PL Woes

[Arcell]

PL or not, a vast majority of players out there will not know how to properly play their class/job/role. Even before PL was a big thing, I ran into tons of bad players who had no idea what they were doing. It is up to each person to want to better themselves and learn how to play a particular role well. If that desire is not there, it does not matter how they leveled. They will not know how to play that role well.

Personally, and I tell everyone this at some point, I don't care how anyone gets their levels as long as they know how to play the role they have taken as their main(s). If someone intends to play a class/job often, I expect them to know how to play it well. If they don't, I would suggest that they either learn or play something they do know well. As a courtesy, I do the same. I have CNJ/WHM at 50, full AF and all. However because I know I'm not a great healer, I have no intention of playing it. If I were to decide to play it though, I would take the time to learn how to effectively utilize it in the healer role. That is a personal motivation and desire that must exist in order for someone to play well.

Edit: I'm not saying PL is right or the way to go. I'm just saying that this issue exists regardless of PL. PL may not help things but it does not cause this issue. A bad player will always be a bad player, regardless of how they hit cap, unless they find the desire to better themselves.
