Well I'm sitting there in this PT with a rank 3 Mithra THF. She started at 32 and ended at 34 in Citadel. A few things I noticed.
1) She never onced pulled a link.
2) She had the best gear, she had hairpin, leaping boots, ext.
3) She had an alternative sword allowing for fast blade until getting Viper Bite.
It pains me that I can't remember her name, but if I can I will post it later.
Now let me tell you about some other THFs I've partied with lately. All rank 5s+. All of them useless. No food, just dagger pre 33, no good gears.
Last night I PTed with Wackygamer, rank 6, was 32 BLM. Elvaan.
He had an astral ring, a +2 dex ring. He had half a seer's set, and no pants or belt. He used a staff(a low level one). No food, even though apple pies are only a fricking 1k/stack at this moment.
Now here's what set me off. I hear Wackygamer talking crap about his last PT. These bunch of noobs I'm sure had gear better than him. I mean... a solid wand is what, 5k? Some int rings can't be more than 10k. Never seen a piece of seer's set less than 10k. I ask him about it, and he says well your a Taru of course you'll have better stats than me.
Duh! That's why you need decent gear. I don't know about most BLMs, but being outdamaged by a RDM would put me to some serious shame, specially when they're freaking focused on MND gear and using up their rings slots for astrals.
The answer? "I'm not as rich as you Fire."
What the hell? I could assemble a better setup than he has for 100k! The obvious answer is this is his subjob, and he's just leeching exp.
While all this is going on, rank 10 Ninja lvl 32 Devifoxx. Nibbles ask him where all his gear is. Meaning his rings, neck piece, earrings.
The answer? "This is just my subjob."
I don't know about all of you, when you're rank 10 and rank 3s are way better equipped than you, I think there's something to be said.
Things I won't do>
1. Call someone a noob based on their rank.
2. Bother a newer player about expensive gears.
Things I will do>
1. Call someone a leech based on their obvious means versus output.
2. Get pissed off and make an angry message board rant about the situation.
In closing, noob is a state of mind people, not a rank or level. And I'm sure as hell having better experiences with newer players who give a shit than older ones who want to just leech exp. I mean come on, it looks like some of these guys just scraped together whatever they could find in their fricking mog house.
But that's just what set me off, the idea that because they had higher level jobs they were better players, even when they failed to give a damn about their current one.
