Haste and You... A guide to the misinformed.

OP: great post. It's nice to see people running the numbers so that others can learn why certain stats are so valuable.



Unfortunately, gear elitists tend to come off in a poor light - you might say you feel sorry for them, but more often than not a new or average player's experience with a gear elitist is being denigrated for their less-than-optimal gear.

Gear elitists, in my experience, don't care where you're coming from -- if your gear is not the best possible (which at this point in time generally means a full set of Emp +2 armor and a lv.90 Emp weapon unless you're using Twilight gear) then you will be treated as someone who does not deserve to be breathing air, much less playing FFXI, and that gear elitist is likely to instruct you to either die in a fire or take a short walk off of a tall building.

This often leads to the impression that anyone with good gear is likely to have a similarly poor attitude, and the desire to avoid also having such a bad attitude may lead some players to intentionally pursue 'lesser' gear.



It doesn't help that such gear elitists may ignore such factors as that a person has just gotten their first job to 90 and therefore has not yet had the opportunity to acquire the gear an elitist might expect.

Or we hate noobs that from /c them you know are not going to be gearing right ever because there are obvious better ways to use all the gear they have and or better gear on the AH for like 5K..

I can burn a DD to 90 in 2 days and in another 2 days skills are all caped and gear is good enough to deal damage(no af+1/2) i prob with the noobs on this game are the noobs that cant do any damage on DD jobs because abyssea made DD so hard. srsly no excuse to go to an abyssea party and ws for 1-300..

I wonder, though, if you are able to differentiate between a noob and a newb?
