What does it take to be considered a 'good' player?

[Altena]

It's proper forum etiquette to not derail topics by posting in threads about a subject matter that doesn't pertain to the topic at hand. She's perfectly capable of creating her own thread about her question and the community will respond in kind. There was nothing wrong with what the person you quoted said and also has no bearing on the skill of a player. She wasn't being rude, just stating it matter-of-factly.

And create a thread on an already flooded forum when the answer can be given in a simple 1-post reply? That's worse than answering the question there and then.
Oh look at that.. This is the 4th? 5th? post about this. Woops.
Looks like this thread is getting "derailed". All because someone wanted to exhibit their superiority by responding in a snarky manner. All of this could have been avoided by answering the question (or ignoring it), however instead they chose to reply with a degree of snark.

Besides, it is on topic. Responding with snark when someone asks a simple question is not a value I would consider a good player to hold.

If you only knew who diamond orion is...you'd think differently.

Not a hard one to answer regardless who they are. I couldn't care less if they are trolls, or asking simple questions all the time, or derail threads or whatever it is that this person "may do regularly"..
The effort you put into replying to them, could have been used for answering the question.
If you didn't want to answer, then just ignore it and someone else will.
