This game has always had more retards than elite players. Just because your not part of the former anymore doesn't mean its right to preech from the latter.
Haven't we all been there as well?
Theres going to come a time when you are part of neither and at that point you will be better than them all. At that point you wont complain, you'll just understand.

I agree completely.

Newb = New player that is eager to learn from the rest of us who are more experienced.
Noob = New player that is convinved they know everything cause they RULED at FF 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
How to handle the two?
Answer questions for Newbs, however simple and stupid they may be, without poking fun or laughing because they don't know how to run or talk in /tells. Granted, the majority of their problems are simply RtFM problems, but at least they don't act like they know what they are doing when they don't.
Noobs on the other hand get dealt with. If you are seasoned Flameboard poster, you know what this means and need no explanation.

You left out two and five...
Too bad three for the DS was cancelled.
I left em out on purpose because our noob that I speak of is so horribly sheltered, he is under the impression that you can't get them in english. And we all know, anything a Noob can't do is impossible.

I'm sure you have never had that opinion of yourself. Do you think people you call retards think of themself as retards?
:wink:
Why would I call a someone new, a retard?
"THIS GUY JUST STARTED THE GAME 5 MINUTES AGO AND HE DOESN"T KNOW WHAT A SUBJOB IS!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A FUCKIN RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!"
See? Doesn't exactly make sense.

Yup. You could also say it like this.
OMFG THE GUY JUST STARTED TWO MONTHS AGO IS LEVEL 50 AND HE CAN'T GET 5,000 XP PER HOUR, WHAT A FUCKING RETARD!!!!!!

Except exp is dependent on 5 others, so for all you know he can be a bomb ass player but just gets shitty parties(which are more common in the 50's). Wait... is 5k an hour even possible at Lv 50?
Dude, cubswoo i forgot to change it ok? I use the willpower torque for soloing with a whm sub so just cause i fucked up once, don't fucking attack me. By the way you could have told me and i would have changed it immediately. thanks for the flame.
I think "Learning Disability sounds funnier than "Retard".
It also makes the person saying it sound smarter.
and no, I'm not trying to be PC. It's kinda like calling someone a whore or a slut. It would sound so much funnier if you say Hooker or Prostitute.
Maybe it's just the sound of the word. IDK. I like some words much better than others even if they are Synonyms.
Examples:
Ignorant > Stupid
Ecstatic > Happy
Assanine > Irritating
Deceased > Dead
Chuckle > Laugh
Anal Retentive > Perfectionist... >.>
That last one has absolutely nothing to do with me.... :roll:

I don't want people to "think" I'm smart. I want them to figure it out for themselves. 
Doesn't really matter to me anyway though. =P

by level 50, i expect everyone in the party to be able to skillchain, have at least average gear for their level, NQ armor all around, maybe a sniper or astral, don't need 2, most mobs are still low eva with sushi.
i expect the whm and rdm to have haste on at least the tank and one other melee, maybe all the melee if things are going well. rdm should slow, para, blind, bio/dia, refresh everyone in turn, if they are still meleeing that shouldn't be a reason to slack on thier job.
the 2 melee should be able to SC, with an MB from the BLM.
with all of these things happening, a party with average equipped players will pull 3k an hour. with greatly equipped players you can get 4-5k an hour.
at 41 i picked up a rank 2 whm and rdm (whose sub was one lvl gimped so i was scared). the rest of the party was veterans from my LS, or i had seen them around. we pulled 4.8k first hour, 4.5 cause of some afks second hour. i finshed that party 1k till 45.
i ran out of paralyze tools that party, so i asked the rdm if he could pick up para(i was doing para slow blind) he quickly put that first, because he noticed i was casting paralyze first. i guess he assumed para was important spell just by seeing what i was doing.
that is what "Skill" is, noticing things like that. i got haste at begining of fight, if we ended up having an extra tough mob, i would get another haste.
this is coming from rank 2's first jobs. and you are telling me rank 5 "Veterans" in the 50's can't figure simple shit like this out?
i came back to NIN after months of not playing it, first time i ever used NI as NIN and i easily learned to count to 4, instead of 3. NIN might take the most "Skill" in this game, and i tanked for 15 min with a glare on my tv that only allowed me to see my chat log. now i've noticed i pretty much only look at log, but i peek up to make sure hate is on me cause i have all filters on for NIN, and also to see the Utsusemi icon. it isn't that hard, doesn't take much "skill".
I also xp'd partygirls bard once when she was lvl 74, we pulled 6k an hour in a regular party set up on golems. first time ii ever used brd in xp, i made macro's for all the gear swaps bards do, the basic songs, got a request from the nin for what songs he wanted to see when and we went along at a good pace. not that hard.
people just need to get thier heads out of their asses.

I love Meeze post'. That is the key. Especially the last part, "... get their head outa their asses ...".
I think I'm a pretty good white mage, and every time I start a new job to level, I have a ton of questions for my ls mates. If they can't answer something, I'll do a /sea all of lvl 75's that level and send them a /tel, whether I know them or not. I have found while lvl 75's are busy a lot, they will take the time to chat with you and help you better yourself. Hell I know I do. I want the up and coming white mages to be great, not gimped.
I believe my biggest flaw is, I'm level 75 and I still get lost all the time. There are certain places I know like the back of my hand, but I don't know why there are just others that I draw a blank on even if I'm been there a ton of times.
