Ok, Most people on this server know who I am, or has heard of me. This topic may or may not have any bearing what so ever but if it changes one person's view then it did it's job. I really didn't want to post this at all, but after a weekend of really just pissy people it warrants a posting. If you want to rate me down so be it. Some of these topics have been covered before, etc. I will not give names as I dont' want to ruin anyone's rep.
Well this weekend was my weekend to be nice to stranger day. I mean I helped just about anyone that asked for it or I see someone screaming in Jueno for help...within my power I could do it.
Sunday, someone was shouting for help with Rank 5, just the Castle Oz part, and I was like ok, that's fine I'll help since I can do it with my eyes closed. now this mage had no map and I saw him shouting for a good 30 minutes. As most people know that there are some yagudo's that will hit a mage very hard while in the cut scenes next to the doors, so that means death...Well we get to the magicite and I noticed there was another higher level helping someone out as well. Well while the two younger level mages were in a cut scene I struck up a convo with the blm level ?? but had full AF so I know he was 60+, and could DII (warp II) because my mage that was with me forgot his instant warp Scroll. I was like ok whatever, so I was trying to help him out by finding him one. this is how our converstion went.
me-hey what's up
Blm-nothing much just doing rank 5 for him
Me-cool you on your last part
blm-nope gotta do davoi
me-cool at least your almost done
blm-yep then off to level again
me-hey can you do me a favor, can you DII this mage for 2k
blm-NO, So F%%k off you stupid azz noob
me-??
Now I know a lot of mages would love to give a DII for 2k. Now keep in mind I was paying, just to help out a lower level. Did the blm have to do it no, but did this warrant a lip lashing-Hell No..a simple no would have worked. Now when the mage I was helping asked, hey could you help me out of here since we can't find a DII, I was like sure. He did ask what the blm said. I lied and told him that he didn't speak any english. Now I shouldn't have lied about the blm but I want the rdm I was helping have faith that there are still good people out there. Maybe I caught this blm on a bad day but come on now.
Now what I want to say is BE nice god dang it. Stop acting like your an ******* with a stick so far up your azz that we can see it coming out your mouth. Use the Golden Rule, not the I'll use you rule.
Topic 2 that has been really really bothering me. This I have posted in other forums as well. Everyone knows the basic party set-up or one everyone wants.. Pld or nin, ranger, DD, whm, blm, rdm....Now this brings me to my topic. GUYS there are way to many other combos out there, that work just as good if not better so stop waiting on certain people to show up and complaining that you can't form parties. For example if you don't have a ranger take a thf, neither of those take another DD. No tanks take a war/nin. have the other DD voke off the war/nin to get his shadows up, etc. Yea we know that everyone wants the Distortion SC but there are others out there. So what you get 200xp per kill and only get a chain 3, and have to rest instead of getting chain 4 and having to rest after that.. Now is that better then not getting any xp at all, and just complaining.
TOPIC 3-If you haven't leveled a certian job to a certain level and know the struggles of this then don't say a word about it. I am sick and tired of hearing about people saying this and that about a job to come to find out that they haven't even leveled it or opened it. Stop saying a certian jobs sucks...SE made the game balanced that every job is needed and has it's strengths and weakness. Most of the time it's the player that makes or breaks the job. I have seen some really aweful players that make the job look bad and two days later that job is totally uber because that player knows what to do.
Topic 4-teach the newbies how to play. I wanted to test something out this weekend on my mule. I wanted to see if there were any good people out there, so I staged a set-up and I shouted why won't this person talk to me, talking to an NPC. I also shouted it took me over 30 minutes to learn to move. Upon instantly I had 4 people helping me, but two other people were just down right rude. Now I was at the Sandy AH and I know there are a lot of different level people out there.
Newbie-someone that doesn't know a lot but is willing to learn.
Noob-someone that thinks he knows everything but in reality doesn't know ****, and will not learn.
Basically we are in a community here people. Stop trying to Lie, cheat, and steal your way to the top. You will fall. Help others out when you can and you will be greatly rewarded...Maybe not today but soon.
