NO NO NO NO NO.

This is the exact fucking opposite of what needs to be done here. All you're teaching him/her is that if people bitch enough about his gear someone else will buy it for him. What a terrible lesson.

This is what Boi does.

I didn't know what gear macros were as a level 65~ warrior. If no one teaches you, its impossible to learn.

Of course now is a much different story, but everyone had to start somewhere. A large part of learning is not only having a patient teacher, but also a willing student. The subject of this flame is not only a member of a linkshell with people who know better, but was addressed in two parties (at least) within a week or each other where people more or less said "You really need to learn what a corsair's responsibility is" and now she's wearing the fact she's ignorant of her role as a badge of pride in her bazaar comment.

Maybe in two years she'll know better, but if she's acting like a brat, she's going to be treated like one, for sure.

Don't worry, I had DRG30 WAR52 and PLD63 before I learned wtf macros were. And that was from me going onto Alla and searching "macros". I didn't have a half way decent teacher until I got to Quetz. <3

Keep it on topic please.

I just got done partying with a Corsair with this kind of attitude that Ciara has. However, he made himself very useful and did a great 4 cycle rotation and pulled for the xp pt. He also clearly stated that he doesn't WS at all or DD, but that worked out great because we just needed someone to pull and buff. The reason this Corsair didn't bother to gear himself up properly was because of the fact that he had a high level Thief with Skadi gear etc. He didn't want to waste gil on the mid levels and such because he didn't have the gil to support the DD side of Corsair.

Overall, leveling a new job (BLU) doesn't have the best invites, but I take the time to go learn all my spells before I go find a pt. I know that most spells are useless, but I take the time to go learn it. I understand that sometimes it takes me hours to learn one stupid spell, but hey that's part of a BLU's job.

In closing, there has always been these jobs that slide by with gimp gear and people that don't want to put the time or effort into it like some of the other jobs. BRD has always been one of those jobs that people can slide by with just playing naked and a horn. COR is the new job that joins those ranks. Why do they slide by? Because they're buffing jobs that are too few and far inbetween to find. Supply and demand.

You make some valid points but you're missing the important ones. Ciara /didn't/ pull, /didn't/ buff appropriately, and /didn't/ do her job. The COR you had sounds like he was doing the support side of things, which is fine. Not knowing what your rolls do, not knowing which to use and generally being a leech and waste of slot is what Ciara did. If your guy was doing his job as support and successfully contributing, they weren't exactly the same.

Also, semi-bullet-point: The reason brd gets away with potentially being naked is because it requires a large amount of skill-gear that just doesn't exist before mid-game to break tiers. A bard can sing min/mad in the dunes and get mostly the same performance with or without gear. A corsair who doesn't know what to stop rolling because of lucky numbers will never do better than a corsair who knows better.

It's true that my COR knew what he was doing, but I have higher expectations of people that play a job. Yes, Ciara should know what her lucky numbers are and unlucky numbers are. Yes, she needs way better gear in general for her COR. You could also say the same of a ton of jobs that people play that don't know what to do with them. For example, I've met BLM's that don't know what to cast for some MB's and THF's that don't know how to seperate SATA. I've also ran into tons of random DD jobs that aren't geared properly or know what the best gear they should wear at that level.

However, I do understand that knowing a lucky and unlucky number is pretty easy considering that it's scrolling across the screen when you highlight it. Is she a good player? Obviously not. Are there tons more out there? Sure is. If you want some funny screenshots go to BG forums and see some Rampages for 60 damage lol.

Overall, I appreciate the warning since I'm leveling my BLU to avoid a crappy player.

Ciar's been threatening in her lschat to pay $2000 to hack qcdn btw. I want to see her do it for the laughs.(cause backups couldn't possibly exist amirite?

 

[Aethyr]

Hmm

Can't afford Evoker's Roll but can buy a 40k flower for her hair? Something's not right here. Or she got a nice loan. Thoughts?

She's gotta look nice for her sugar daddy!

LOL nice find Aethyr!

Funny and sad at the same time.

Screenshots of further corroboration of this would be awesome and hysterical.

 

[Raesvelg]

I recall when I was hitting level 14 or so WAR, farming for my damn Warrior's Belt +1.

Not because I was all crazy for HQ gear, or because I thought that the extra VIT would make that much of a difference.

But because I wanted it, and it would last me for a good long while. Which it did.

I still have it, actually. I dust it off every now and then for lowbie jobs and level-capped duties.

With one arguable exception, nobody has ever handed me anything in this game, and that arguable exception was someone who I gave quite a bit to without expecting anything in return, who gave me a bit of gil when I needed it.

So frankly, I consider that to be a fair trade.

I spent hours and hours farming various things. I mined. I harvested. I gardened.

I never fished, because it was boring as fuck, but that's beside the point.

That aforementioned time, when I needed a bit of gil?

Leveling COR. I'd run out of money for bullets, and finding the time to farm was difficult. I leveled the job as COR/RNG for the most part, and I did decent damage, all things considered.

Ironically, these days I'm pretty much exclusively COR/WHM, and my gun is rarely drawn in anger. But at least my Marksmanship is capped, and I still retain gear for the purpose of a /RNG set.

So yes, to reiterate what other people have said, if you think making gil to properly gear your jobs is boring, then maybe this isn't the game for you.

Alternately of course, you could just take the route that a wide variety of people have taken, and suck e-cock for your e-money.

 

[Myrrh]

suck e-cock for your e-money.

She has apparently gone this route. Which is sad cause now she thinks that she can gear play her jobs however she wants and if someone bitches at her again she'll just get some more gil to spend stupidly.

It's just sad that some people don't have take pride in what they do. What's worse is now she this whole thing as a joke and instead of working towards bettering herself she just sucked some moron off. I feel sorry for the stupid fuck who gave her gil.

Sounds about right. If her LS is keeping her sheltered from the big mean world, she's basically useless to everyone, including the shell strapped down with a fail!cor.

Princess syndrome, hugboxes, etc. Go someplace where people don't mind if you suck and delude yourself into thinking you're okay and everyone who disagrees is a "professional" player.

I use fire pokemon against water types. I don't care if its not very effective, I'm not a professional player like some of you people.

 

[LadyKiKi]

Wow the forum changed! I thought it was hacked by this $2000 offer.

She said $200 in the LS, not $2,000 lol. We had some sort of huge discussion with this in our shell with her the other day. Everyone in the shell was pretty much telling her it's not worth the aggravation, and some already made her aware that there's back-ups and what not, and that it's rather childish to close down a whole forum just because you're upset that some people gave you constructive criticism.

There's always room to improve. Yes, she did buy her evoker's roll, or at least that's what she told us, at least she bought it after the incident, so no worries there. I have no clue where she got all the extra gil from though, someone must've been generous enough to give her some money.

Anyway, I think we all get the point now about one person being gimped at that one point in time and it being pointed out to the public.

Give it a month, or a few, and she will learn and improve her playing habits, hopefully. ^^

 

[Romper]

Probably sucked some dudes e-dick for the corsage.

200 or 2000 dollar to hack QCDN?

I'd bet my cookies on her spending some of that dollari on those sweet sugardaddies that keep sending us those cryptic tells.

[Blazeoffury]

would have outright said, in party, right in front of her, "This corsair fucking blows, replace her with anything. Even a Pup will do better than her

That should have happened. 30 or more levels ago, it should have happened... I really need to start partying again.
