Stop Player Bashing

[Greatguardian]

Ok using the same ideals you use.
Player A doesn't want to gear corectly, but wants to do X event.
Player B is doing X event and player A ask to joins. After looking at players A's gear, player B doesn't allow player A to come.
Player A calls player B an elitist, pretty much player bashing player B because he doesn't want the burden of player A.

How is this acceptable for player A to call player B an elitist and not for player B to call player A a poorly geared player?

This is something that needs to be addressed for sure. I don't mind if players don't gear properly, that's their choice in the end. But to call others rude, elitist, or jerks (I've been called much, much worse) because we don't want to party with them is just wrong. They were given a choice, they made it, they can live with not getting an invite from people with standards.

So, would you tell a WAR without a Ridell or Maneater that they can't party with you in the Wajaom Woodlands bird camps just because they didn't have those?

tldr the whole thread, just gonna drop something here that came to mind when I started reading posts.

The problem is we are dealing with Opinions...and to expand on a rough quote from Dirty Harry:

opinions are like @$$holes... everybody has one.

...doesn't mean everyone wants to hear it.

I would tell a war he couldn't pt with me if he DID use those silly weapons in any party of mine.

Yeah well. last night people weren't just calling me a poorly geared player. They were calling me a bad player. Period. If they had left it at "you're a poorly geared player" I would not have gotten so offended or defensive.

Part of being a good player is gearing correctly. You are not gearing correctly despite knowing better.

Do you see the discrepancy here?

Gearing correctly and being pimp are not the same thing. Some Haste is good, capped is better, but I'd take some a some Haste player over a no Haste player. It's not just Haste etc, just an example

Cool then. Then you would find yourself partying with me as I make sure I have at least SOME haste on all my DD jobs that I have leveled. hell, I'd probably haste my mage jobs too and it would help with spells, right?

Edit: I meant with spell casting... recast times, etc
