ok, so this gonna be a long post, but we have time i think *looks at clock*
So for a few months now ive been taking a break from lvling, working on crafts, fishing (10k carp, eeesh), making gil, etc. ive had a good time crafting, made a couple mil, bought some nifty toys, and generally enjoyed a dipshit-free environment. But recently the little moat carps have started talking to me, so i thought it might be time to take a break from Ol' Lu Shangs, and go play in the sandbox with the other kids.
So out of the closet i dug my old friend, lvl 20 warrior, geared up, bought an arsenal of weapons, crossbow bolts, food, utsusemi, etc, and head my furry behind down to the pits of hell, AKA Qufim Island.
The 1st thing i noticed, upon receipt of an invite, was the appalling predominance of warr/whm job combos. This "hand-me-down" pally approach never sat well with me, as 24 mp on an elvaan cant really do too much good, but now it seems like its taken hold of Every tank on the damn server lvl 40 or below. Not only were they Gimp as hell, but they were all, without exception, Underleveled crappy subs, i.e warr24/whm6, and so on and on. And as warr is the most common job pre-30, i got to group with most of them, and discovered that, not only were they a gimp job combo, but none of them were willing to main tank. Thus they defeated the purpose, if there is one, of subbing whm (cure thyself for hate), and would only cure when they thought they should, never while voking, and thereby proved that not only did they sub the wrong job, but indeed, they had no idea Why they subbed it. Just seemed to be a "Warr/whm = Pld" theory floating around. And oh yeah, they all had sub-standard equip, as in, lvl 24 in liz. And then i met---------
Kert
Ive seen the posts in the other topics, kert spouting things like "i'm a good
tank" and "all my other PTs were great".
Yes Kert, your other Pts were likely great. Why? cause they had people like me, who made up for your crappy armor, your lack of voke, your total inability to hold hate or do damage. And somehow, the leader Could not be coerced into Kicking you. So. In this PT we had, Me (mithra warr/nin), 1 hume drk, 1 elvaan war/whm, and a taru warr/mnk, kert, and a rdm. Horrible PT, and the thing that killed me was, 3 of the 6 ppl said "this is the best PT ive had all week!" and meant it... wtf is going on in the lower lvls these days!?!?! In this PT setup, I was main tank, and the TARU was my Backup VOKE!!!! Mithra! Taru!!! with 2humes and an elvaan!!!! why? my gear was the best. i had-----*gasp*---- BEETLE ARMOR!!
"NO WAY!" you say!
"Yuh-huh" says i. I'm fabulously rich of course, as that could be the only logical explanation. Yep, as soon as i dinged 21, on it all went, and so happy was i. For only the truly insanely wealthy in this game can afford Beetle armor, its hella expensive :roll:
so that was kert, i eventually just dropped PT after he cast Protect and then cure on the Rdm for no reason i could see, while we had been staring at a thunder ele for at least 30 seconds, and had made sure everyone knew not to cast spells. Dead, so sad.
Sooo the next day i came back, put seek up, got a decent PT and started tanking away, because the warrs were still whms and the gear was still lizard, and by-and-by we lose a member, and start looking for a replacement. There was noone at all, so at length i go against my better judgement and say "all right, invite the Nin/Thf, she can pull at least".
Wrong. she has no ranged weapon, no utsusemi, and is using some sort of daggers.....not katanas. So i figure ill just suck it up, go with it and tank AND pull, so we head off to camp. I head to the canyon near the tower, when suddenly Ninja-monkey says "not there, this is the best camp!" i check my map markers and lo and behold! yep, shes at Dumbass Camp of Noobland #361, the beach left of the tower. you all know the one, the place where Banshees, wights, AND thunder elementals spawn. I say calmly, "bad stuff spawns there, i dont feel like dying. come to my marker" She then proceeds to tell me that she lvled her warr there from 22-30, so she knew what she was doing, yadda yadda yadda you must not know what youre doing etc" So eventually i get them all to the canyon when it occurs to me to ask "if you have a lvl 30 warr, why is it that youre subbed THF?" to which she replies "I'm not blink tanking! STFU Noob!" after which i replied [take care!] and disbanded, deciding to call it a day.
So away i mosey, heading to qufim and my friend MR carbon Fiber Fishing rod, when i get a /tell from ninja-monkey, to the following effect:
"you noob, have fun noob you obviously didnt look at my job 1st noob"
to which i replied:
"you were invited solely to pull, not to tank, but you didnt have a ranged weapon..... so what purpose do you serve? you cant tank, you cant do damage, you cant pull....and you sure as hell cant heal..... you are a leech"
to which she replied:
"oh yeah noob, how bout i get on my 72 dragoon and PVP you huh???"
me (just to piss this wanker off):
"ahh, dragoon, another useless job. [congratulations!]"
Ninja-monkey:
"rofl drg/sam useless? you are such a noob noob, welcome to my blist bitch"
me:
"I've noticed that people who call others noobs are most often Noobs themselves. but in your case, i think you were just bricked on the head as a child"
me (after noticing that my tells were still going through):
"the command is /blist add Grieve Btw."
me:
"you Noob ^^"
so thats the story, long as i promised, and bursting with fruit flavor. may i just say at this point that my real gripe with warr/whm is: GODDAMMIT stop resting away Your Goddam TP! that 24 mp doesnt mean DICK! 3 days in qufim, and not one of my PTs has had a skillchain, ive been told various things, like thfs are useless and skillchains are a waste of time, and these things were all said by ADV jobs, dragoons, summoners, and the like, and i just cant understand how these people get anywhere at all, but there we have it. Like the mighty Kert they too will be lvl 40 in no time at all, because people are too terrified of being thought of as Dicks if they Boot someone from a PT.
Boot the motherfuckers, please for the love of god, or theyll proliferate like maggots! Like Wackygamer. or Magyst. Or Kert. So hey, what lvl is Wacky now? thats your fault PT leaders, YOUR fault. start hittin the Kick button, cause from now on, i urge the Good players, like me, to leave a PT if they wont kick people like that. just walk away. so kick them, or the kitty savin your ass walks, and im takin the red mage with me.
That is all. may rabid gophers consume the intestines of mine enemies.
