High Level's 'AttitudeFollow

I think you can do that at level 65+ :)



Same here. I am always willing to help unless I have plans already or am doing something already. However, HLs like me that have a RL want to just take a break and relax after coming home from work. Remember RL >>> GL. I know it is frustrating to get help, but just be patient. This is just a game.

A good way to approach this is to throw away the "I have to level now" mentalitiy. Take your time and chill. I was level 30 for over a month, and I never complain. I complain a lot more when I die without a raise or mobs not dropping keys or some rare-ex XD

sigh. >< i didn't mean it that way. and you know that. >< i feel semi-misquoted. ><

it's just my observation that by culture, asians may tend to understand teamwork better than americans. sometimes asians overdo it too, and get so mired in teamwork they forget they can do things on their own. so there's always two sides to the coin.

note that i used the word 'tend' once more. it's a tendency, nothing more. a 'seems-like' not a hasty generalization. so to the reader: bah, forget RL nationality. ^^ a player's a player.

i agree with Sschan. well said. ^^

i think a lot of assumptions are made on both sides of the fence. I will forever consider myself a noob because there is always something new to learn in the game, always some pleasant surprise waiting around the corner, or some snake that is just waiting to kick your butt.

IMHO, genkai 1 is the first true make or break phase in the game-then comes AF which is a true brain buster. The reason why i say this, is for the most part, a lot of the prior quests, subjob, ranks 1-3, RSE, kahzam keys etc. can be done solo. The test is when you NEED to actually become part of a group/alliance that all want the same things all at once. A lot of drama happens during this phase becuase you suddenly get immersed in a different organization of mostly random people who mostly are after what they need first (its just a natural thing for a lot of people).

Once AF is complete, it becomes such a great breath of fresh air and this is where most people in the area either a.) become really mean self-important snobs who have no time for "noobs" - (who at one point were noobs too... but have gotten a case of level amnesia) or b.) take the accomplishment as a great feat and take the time to get others along the path. If help is given be thankful if not, it really is not their fault either. Asking for a favor does not require a guaranteed "YES" just because you asked. A lot of people in this range are also willing to take a break from the leveling grind to do fun things too! I enjoy helping others when i can, if i can - as long as the people asking for help arent self-centered egotistical maniacs who think too much of themselves. I asked for help on things that i needed help for, and when i dont get it, i do other stuff... the world offers soooo much to do that one brick wall will not stop me.

just as in any level range, there are good and bad apples. There will always be jerks and saints in any range level.

I also think that although help may or may not be offered in whatever it is that needs to be done, it might be a good exercise for new players to experience getting by without the power levels(this tends to create non voking WARS, non healing mages, non dispeling RDMs, stingy RNGs, overnuking BLMs etc), without the super high levels killing all the mobs for them, feel the frustration of doing quests that seem impossible but then coming out of it with such a feeling of satisfaction when they are done. The quests and missions are a great EXPERIENCE.

the bottom line, is that all things are possible if enough time and effort is put into your goal. Learning your chosen job is the most important thing and attitude, be it good or bad, creates a reputation on the server- and THAT goes a long way.
