    Players should have some player etiquette. It may be the internet, but there are real people behind the characters. Common sense on both sides would be really helpful here. Be on your game if you're playing and if you're in a party and someone isn't pulling their weight, don't sit there and take it. Do something about it. (Help them, boot them, your preference.)

    (And typing out an etiquette class here isn't really helping anyone. It seems like you're just venting. Anyone that would need etiquette classes probably do not use the forums, or they wouldn't look at this thread. You're better off with one-on-one dealings with people like this. Or just no dealings at all.. lol)

    This is me doing something about it from both sides. I asked that particular player to put on some more suitable equipment (as much as auto-translate could), and I made a post about it. Just because someone is new to the game doesn't mean they don't use the boards. After all, where would anyone new go to find help on the game they've just picked up? I have kicked people out of my party, but I really don't like to because it leaves a bad taste in my mouth even if the person really needed to be ejected.

    All this is is a reminder of what is acceptable and what is expected from one player to another. If I have to do things I don't like to support me and you for the sake of mutual benefit, then you will too.

    Sorry, I'll be more clear. My point was people that would need this information, will not view your thread, or at least not even consider it or take it seriously. Dealing with the person in game was the correct action. Making a thread on this topic here... I'm not sure if anyone will benefit, other than people with common experiences that will be venting/sympathizing alongside you.

    What makes you so sure they won't see it and/or take it seriously? Is it a long-winded joke?
