Note to Mages

Greatguardian,
Can you give your SIG creator credit since you took his intellectual property and used it for your own?
Thanks

It's not copyrighted. Also, I don't think he's using it in a way in that requires giving anyone else credit. In this case, giving credit would be more of an optional formality.

I've reported all the damage epeen posts and siggie posts to the forum moderator (including this one). Ridiculous to step into a thread and use it to have your own conversation disregarding all the other posters staying on topic.

I believe that dude copied it from someplace else anyway. It's not his original work. Really, you ought to be complaining at him.

Why is it ridiculous? Conversations naturally veer off in all sorts of directions, and a forum thread is nothing more than a conversation in text. It's easy to pick out the posts and lines of conversation you're interested in!

I feel for the moderators. Why should they have to deal with all the reports on signatures? I'm pleasantly surprised that some of them are keeping a sense of humor about the whole situation (/poke Emdub).

Also, instead of reporting signatures, you can go into your personal settings and turn them off! Why continuously report something that is explicitly allowed by forum functions?

I'm more amused about the part where he started this particular off topic fork in the thread, and he's not happy about it. I was curious as to why he didn't post it in the thread about signatures, but I thought nah, forget it.

Not the siggies themselves. The posts about the siggies. And, almost always, some slightly off-topic post or side conversation happens in a thread. But, when the off-topic convo goes over 3 pages and takes over the thread, it's out of control. People have to practice some self-policing so the moderators don't need to step in as often. Maybe we need a separate thread about people completely derailing legitimate threads.

Thread derails are a perfectly normal part of conversation. Also, people will find any reason, sensible or not, to complain about something. Anything. It doesn't matter. People will bitch just for the sake of bitching.

double edged message, yeah a mage should have all their spells, but do you know how expensive some of these spells are? combine the fact alot of allies are selfish and don't let you lot on spells when they drop, playing a mage these days sounds like a royal pain. we don't really need people on others cases about being the best of the best of the best for their job, for its pretty unreasonable to expect as much from others. too many variables leading to why they cant have them, just give em a break.

That being said, let's try to keep the threads on topic.

I understand that threads can be unintentionally derailed. Threads that are no longer on topic run the risk of being locked by a moderator. If you notice the topic changing, please start a new thread to discuss the new issue.

Thank you,

Yes some trigger spells have become expensive. No, that's not a valid excuse for not having those spells. Stop being so goddamn lazy, get the necessary gil for the necessary spells before joining seal runs or +2 item runs where people actually expect you to have your trigger spells.
