[Soap Box] {Lock On} & general charity shouts

[Meyi]

Some people in this thread doesn't seem to understand exactly how money works.

I have to wonder if these people also grow all of their food in their gardens and raise sheep to turn their wool into clothing. You know, wouldn't want to waste money on things you can do yourself!

It also reminds me of the people who got angry at crafters for buying craft items instead of farming them themselves.

Yeah, specialization is overrated. It's not like that's what enabled human societies to get where they are, or anything!

No idea why you get so worked up over this. Does it affect you in any way if someone is shouting in Port Jeuno offering boss win/atma/whatever for a price?

I'm just an intense person who comes off as even more intense. Trust me, I'm not that worked about it, it's all relative.

About it affecting me, we're kind of talking about different things at this point because of the tangent trail from my OP. I made this thread mostly for three reasons.
1. I've been leaving groups far more than I'd like because of the old bait and switch.
2. Reading stupid 'screw you over' shouts and the ensuing flame wars is getting old; blocking shouts all together obviously isn't feasible. Blist can only hold so many names.
3.Lastly but mainly, I was hoping that there's at least one server out there where this stuff either doesn't exist(virtually) or happens with far less regularity.

Why do you ask the questions to which you know the answer?

You completely missed my main question which I asked at least twice in the OP.(tip:it's at the beginning and end of the normal sized text) I mean, really, I asked a bunch of questions besides my main one yet all you focused on is the 'question' I didn't ask but had the answer already mentioned. Are we playing jeopardy? I never asked "what do you do/how do you deal with these stupid shouts" which is exactly why I said inb4 yet $*#!@s keep mentioning it, amazing!

Dare I bring up the term 'strawman' here. lol
