Stop Player Bashing

[Naturebeckles]

On a limited budget you should always upgrade things in order of cost efficiency. If you have a kraken club, and an nq ruby ring, you're doing it wrong. However, if you don't have much money, a ruby ring may be a good piece, depending on situation, etc.

If there is something better than what you have, that is easier/cheaper to get, than you are doingitrong. Example: trying to get a dalmatica solely for the refresh, even though pluviale is much easier to get.

Basically, you want to get reasonable NQ gear (which is incredibly cheap), and then upgrade it as you are able to, starting with whatever gets you the most for the least gil/time. At no point should you ever downgrade anything. As long as your base sets are good, this will always be acceptable.

Base sets should be pretty simple: tp should be haste > acc/da > atk > etc. Ws sets should take advantage of appropriate modifiers, and/or atk+acc, as appropriate.

You do know the flame ring is better than the ruby ring and not expensive anymore. right?

The first page or so of replies to you in any thread I've seen you post in have always been relatively polite, they simply disagree with the things you've said that are blatantly wrong. It's only your stubborn refusal to see that other people are right that is causing people to become frustrated with you and make fun of you.

I don't mind being made fun of. I mind being called a bad player. Gear choices are still based on opinion, even with the "facts" of the game mechanics. That's no reason to call me a bad player over it unless you see my on my war wearing a serket's ring.

You don't need to respect me, to listen to advice that could improve your gameplay.

If i offered you million dollars, would you refuse to take it because i was mean to you?

Btw, please don't let us keep you up all night. It's important to get a good nights sleep before class.

I'm a person of principle. But I highly doubt a person who is mean to me is going to offer me any sum of money whatsoever.

Yes. It was an example. And ruby ring is still acceptable for someone who just got their first job to 75+, and doesn't have much gil. 35k for +1 str is NOT a smart upgrade for someone with extremely little gil/gear.

Alright... just checking.

I think you're a lost cause. We've come full circle. Good gear is fact, not opinion.

Why not? I am being mean to you, but i'm still offering you knowledge which is very valuable. Just because i don't like you doesn't mean i don't want to see you do better.

TPing in acc gear over haste gear when your acc is already capped is the same as using a serket ring on a job that doesn't use mp.

Yep. I'm a lost cause. Now stop bashing me.

(IE: saying I'm a bad player and calling me a moron... maybe not you, but others have).

I don't know many people who want to see others do better with anything in life if they don't like that person. You must be special if you honestly feel that way.
