What are "rules" of MMOs that you have discovered?

[Cherie]

New rules of MMOs:
1)Anyone who enjoys doing content in a game is a "no-lifer"
2)The real fun in a MMO is gained from picking up gear easily and then showing it off to people to make them in awe of you.
3)Trash mobs? "Ain't nobody got time for dat!" We want to go find a boss alone in a room and kill him in one attempt and grab the loot that comes out of the pinata.
4)Practice? Videos? Strategy? Just find someone else who cares about that stuff and make them join your party! Tell them you care about that stuff and that you farm this mob successfully all the time! I'm just here for the lewt! (Maybe I will let them roll if it drops, but...NAAAA MINE!)
5)Come to the forums if you can't get something on your first go and say it's too hard. This usually results in it being nerfed!

What rules of MMO's have you discovered on your journey?

If you haven't cleared something within 12 hours of it being released, you are a scrubby noob and need to L2P. Thats been the biggest lesson so far.

If you do a ERP miss tell it gets on 4 chan and you become popular. So a MMO rule is that opened mind folks are winners.

These rules are, sadly, pretty accurate. It's all about me, now, fast, easy.

On another note, if they made everything boss fights only and they dropped
10 pieces of loot per kill, no lockouts, and gil was infinite... someone, somewhere
would still complain about something.

And thus life continues in the world of MMOs. Lol.

1) When someone queues into extreme content and say they are new, you are required to give explain to them the entire fight or else you're the bad guy.

1.) Or you could just drop group which is more often the case.

Even though your playing an online game made mostly as a online Co-Op experience people will hate grouping together and demand to do things solo.

If something about the game rubs you the wrong way, complain about it several times on a message board.

[NyneAlexander]

Being a complete jerk to a stranger is totally acceptable if 6/7 of the rest of the party are your friends.

Likewise, easier content (Haukke Manor) can't be cleared unless you have your relic weapon, full AF+1, etc. Also exploiting a dungeon to skip everything is ok, and new players shouldn't dare watch the climax to the main story line because I NEED MAH PHILOS.

dont be a d-bag, pretty much the only rule u need to follow or make others adhere to
