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

Don't suck

So here's MY Definition of a good player ultimately.

I've been playing....6-8 Months? Seems longer than that. As with any MMO I tend to be VERY friendly/forgiving with new players (newbies/sprouts etc). Why? My mentality is pay it forward. You never know what you'll get and having friends helps make the game better really.

As a habit I tended to stalk newbie's -just be friendly, heal, wave, clap/congratulate when they reach a level. etc.

I made a few friends...granted this one isn't a newbie - but she and a couple others got along great with me.

As a habit we would do various things and have fun. We mess up, make mistakes - but laugh and tough it out...and we got to be a really good team regardless.

She recently upgraded to a manor in lavender beds. Was clearing out her small house. As a new player I've been thinking about getting a house - not an easy thing to do these days. I have gil - but not enough.

So I teased - I'll take your house.

They (her significant other) took me seriously. - 3 Days later they gave me the gil and bam - just like that - first time owner of a small house. Likely the drabbest one on the ward - but its a sense of accomplishment.

Why?

I asked that.

I was friendly, kind, patient, passionate about being a team. Go out of my way to help out. Make the game worthwhile when logging in. (Paraphrased)

You guys all go on about knowing your class your role...knowing your rotations...don't suck...don't do this...do this...do that.

I argue that's all good and fine..but it don't mean jack.....when it comes to common....kindness.

You want to be a good player?

Try being kind. You just might be surprised.

PS: Yes I realize I come across salty on some subjects - but I always give a benefit of a doubt....and I try to be very patient when it comes to new players. Bossy so called "experienced" players who ignore things and make snap judgement? Yeah...gloves come off. Example? A paladin joined our group for a roulette - kept losing aggro - I said "Be careful with aggro please " <exact words. - They took offense...and won't play with me it seems...their reply was "Should I Leave?" - I reiterated "No - just be careful " - People are offended at being educated....this is a hazard - but even then you have to try.

Thank you for the perfect example of a bad player. I'm sure you'll go far.

Sorry for someone being nice not fitting within what a "good" player is. I mean if giving houses away could get you closer to killing trials and savage mode bosses, that'd be relevant but some just being nice and giving you their house they won't use anymore is just... nice, not good or skillful in anyways.

You just missed the entire point...it wasn't to do with the house.....maybe you should learn to read more carefully.
