Stop Player Bashing

[Sp1cyryan]

Pretty much the general view of all the other forums.

Well Zam is not terrible, but the suggestion threads there for jobs individually are generally bad.

AH.com is filled with trolls (like me!) who like to tear apart stupid shit there, but has knowledgeable people (people who also post on BG as well) there making it not too bad in my eyes. Dasva, Tigerwoods, Nightfyre, and others will provide A+ information. It has gotten better there than it used to be.

BG remains the cutting edge for the best information (generally not for casual players), but looking through there can be like finding a gold ring in a sewer.

I have not checked KI in years, but it has always been a joke as far as I know.

Here is just turning out to be the worst of any of them.

I wear the Aurore hat and gloves because they have str dex and/or agi on them with the haste which overall helps thf better than the dusk gloves and walmart turban. (sylph term if nobody else has heard of that before).

Now see here, you're contradicting the math you had agreed with. If you feel so strongly about this, why not post more indepth on why it's better.

Just for clarification, assuming that you are actually swapping gear for TP and WS, Walahra Turban and Dusk gloves still contribute more damage than Aurore head/hands despite their Str/Dex/Agi; especially in Abyssea where dDex and fStr are capped most of the time.

Edit: Even if you're not swapping gear, Turban/Dusk should still add more damage.

I actually had somebody tell me that once after being invited to their party. I was mad they wouldn't let me party just because I didn't have either of those on my War. So, that's why I asked when you don't like players getting mad at you because you don't them play with you if they're poorly geared. Your version of poorly geared is different than other people's version. That was an example.

I'm not sure I comprehend this entirely. Someone getting mad at me for kicking them for using bad gear is no better than me getting mad at them for having bad gear. I'm not mad. I don't get mad when I see people using bad gear. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they don't know better. If they want to learn, I'll teach them. If they don't want to learn, I'll ignore them. If they insist that it's their right to do whatever they want, I'll insist it's mine not to have to carry them through whatever I'm doing. Any damage they're losing by not gearing properly has to be made up for somewhere.

That's actually an example of choosing something worse intentionally than an easier to obtain piece. Same happened at 75, people using Askar/Ace's/Denali over Turban. 5% Haste > 4% > 3%. It's also free. The Haste alone beats whatever neglegible gain (if any) you're getting from the +DEX. That's why he kicked you.

I can accept that. this conversation is going much better than it did last night.

Ironically, these people are telling you the exact same thing the people last night tried to tell you, in the exact same way. The only thing different is your reaction.


Do you not see the flip-floppiness of these posts?

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?

LOL!!!!! Awesome! This was back in the level 75 days, btw.

I totally and whole heartedly agree. Raging Rush and my personal favorite, King's Justice out damages Raging Axe anytime and all day long on those birds.

Fail.

I didn't get kicked. He invited me and then changed his mind because I didn't have the maneater or ridell on my war.

To Great Guardian... I'm not sure why it's not obvious why the Aurore is better for thf. Dex and Agi is best base stats for thf for acc, evasion, trick attack, etc. So... I'm surprised that you actually asked me to explain that.

I wear the Aurore hat

Try gettin a Raider's Bonnet+1, it would be really easy hun. Vision/Scars equipment are casual-player-friendly...even more if you're a thief :/ you could get that in less than a day.

Oh yeah, I do have the walmart turban and wear it on my sam and war. Just thought I'd clarify that.

I will eventually. right now the little bit of time I get to play, I was working on dagger trials and leveling my smn.
