READ THE DAMN STICKIES!!!





now we need this to get stickied.

Should probably change the slogan to "Read the damn FAQ!!!" Just in case new users sit there and think, "what's a sticky?"

so ummm...What's a FAQ?

JK, thought I'd throw it out there.

Seriously though, it's sound advise but I'm afraid that some people may not have read the sticky close enough to have their questions answered well enough, or are just to lazy to read through mountains of text no matter how useful it is. Then there are those that just don't have the time.

If it bothers you then just skip the post, 9x out of 10 the tell is in the thread subject. this sort of thing happens on almost every forum of any type and there is just no effective way of fixing apathy.

Some people expect a personalized answer each and every time. Its so much easier to be lazy and wait for somebody to help after all . . .
I've decided I'll help when I feel like it and point them at the sticky when appropriate. Sarcastically or rudely telling them to read the *^%$# sticky just generates bad blood. I won't do that anymore. . . much . . .

It does help though (reading the sticky that is). I had a question about taming pets (like I want to tame a specific pet but it's higher in level can I have someone else take the beating while I tame type of thing)... definitely in the FAQ...

I love it. Woo!

I still have the FAQ under my favorites for a quick reference for IF I might need to double check something. As for answering "ZOMG NEWB" questions..... I get a kick out of some of the replies they get. I dont even have to answer.
