just thought i'll share something

A month back or so.. had a Mire party PLD DRK RNG COR BRD RDM

Everything started out great.. we were killing pretty fast. XP was flowing in for like the first 5 min. Then shit happens. The COR was the puller. (Happens to be my GF) Doing a fine job pulling the mobs.. but the one thing she didn't do was use Evoker on the RDM. She said that she'll give evoker roll when the RDM needs it, but the RDM get all pissy and goes on saying how he has other COR pulling and be able to give Evokers and such. (p.s my GF and I have made countless Mire party with her COR as puller and using Evoker when needed and nvr had a problem.) As a matter of fact, the RDM rarely ever goes below 200mp and had never once needed to convert yet. But he kept bitching in party chat, up to the point until he didnt cure the PLD and PLD died. And of course who does he blame? the COR.

So what do we do? We disband. I know we could have just given him Evoker and shut him up, but it's a matter of principle ;)

Ok, i think i got this down. if there's a jerk in the party who won't shut up, here's what you do: /tell everyone that you're about to teleport vahzl with the douchebag for a xarcabard exile and to be sure to disband before the spell completes. leave the bastard in xarcabard and warp back. does this waste time? yes. will your party gladly wait for you to come back because that was funny as hell? absolutely. can't that jerk warp back too? sure, but it's the principle of the matter. and with any luck, they'll call a GM. a certain bloodthirsty GM with a purple dragon pet. try not to think of it as making more work for dave. think of it as "you didn't follow dave's guide on how to NOT be retarded. therefore, you get the F-U from the players AS WELL AS the GMs." they'll never play again, and that's what it's all about isn't it? :)

People should especially shut up when a question doesn't apply to them. Every time my Dyna LS lead asks "who has BRD75" or "Who has Dyna-Tavnazia Acceess", half the freaking people in the linkshell have to say "I don't", or "I need Qufim win" or "I have 15 BRD, want me to change?". Just STFU; if no one says "Yes", the answer is clear.

It's not so much the bitching as the "experts" that get to me, especially in the low level areas.

When you're in Qufim Island, 5 well-geared people with at least 5 75s each to their names and that one RDM23/WAR05 telling everyone else how to do their jobs...

/pcmd leave

/ma "Warp"

I say extend this to life. Nothing bakes my clams faster than seeing someone yell at someone over a mistake.

Fast Food customers and low-level retail customers take note.

Well.. I still havent met a leader from a HNM LS, or NM LS, or Dynamis LS, or whatever event LS, that cant STFU when they are leveling out of their schedules.. Shit is irritading when you are leveling a new low level job, you invite em to your party, or someone else in your party invites em and its like you have a freakin' LS event coordinator telling EVERYONE in the party what to do, when to do it, how to do it, .... Its a freakin' EXP party man!... We still dont have many skills at level 11!!... Its alot worst when that person is your leader of whatever high level LS and you REALLY are trying to find nicer words then callin him a total douchebag..

You know who's good at bitching? Managers.
