped around hard again the following week. This isn't just a matter of getting killed by that stupid Blue Mage (who cheats... I've never done that much damage on Eyes On Me), it's that Alex cheats as well by spamming so much healing spells...

Assault, we reached First Lieutenant at long last... so we try one of the missions and promptly get killed... no big deal, we got him down to... what... 97%? riiiiiiiiight... and the other missions at this level are just as hard as this, if not harder? ToAU content has been nice compared to CoP... CoP you start hard, then it builds up gradually until you feel like you're fighting an epic battle that you have to go all out to win. However, you know that it only gets harder as it goes on, and you're being built up towards that goal. ToAU on the other hand, has been so stupidly easy that it's a cake walk... right until you're about to finish, then they beat you down for, as far as I can tell, no reason at all, with no explaination as to why the mission(s) before this level were so much easier.

So I'm sick of ToAU. Completely. -.-

Instead, I'll be going off to go do WoG content instead. I've been lazy and haven't caught up with the latest missions since before the previous patch, so it's time to go farm some knots, get some cutscenes, and catch up on the other countries storylines! I haven't done any of Bastok's mission-quests, and I've only done the first Young Griffon storyline for Sandy!

However, it looks like everyone is busy this weekend... Next weekend I'd like to gather some people together and get us all caught up on the WoG missions. If you're interested, send me an in-game /tell! I'll be working on Bastok mission-quests from the start, as well as farming an 108-knot thingie for Windurst and who knows what for Sandy!

(meanwhile, this weekend it's MGS4 time!)
