Well, sorry, english is not my native language, so my vocabulary is lacking but the idea is there.
Why hating on other peoples having the things you have easier than how you got them? its not like they are taking the stuff away from you... and you can still get more stuff with your hard dedication and skill
And yeah, I concur that is very sad to see people not being able to do their job properly, but I dont think that noobish plage will last much when the game hits balance again after all these updates...
Take it like, you, an expert on the job or something are like the first wave of japanese players back when FF launched, when it hitted US, all the US were noobs, and what? do the Japanese hate you all for being noobs?? well maybe dunno, some one probably opened a forum with a topic like "US players ruining the gamezor!!11!!" but it eventually hitted a balance and the good elite players remaining being good and a bunch of noobs became great players or changed jobs, or leave the game etc... The level cap and the adjustments and the gear is changing, the way to play de game too, so, sit back and go do other suff if you cant stand seeing people like the examples you put, I dont botter, cuz I know taht not averyone is going to be good "as soon as they hit 90"
I completly understand the feeling of time wasted as I was in a Dyna LS myself and till i left I even didnt finished a set of relic, spending hours to end but I dont complain, I ENJOYED those hours, if it were "work" and "tedious" for you, then you were doing something wrong not having fun in the ride. Well of course I didnt wasted years in the LS I was busy enoug trying to reack 75 on SMN back when there wasnt even distinction between bloodpact rage/ward
Focusing... Sh1t happens, and its a shame those hours on end were "wasted", but as I said its not time wasted if you enjoyed the ride, and if you didnt... well I really used the word Masochist wrong, and clearly it was just work for you.
Maybe the word is.... elitist? egoist? or just plain cranky and bitter with everyone getting your same pair of shoes on sale now that they are an old model and you still got them when they cost half your monthly income... go get a new set then, its on sale!!!
