Re: n00bs in the high levels!!! OMGWTHBBQ?!

We're all individuals playing a game individually.

...And that's why it's called a massive multiplayer.

Right?

I think I deal with noobism just fine. I mean...everyone has them. Myself included.
It's just what you've done or what you haven't done to rectify the problem that really matters.

...And I suppose...me walking away from a party after losing 1.2k exp is going to solve everything too!

Personally I've never encountered this. You'd think people would learn by level 70 <.<

I had a SMN who didn't cure me when I was at 28HP and WHM ran out of MP.

After I died, I just simple asked why I didn't get a cure.

She replied. "You didn't ask."

I think that was the most steamed I've gotten in a long time.

Re: n00bs in the high levels!!! OMGWTHBBQ?!

It works both ways though. On my old character I was SMN in a PLD and WHM party, both of whom refused to heal the PLD because "I wasn't using enough MP" like it was a bad thing. Yep.

Sadly there will always be idiot people who can't do their job properly, no matter what job they are. When I was in a party in Quicksand Caves, our leader was ableto get us a RDM. Sounds great, having a RDM along for Refresh. Problem is; this RDM was subbing /NIN. Let's not aslo for the fact he was meleeing with the NIN and x2 SAM (me being one of them). And best part is, the RDM was rarely Refreshing the WHM and Dispelling the beetles when they're using their blasted eva up ability. The leader and I wanted to kill him.

I lost 1200 exp points yesterday to a party who had 5 DD's (me included for less than 10 minutes) and 1 blm as main healer. Yes, 1 blm as main healer. Also, the party was in Bhafaut (sp?) Thickets. Which means blm is not going to help much considering how Colibris there have Auto Reflect and high magic defense. Second, pt leader was noobish enough to invite another thf (me) when there was already one in pt. If you have 4 DD's, 1 blm, and 1 open slot for one more party member, the last person you want to invite is another DD. Get a rdm, whm, or smn. Not a thf. Having SH, hairpin, or any other unique piece of armor does not instantly take you off the noob list. You know when you stop being a noob when your job becomes much easier for you and you know how to use your abilities/spells to their full advantage. Don't think you are a noob because someone in your pt has a piece of gear that you would want but don't have.

Re: n00bs in the high levels!!! OMGWTHBBQ?!

I don't understand why people complain about bad parties if it's obviously a bad one. If I got an invite to the party and saw there was no main healer I'd just leave, if I stayed it would be my own fault for losing exp. However, if it was "I joined a PT, had everything needed, except the Tank didn't use provoke" then that would be understandable.

Re: n00bs in the high levels!!! OMGWTHBBQ?!

some people tend to sell their accounts to others infortantly which causes this, personally if you quit your character should die along with you, you put the soul into it and without the soul the body can not live, so therefore it must die as well

Re: n00bs in the high levels!!! OMGWTHBBQ?!

Let's see.
60 NIN who didn't tank and keep hate and was killing everyone in the pt.
PLD in Garlaige who didn't even provoke. We all survived, except for the PLD. ;P
50WHM who barely healed us, and got us a PL. At 50. o_O;

Yep. All bad encounters.
