I agree with what you say. I just get annoyed by people in the game who act like they're the shit and so damn good at a game that ain't so hard; which agrees with competency making good players in MMOs. I hate when they act like they're the shit because they have a higher level job than you, that alone is not enough, or just because they've participated in endgame, that alone is not enough. Anyone can half ass their way all the way up. Yeah equipment makes it work, but you gotta know what kind of equipment to wear right? It's also about SATAing. I hated partying with so many slow THFs, seeing the sata partner go down to health as low as 200, or even red. I hate when tanks don't even get in front of the THF good enough, or when people can't Provoke fast enough, or when pullers pull links too often, or when BLMs don't help heal when the party is obviously in danger of wiping, when I see monks wear Aikido Koshita, when I see DRKs using Gsword too much over Scythe when it's not needed for skillchains, when I see people with nothing but acc equipment, when people use Sushi even at dunes, the list goes on. When people at least know what they're doing for their role and do it right, then you're good. You don't gotta have all the most expensive equipment ever. :/Runekane said:Xean: Skill = x in an MMO, don't try pulling that shit on other people man. COMPETENT PEOPLE make good MMO players. But skill? Come on. Are you telling me because you push a button differently than someone else, that's why you get consistent 400-500 raging fists? The equipment does that work, if I'm not mistaken.
And as my attempt to be black ONLY to aggrieve this Xean guy:
reacherous Johnson Love
Blam!
This makes me ROFLMFAO while eating pancakes.Xean said:
And what makes you think the majority does not know which equip to use? You think you're the only one who frequents alla/killing ifrit? Maybe not everyone can afford the kind of equip most have. I wont judge anyone by what they have, as long as they can play their role. You stand there and talk about skill yet you here again you bash those with equip you find unacceptable.Xean said:
That should have been "Treacherous Johnson Love", the T got left out because I failed copy/paste in school. :/
Time at hand? Where do you get off getting that? You do realize I take this kind of attitude to players like you right? I can't carry this attitude with me all day when I have a LS that gathered in a number of new players to help them out with the game and it's party-oriented objectives. Unimpressive is the lot of MNKs doing 100-300. You're being stupid assuming that I assume, cuz I know of the other Monks who've done good. Does that bother me? No. I'm not gonna be bothered knowing that was my first job at the time; I didn't have all the [expensive] gear I wanted. If you even read what I've been saying is that I like to know that someone knows their role and intends to do well at it. I also said you don't have to have the most expensive gear to know what you're doing. How about you take some time to read? :/ Other MNKs have done really good at their job, but a majority that I've partied with at that level haven't. If you wanna try, go right ahead. I bear no shame if you do, or at least equal it lol, that was my first job, I wasn't as rich as I'd like to be to have everything I wanted, but at least I got what was good for me with what I did have. "OMG no Ochiudo Kote noob" that's right I didn't have that, and my numbers were still real. Again, read what I say. A fraud? A fraud at what? Nothin.Dragon Ryder said:
You're actually agreeing with me by saying this. :/ It's sad enough to see people can't do something so obvious right in this game. You're trying to sound as if this is probably the only game I played, but you're wrong thinking that; don't even try to compare to the number of games I've played that can demand more out of a player. You too tried to disregard my last post too, but that failed. This whole skill thing is the reason players (not exactly on this forum, but the server) are annoying acting like they're better at this game for stupid, evidentless reasons.Runekane said:

Runekane said:Of course I agree with you on there is no skill involved in MMO's, lol. What's the problem here? I was actually talking to Dragon "talking shit" to you about how much more uber he is than you, not talking about you. You, I don't have a problem with.
About the "not needing the most expensive gear" thing, I had an argument with our favorite flameboard prima-donna Vang about "econimcal gear options" for the Ranger who isn't uber rich, with him getting outright insulted that me, a BLM, would have anything to say about a ranger because "you've never played it", even though crunching numbers really isn't that difficult. Gear's nice and all, but sometimes the millions upon millions of gil needed to upgrade a stat by one or two points just isn't worth it for those of us who have time to spend on things outside of the game.
Example: If I had a choice of crafting for 5 straight hours to be able to afford a item that gave me +4 strength, or I could spend two to ten times to be able to afford a +5 version with a white border, I'd take the +4 every time.
Time is important to some people, Dragon, and putting someone down because they don't have all +1 gear is pretty fucking silly, go get a breath of fresh air. Xean obviously puts up respectable #'s with the gear setup he uses, so what's the deal? If he puts up good #'s and isn't a pain to group with (pain = bossy people, arrogant, /say macros, serious AFK issues), then I'd invite him every time over someone bringing an arrogant attitude like the one you displayed in your initial response. (Note, talking to Dragon, not you, Xean, so you don't get messed up again
People really do this? LOL It hasn't hit my town yet, thankfully.
