Pause and Think before Shouting

[Perrin]

Shout for parties and groups all day long, just use the auto translate... Because I know my LSs anyway pass that info to those of us NOT in Ul'Dah.

However, I agree with the title of the OP... someone today was shouting asking JP players if they even smoke a certain type of pot. Seriously!?

Funniest part about shouts was when the server merge happened. Everyone assumed people from the other server were lost and w/o linkshells and were shouting for recruiting.

Whoa, are you dissin' on the ganj?

only 2 small things bother me about some /sh's
1. When people /sh to fill a party when I'm flagged in that lvl range
2. That JP's seam to ignore the auto trans function, I find it odd the English speaking people use it more
when I'm in Uldah I always watch the 'sh's to see if something pops up that interests me

but yes people /sh'n for an invite should just learn to flag themselves, I've been in countless pt's that I've had to finish building the pt because the leader didn't even know about the search function

whenever people shout asking for invites to parties or raids or whatever i just shout back saying "yea dont you see all the shouts for "said thing"??? i guess they all musta blisted u for shouting like a noob". most the time they quit shouting after that

I'm happy people like the OP aren't from balmung.

People from besaid talk on /shout fairly often. They get on, wish everyone a nice day, ask whats going on, whatever.

If you'd rather have a ghost town just filter it all.

Also, many times things get rolling because you see there's people shouting to get invited. So doing so is also fair.

Yeah, thank 'god'.

Let this thread die please. The entire point of the OP is stupid, selfish and arrogant as other forum users have eloquently stated already. Just let it fade away to the bowels of page 2 or something please.

I hate to generalize but a large portion of the FF fanbase can be pretty snobby. They can be likened to people who turn up their noses at common action flicks and movies like Porky's and Freddy Got Fingered. This is how we end up with the whole "I can't be bothered by the /sh you n00bs! I'm over here smelling my own farts."

For the record, I turn my nose up at those two particular movies cuz I think they're terrible movies, not because I'm snobbish. "I love this thing cuz its so awful that no one loves it!" is not imo a valid reason to avoid nose-turn-upping to said awful thing. I think the bigger issue with players is -i'm not helping you if there is nothing in it for me-.

its been said 1000 times, people need to start using the search function. that way you can chill and wait for a invite anywhere !!
