I guess it just appeals to my sense of humor and cosmic justice more than other people's...especially as it was in the Doonz 
A Raise is a courtesy, not an obligation.
Self-quote for emphasis. SQFE maybe?
And lots of justification.
Again, i'mma chuck this out there. ive been in dunes many times and usually have my HP in whitegate. Since the an update a long while back, it takes equally as long getting from whitegate >(warp taru)> Home nation >(Outpost warp)> Camp then it does waiting for raise, only difference is your not losing possibly 200-300 exp.
The only person screwing up any party is the one who died, because they won't accept any loss of exp. Tho i'm not a "true whm" My rdm has been blessed/cursed with Raise, and I do sometimes get asked to raise and sometimes I feel nice and others I don't.
I hate it when I get asked to raise then say no just to be cussed out "it's your job to help us." I even got that passing by, then getting bug'd to Powerlevel a group. It is no one's job to do anything when they are doing it to be nice.
Last few posts *do* remind me that it's well worth reiterating the point:
If you're levelling in Valkurm, set your HP thereabouts (outpost or Konschtat zone if you own it, Selbina if you don't) and save everyone the headache. I don't care how much endgame you have to worry about quickly getting to afterward - what with outpost warps, town -> Whitegate warps, Whitegate -> town/Jeuno warps ... hell, now you can get to a miscellaneous maw, pop to the past, warp to a city, warp to another fort, and pop back out the nearby maw to the present - what with all those transportation options, it really doesn't take all that long to get from anywhere to anywhere.
So don't waste your own *and* 5 other people's time, if you die, just in an effort to save yourself (and *not* anyone else) a relatively small amount of time to go put your HP back where it was afterward.
At the very least, keep your HP in your home city (which lets you get to all sorts of places, and there's really no good reason *not* to keep it there these days anyway...), and OP back to Valkurm if you die. Bit slower, but still faster than getting a raise and subsequently waiting for weakness.
Note that none of these excuses the assholiarity demonstrated somewhat by the account in the OP, and more visibly by the perpetrator's posts in this here topic, mind you. But it's still a really good idea in general, and in this case it would've avoided the issue entirely.
You're fucking stupid.
You were his/her best friend for god knows how long, even back on the old toon Heb back when I met your absent-minded ass.
You got burned or what to make you change your mind so quickly?
If you're gonna bitch about Vsa, at least bring a story why to the table instead of this bandwagon shit...
Or throw in a nice derail... :/
Oh god, best thing ever.she was begging me to add something to the flame , were still great friends
no need to bitch about it little guy![]()
Again ill explain it for you one more time. When i powerlvl i let the party do their jobs. If i see that they are about to die then i take over. It lets the party think on their own w/o me stealing hate. By powerlvling balls to the wall you do not teach them jack shit. You just let the DD think "HAY GUYS IF I SOULEATER LAST RESORT AND KEEP THAT SHIT ON I WONT KEEP HATE!" If you teach DD's that then they'll never learn jack fucking shit about their jobs. See Tristamgreen is a good DRK knight before he retired it. As is Kohra. I'm sure they didnt have powerlvlers dicking them instead of teaching them on how to play their jobs. If you powerlvl them to the way you obviously believe is correct then you do not do not teach them a damn thing.
And secondly i'll repeat this one more time for you i never agreed w/ iaredrew. Go check.... I actually resorted to DISAGREEING w/ him on 3 accounts. I actually said several times i do not know who vsa is.
Everyone else said it, maybe if I say it too you'll get it.
This is the part where the rest of your complaint is drowned out by the community in unison screaming at you: "It's the Dunes, foo~!"
-_-;
Party in the Dunes, bring RR or set HP in Selbina or the OP and eat a HP.
Not a big deal.
A Raise is a courtesy, not an obligation.
Don't waste peoples time? It's the fucking dunes. You know how much time is being wasted just by wanting a raise? If people would just put their Hp in Selbina or the Op then it'd save a lot of time and exp output would be higher.
First off fucktard... And i mean Fucktard in its lowest form for ya dude. I requoted that for emphasis on what i had said in the previous statement. Dumb shit please show me where i agree w/ what Iaredrew said. Never did i once fucking say "HAY GUYS IAREDREW IS CORRECT." So your logic is skewed.You haven't learned a damn thing have you? The new players don't learn unless you tell them how to play even if they listen otherwise they just go derp I'll do what I want. So you're better off going balls to the wall or not power leveling them at all because either way they're wasting your time. You don't teach them a damn thing anyways because they have to learn how to put up with fucking dying and sometimes not having a raise. Once again power level them completely or just tell them to fuck off.
