Being able to lead others to play the game well is not quite the same as being able to play well yourself. Leading requires a very different set of skills than actually playing.

So, i guess you're just staying up all night then? It's been over an hour since you said you were going to sleep.

I ain't mad. Y'all can stop apologizing to me really, i appreciate the effort though.

One of life's greatest gifts is when an opponent bolsters your reputation at the sacrifice of their own.

I didn't make this post to troll them, or anyone. Ii I wanted to troll them, I'd do so in their respective posts. But think it better to ere on the side of "Maybe they just don't know" rather than assume they're idiots, and do my part to teach rather than scold.

I JUST got done reading the entire dogpile that's happening. And I am currently thinking of ways to better illustrate the benefits of Gear swaps in light of the um... "Discoveries" acquired in the wake of my original post... Amazingly even shouts and insults carry loads of information. I'll be back some other time to see what I can do.

Yeah maybe I don't know what an "ace's helm" is or gain any benefits from wearing my Goblin Coif in all situations, but I enjoy playing the game and interacting with people.

Oh, I get it. If you try to get good gear, you can't enjoy the game or your interactions with others.

You're right about both statements. Daylight savings time is actually screwing me up. My body thinks it's quarter to one instead of quarter to two. Leading does in fact require a very different set of skills. But I'm not bad at playing either. the few times I've played my mage jobs, I'm constantly asking for my husband's feedback because all his mages are level 90 except for smn and sch and he's a better player than me. I'll outright admit it to anyone. He has all kinds of gear swapping macros for his mage jobs too.

That is fine, as long as you understand that doing so is one of the worst things you could do to your job performance, and don't try to convince others to follow suit, under the guise that it will let them do more damage, etc.

Aurore head/gloves are just terrible gear choices unless capping haste elsewhere. You are effectively gimping yourself 2% haste over turbin/dusk which are both as easy to obtain. It's not about having the best possible gear in the game or gtfo. It's about making reasonable gear selections based on what you currently have access to or can easily obtain. BTW CoP may have been level capped still when you completed it but it had already been gimped before you even started playing.

I appreciate your wanting to teach rather than scold. I appreciate that immensely. When you come back with more info, I'll be reading it. I'll seriously weigh my options and maybe tweak some things.

I know that about CoP. But it was still hard compared to now. For the new players, it IS the hard way.

Last 4 pages have all been.. you don't need haste to enjoy the game..

I think your point has been made >_>

Whenever you guys get done comparing penis sizes maybe we can get back to discussing haste ..
