Someone people need to stop being obnoxious

So I literally hit 50 a few days ago, I'm doing pretty decent on farming my gear such as only have a level 37 bracer (Yes its due for an upgrade), and the tank in my last CM run straight called me a useless bard because of it and the fact that he locked me out of the fight. The only reason why I haven't even switched it out is since I almost have enough tomes for the DL bracers I'm waiting to get an extra 50.

Like I'm not trying to be snobby but most of these players who are feeling almighty did speed runs to get their gear. I hope the whole community doesn't attack me about this. Its just something I've been running into lately.

Like the stats in 1 piece of jewelry are going to make any difference, lol.

There is soooo many elitist pricks in this game.

IMO any elitist behaviour in DF should result in very long DF ban. But SE have their hands full with gilsellers and dont have time to purge toxic players from df.

And they will do nothing even after the Gilsellers Crusade,since it's not bannable to be a elitist prick.

There are some kids in this game who think they are almighty, call people with names and act like they are superior (think Game of Thrones king Joffrey to get mental image :P)...

Always when I come across one, I can't help but laugh. They are so ridiculous and living in their own little bubble. If they were so awesome, you would think they already gathered the cream of their server around them so they didn't have to use Duty Finder.. but oh well, I guess they just don't have enough social skills to make friends? :P

However on this note I have to say that when you go further than CM runs (like Titan for example) I really suggest to upgrade to the best gear you can get your hands on or you will just simply fail :S

I just bought a new ring for 2k, I GOT THAT DPS HE WANTED!

That's It! O_O I'm now gonna call them all Joffrey's ^_^
Don't be a Joffrey people :P

People need to ease up really. Maybe if they were enjoying themselves more it wouldn't seem like such a chore when one persons gear slightly slows the run or ups the difficulty slightly.

Rofl I fail, I bought a ring since its 3 30 AM and my brains being stupid. WOOPS!

Heh, rest assured that these kind of people will never be liked by ANYONE - even fellow elitist pricks/narcissists hate each other for what they are. Niceguyism ftw!

I was about to switch to Twin Adders and my ring was from the Flames. Forgot that I needed to get new bracers but Im running WP so I should have enough for my DL bracers.

Yup he has his holy shield +1 and weapon. He was a totally DBAG.

I enjoy those types of people, usually because they're the ones that get hit by Landslide or fail to dodge Wrath of the Land.

People who mouth off about us wiping because of the "gimps", mid-combat because they have the time to after being hit by Landslide, are just hilarious. :3

If he is C something we are talking about the same DBag

Nah his name started with a D, ironic D for douche or dick. :D

TBF even a small increase in stats can make a big difference, at least I have noticed this for healing.

That being said it's hardly reason for elitist behaviour but these kinds of people are always waiting to put someone down just so they can feel better about themselves.

why u didnt buy 1 bracer on the ah for 1000 or 2000 gil?

Such a huge circle jerk in this thread.

On the other side of the table, people that have FATE'd all the way up to 50 should at least do right by the people they are playing with and use all those seals they've hoarded to at least buy level 42 GC gear. Just spent half my night in AK parties falling apart because of poorly geared healers and DPS half in 29-39 gear. I tell them as nice as I can and most have taken in their stride and recognised that fact, but it's the super lazy ones who want instant tomes that can't hack being told they need to improve on something.

But elitists are the least of your worries, ilvl requirements come next patch will force you to stay out. Hopefully those some will screw their head on by then.

What happened to sitting down relaxing & playing a damn game for FUN?

Actually look at my gear thats what I was running with so don't call me lazy, thanks. :)

Who called you lazy?

The instant gratification crowd tends to also be the vocal douche bag crowd in games. They'll bitch about someones gear, yet be either even more undergeared or about the same gearing.

Most games I abuse my roll as healer to remove the douche bag from group with a vote kick, either I go or they do, healer shortage mean I come out on top a vast majority of the time. I'm not apathetic like many, and refuse to suffer a dungeon with an abusive jackass hammering on another player.

Oh woops I re-read what she was saying was directed to me since she said this thread was a circle jerk and thought I was trying to get my gear carried by doing CM. ;o

I'm not attacking you, I apologise if that's what it seemed like. But I'm just calling out what it's like for (some) of us on that other side that this thread seems to be bashing. I don't QQ and rage in party chat and I know the type you are referring to. But we want to have just as much fun playing but sometimes people don't seem to wrap their head around that there is some content that isn't as simple as waltzing in pew pewing and walking out with loot, and it's those kind that are burdening the rest.

It's frustrating to think you spend over a hour and a half wasted that isn't for legitimate reasons (aka poorly geared in all level 29-39 gear excluding AF). I've been helping people in AK with strats all day with Demon Wall and other problems, and worked through it. But the bottom line is if the gear level isn't above or close to 50. You're gonna have a rough time, if not impossible.

Edit: Again, not attacking you. This is more of a reply to the rest of the thread that are being sarcastic about needing to upgrade their accessories.

Yeah my bad for thinking you were attacking my sexy ass. I do understand what you mean, I'm justifying the players who hit 50 and think they can get a free run into tomes and not work for it. I just thought this guy was the biggest egotistic shit that he called me out because of one piece of my gear that I'm farming WP/AK for tomes to get the bracers, its like the fuck dude get a life at that point.

Definitely not for DPS. 2 or 3 extra INT means almost nothing.

I wished there would be a reputation system. You can +1 or -1 someone, but you can't see how many points someone got. But then again, elitists would probably -1 everyone who won't skip a cutscene. Meh.
Maybe group people with similar amounts together via DF? I'd love to watch a -100 'n00b' play with a -100 elitist. Not that it would help... but it would be funny nontheless. :D

This is what every person has to look forward to at level 50. I don't regret anything about trolling the people who do nothing but spend 8-10 hours a day farming one dungeon only to complain when new people get into their group.

The player in question then immediately quit right afterwards without a word, presumably to be an annoying little twat in some other group when he didn't get his way again.

that kind of spirit die together with tetris

In CM runs I could care less what anyone is wearing gear wise. In fact for all I care run it naked, however; If you take to long on cut scenes and cant keep up with the group you will be locked out of boss fights. I run with another tank and a summoner friend, and if your a healer our summoner friend will keep us alive. If your DPS we can definitely complete the boss's without you.
It's not that I have an elitist attitude, its just SE decided to require us to run CM around 50+ times to afford full Darklight. We were just fine farming AK with 4 man premades.

Did some DF Titans yesterday.

D-bags join, examine people, abuse some members and leave. 5 times this happened... *le-sigh*
6th run everyone seemed nice. WHM said they were new, so stuff was explained. They were doing great, people were topped up and tank in full health nearly all the time.
Then a wild-SMN pops and starts to abuse our WHM for not keeping DDs topped up. Then the SMN died in a plume and reason behind the death apparently was because he didn't have full HP (nothing to do with the fact that he failed to dodge the stuff of course) - and SMN above all, last time I checked they had means to top themselves up if they were too far from Medicas and Succors.

Anyway, then later I did story end dungeon for friend and we had a super WHM in full darklight gear, garuda wep etc. - They sucked donkey balls.

Lesson: Don't judge people too soon, sometimes they might surprise you (more ways than one).

Its not really asking a lot to at least keep your gear updated. It comes across as lazy or rude when someone insists on running party content in underleveled gear. Its easy and cheap to get so there's no reason not to.

No need for him to rage about it but you should keep gear updated.

Of course and I didn't actually go further than Ifrit until I got at least my healing body, but my point ultimately was that good gear doesn't make bad players good. But also mediocre gear (in some cases, maybe not Titan though) doesn't make good players bad.