For you agreeing with what Iaredrew says refernce:

Oh hey you said don't judge based off of a power level. In the second one you make the notion that Vagoo is an asshat because of his power level. Why you agree? You wanted people to really look at that part of the post again because this guy is an asshat. Thusly you have 1) contradicted what was said in post 50 by agreeing with the person that you told not to judge a player's performance via powerlevel then made a judgement that, man this guy is a douche 2) a hypocrite for saying don't judge then going and judging the person yourself.

And secondly i feel sorry for you, honestly you give little or no credit to most people in the party. But then i think about it and totally forget that you make a shitty powerlvler anyways because you have..... 10 MP to powerlvl and probably rarely did such anyways. So going balls to the wall for dumbass galka Paladins is like a Cure2 and then rest AMIRITE? The party learns to self sustain if you dont curewhore them and rather just take over in dire emergencies. And sometimes they realize they dont even need a powerlvler.
Powerlvlers that curewhore to the highest extent teach the party nothing except to rely on powerlvlers. Which again create shitty players like Antdog. Honestly I bet if i pulled that thread up, which i am too lazy to try even, you probably bitched about his caliber of play. You going gung ho powerlvling doesn't do a bit of good except breeding shitty players like him. It just creates shitty mind sets that lead to one of the following A. I can just /assist <tank> and go afk because the powerleveler will take care of us, or B. I can keep SE, LR up and i wont die because powerleveler will take care of us.
Jesus fucking Christ please just please stop posting. You agreed with it thats why you wanted to draw attention to the fucking post. If you wanted to draw emphasis to what you originally quoted QUOTE YOUR OWN GOD DAMN POST. Is that really that fucking hard to do? Shit.
No heres the thing Jyakoff I do not need to cure bomb their tank to get hate. You know what I do in the dunes on the rare chance that I did power level? I cure II'd the tank got hate and tanked for them. When you power level you aren't teaching them shit. Death is a part of the game that you have to deal with. You can't get the experience points back? Well learn your job and not pull hate so you don't die. Sorry unlike you I don't have to Cure IV every sign of damage I took.
If you REALLY want to bring race differences in (oh hey you put down a race that makes racist albeit the race is fictional you still demonstrated that you are a racist asshat) lets bring in the fact that anything you kite and tank pretty much one shots you. Oh hey look there I go again doing Kirin by myself being the good Paladin that I was. Remember Jyakoff everything comes at you like a fucking semi-truck you'll always die, and the funny part is you wont get a party so you'll keep lotting those fucking exp scrolls from Dynamis where I set time aside where I went hey I'll try to get an exp party if I have to make my own so fucking what. You're a terrible Paladin if you wont even try to get a party. Maybe if you did not die so damn much you would not need those experience parties. Maybe if you thought hey we're farming and killing shit nets me experience points I should swap! A session of farming will net you more experience points than lotting those dynamis scrolls will ever get you. Oh wait no one wants a Taru paladin because well everything is a semi-truck compared to you so you die right away.
Once again YOU DO NOT TEACH PLAYERS SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING BY POWERLEVELING THEM. Do not say but the tank is still doing their job and the healer is doing their job. You're breeding idiots that always expect to have raise. You're making players that don't realize that death is fine and to set their home point in the dunes, Qufim, or Kazham early because a safety net is always there. You're making it hard for a puller to make the judgment call of when the healer has enough mana for the next pull because the might powerleveler is there.
IF you're going to fucking power level them go balls to the wall they wont learn shit anyways, but hey you expect everyone to learn and be smart because you're miles behind the rest of us when it comes to intelligence. If you were smart you'd realize all those people that are getting 75 like antdog fucking suck balls and don't know what the hell they are doing they are a permanent nub.
I have always been anti-power level that is why I rarely did it unless it was a friend that asked. The only way nubs are going to learn is through experience why do you think there are parties right now in the 50s getting out side cures from a red mage? They have always been power leveled because of twits like you. Once again if you're going to do it going balls to the wall or don't even bother. Not doing it does a favor to everyone.
Romper's long posts always make me feel warm inside <3Jesus fucking Christ please just please stop posting. You agreed with it thats why you wanted to draw attention to the fucking post.
