How to *NOT* make friends...

[Tetriana]

Elitism will get you nowhere, especially in a game which requires you to depend on others. Putting others down and acting like your poo doesn't stink doesn't benefit anyone and it certainly isn't helpful to the community. Okay?

I've probably just had the rudest encounter I've ever experienced in the ten years I've been playing mmo's. (Hi Point Zero of Trabia, this is directed at you!! ^^)

So, I'd just finished levelling Conjurer to 20.. got my Cure II etc, happy as can be. I switched back to Marauder then went to join a party for behest in Camp Horizon. I thought I would be helpful and buff everyone up before we headed off.

As soon as I finished buffing everyone this guy decided to lay into me about casting Shock Spikes. He didn't bother to tell me why (feel free to enlighten me as to why I shouldn't use Shock Spikes during behest!).. he just told me not to cast it and after saying "Sorry, why?" He told me that I need to go play single player halo so my gameplay isn't affecting everyone else. He then proceeded with his annoying long macro in five different languages about not hitting monsters that aren't red. That's just the short of it, but you get the gist.

Now, let me give you some advice, Point Zero (and all of you other elitist rude people out there!) The next time this happens why don't you offer some advice or help instead of being such a tool. It might make you a new friend which is entirely more beneficial than a new enemy.

Anyway, has anyone else experienced anything like this?
