When Friends, or you, become an Elitist.

[Tyrius]

Example Bis ex
"Don't stand close to each other or near orbs when lightning strikes the screen. They die standing close to someone." Fine, ok. now they know
"Next pull, lighting phase happen, they die due to standing near an orb." Strike one.
"Next pull, they die to standing near 3 people on lightning phase" Strike 2
"Next pull, they die standing in the spinning circles" Strike 3
Sorry guys, I'm done. People shouldn't be dying from stuff you avoid on the ground yet alone standing next to each other on lightning phase when lightning strikes the screen. /leaves group

hahah my thoughts exactly its not that I dont mind, some new people pick things up and it goes smooth maybe a little hickup or two but when its constantly over and over again to something you have seen and been explained !! and when its like one person and the whole group agrees and that one person is all like you guys are elitist jerks*facepalm*did you ever think its not us its you

[scarebearz]

this is probably the most silly answer I have seen and read. If you decided to unlock a book 3 is your decision because you wanted it, wished it and desired it. I dont think that building a stuff that you do not have to put forth any effort other then beat on a hammer or needle or whatever, and asking INSANE amount of gils for that is just being greedy is all and people that pay for that are as silly, but then they have no choice other then pay if they want their stuff, it sounds like is a sort of blackmail is like to say *I can, you cant, if you want it you pay or go to hell* this kind of mentality is just unbelievable, especially if it is asked for something very specific.

It doesnt mean that because you can you should

Most "high-end" crafters unlock master books at great expence to themselves, in order to hopefully make back more gil in the long run. Surely anyone can understand this logic.

We do not do it so that we can then go around crafting everything for free, for random players who are too mean to even pay a 5% tip on the mats cost (as per my example, that you call "greedy" and "insane").

If everyone did as you suggest there would be no "high-end" crafters, as none of us could ever afford to level/unlock them.

You appear to be one of those players that expect everyone else to do everything you wish, without ever doing anything in return, yet your calling me Greedy xD

I find your mentality to be unbelieveable too ^^



P.S. I have only ever had 1 person say my crafting fee's were unreasonable, I offered to sell him the finished item at a very reduced rate or if he provided the mats I would make it free. It turns out that offering to craft with someones mats *for free* is unreasonable, as I should make it with my own mats and give the item away free. Maybe you would have taken his side Mei? xD Needless to say, this person is now on my blist...

That said I'm probably one. I try not to be a jerk. But if you're wiping to faust enrage on A1 normal, or standing in orbs and dying on the last Library boss for the 4th time now, or auto attacking on that CT boss, I'm probably venting somewhere.

Same...

I can be pretty lengthily patient and chill with random people, new players and mistakes - shit happens, maybe they're lagging, maybe they got confused, maybe it was something off-screen on their end (people talking, etc), maybe they didn't know/no one told them a mechanic/skill, maybe they have an impediment (device, physical, mental, etc) - but when it's obvious they're either in "do not give a damn burn everything even if we die" mode, "I has a lazy", "the WHM will fix it so I don't need to dodge AoEs", being whiney/bossy/rude or just not caring to get it.... I'm probably growling at my monitor or venting quick one liners in FC chat... better believe I'm saying, "Are you people serious!? For pities sake!", at my monitor when people are still attacking during 5 headed's Heatwave and I've forced to maim myself to keep their sorry asses alive. *FLIPS TABLE*

If having no patience for people who should know better by now makes me an elitest, then I guess I am one. >_>

If I should ever become one of the elitist minority I should hope I get drummed out of my company and linkshells and treated like the pariah I would be. This community doesn't need nor deserve such condescension within it's population, much less have it be accepted by better players.

The vast majority of posters in this thread are not elitists. Once you que up for a random or group up with unknown people you are no longer an elitist

Was this meant to be ironic?

I usually team up with friends or family members when it comes to do dungeons I have never done because of Elitists though since 3.0 I did the DF and I was lucky to encounter nice people and tanks that took their time for me. Example in Neverreap the tank went slow instead of speed running because I have bad gear and took the time to explain everything. I wish I could be able to thank him again and play with this person but sadly not the same server.. Oh well..

The argument you give as a reason to allow HIGH prices of market is totally silly and I will repeat that to the end, what you choosed to do is no one business and is not acceptable as a reason for inflating the prices and* kill* those that want or just need something because they cant build it themselves.

For your information, I do everything myself..eh? Including undercutting by alot those that I consider thieves.

This is a game, not a life job that you need money in order to live.

So if Thavarian Silk cost 5mil each and you need 3 to make a robe, you'll sell the finished robe on the MB for 1mil, because anything more is too high?

Or someone who has just bought the mats for 15mil off the MB, you'll craft it for them (after spending millions gearing crafters) for a like 5k?

Yeah sure...

I guess it's easy to talk like this when you don't even have 1 craft at lvl50 >.<

I've been called an elitist by my friends a lot. Thing is I *ONLY* play with my friends since I don't want to deal with the majority of the terribads.

I think your friends hit the nail on the head...Just saying!!!
