By the looks of it, by the time "the balloon pops" all our mages will have dalmaticas + our BSTS adaman hauberks lol. Zenmetsu wont dissapear anytime soon.
But how many of them will people still want to play alongside with?
What difference will it make when things go south, or if your current characters gets banned? You can have the greatest gear in-game, but if you're an a$$, it won't matter. It's like I said with the polished **** comment. I'd rather play alongside a person who's really cool and has average gear, than a person who has the best gear, but a total d!ck.
Shigaro was once apart of your shell wasn't he? He had a lot of cool gear. But his character ended up banned for using hacks. All that progress and equipment went bye-bye.
Omfg had a lot of cool gear when he played his Dragoon, and his Ninja. But that didn't really change people's opinions about him. He still was kicked from nearly every linkshell he was apart of. He wasn't shown any quarter because of his gear. He couldn't even manage to stay in a social LS too long before being given the boot. Gear is important, but it takes more than that to be successful in this game. You have to be able to work with everyone on some level. Everyone has their enemies, but your shell is alienating itself from nearly the entire community.
By going out of your way to get that gear, you're managing to **** a lot of people off. Which will come back to haunt you in the end.
Karma has a real funny way of playing out, even in-game. By the way, whatever did happen to your original character? Didn't you play as a galka before?

Didnt anyone pick up on the fact that Erkaan is actually refreshing his page every 5 seconds to see if anyones responded? He complains that we have no lives so we can respond to w/e has been posted and yet hes sat there with his finger on the refresh button? Who is the one without a life???
Yeah, but he's definately got you people pegged. No denying that. The grandma line was just golden, lol.
People skills take precedence over gear in this game. It is a community driven game after all. What if it isn't just Nanoface the next time? What if it's Nano, plus 1-2 other linkshells?
Don't you think that if Zenmetsu used a bit more tact in dealing with other people, and keeping their mouth shut on certain subjects, that they wouldn't have to endure so much backlash on the boards? C'mon now. You reap what you sow. Haven't you learned that by now?
