Comments by a fellow FC member are what got me started on this thread. Generally, we've got a terrific FC, but one member is rather vocal about his experiences with "bad" players during dungeon runs. I've bitten my tongue several times midst his harangues. I, too, have been in some questionable squads -- the kind where my SMN's heals were the only thing keeping the tank alive. But I've caused problems at other times as well; so, you'll never hear me cussing about a failed squad.

I think a lot of *veteran* players have no memory of when they were new to the game, and there are many quick-twitch artists who too readily devalue those who are not so aptly endowed.

I'll never be good in combat, but I do net a ton from the market board -- I keep my six retainers maxed with sale items at all times -- achieving great wealth in-game is my goal. I did just that in WoW over several years, never did a single raid, but having maxed my gold carrying capacity on five alts made me feel like I'd won, and that's a very hard feeling to achieve in an MMO.
