First the job class, then there was the HP, then the weapon, now the gearscore...

It really is starting to become a resume. Next will be "Must have 3-5 Titan wins of experience."

Well, I think some people just want to play with other people who are interested in squeezing as much performance as they can out of their character. I don't really think that's a bad thing. If you want to play with a more casual group that may not be as concerned with player performance, then you could probably find or create a group, Linkshell, or Free Company to do exactly that.

What is so wrong with some players wanting to be their best and looking for other players who feel the same way? I guess I just don't see the problem (granted some players are outright rude about it, but that is a different point all together, in my opinion).
