Players To Watch Out For - The ReturnFollow

Oh, so that's why you keep cheering at me. I wasn't sure if it was because we're both BST or not.

Still looking out for your typos!

"Will someone please distract this pain-in-the-**** taru so I can have some peace?" ;)

I'm doing that a lot lately, I've been playing Kubla more than Sioux, so I keep saying hi to people and they haven't a clue who I am. Alas, Kubla will always just be Sioux: Redux.

I think I ran into you three or four times that day when I saw you in Qufim. It's true, Majivo: I hax. ;)

I have to agree with Seikas... several months ago he stalked me around the world and continuely did a /em slaps Jadennyte's *** emote. He wouldn't leave me alone till I threatened to call a GM on him. He is also one of the people that threatened to MPK Flourite when I offered free ports after I first got my spells. He is a rude idiot.

That's really odd - I've had nothing but good experience with him... I have seen him show other people the ropes, and he even taught me a few things I didn't know (and I thought I had harvesting nailed lol)... Are you sure there wasn't more to it?

I guess it could be one of those YMMV situations, but the guy practically lives to help people from what *I* have seen, so...

NB he's also my little brother, and for a 9 year old I think he's pretty smart...

No wonder he's here on the bad players list.

I have an 11 year old son and I let him play for about 2 weeks. Once I saw him on a pt..I quickly took him off the game. He would run off mid battle or just simple log off w/o telling his pt members during a pull.

Regardless of how smart he is, he obviously doesn't have any concept of how to be curteous to other players. What 9 year old does?

Bump. Not at all because some people don't seem to know this exists. >>

I really agree with this in premise. It would be nice if it could be done, but in practice, this just doesn't really happen and shouldn't necessarily have to.
I know I'm not the only player who has been in a party with someone playing a job that you also play, and recognizing that the guy is doing it ineffectively. Sometimes there's time to explain what the other player could do differently, but I'd say that the only real time that this is appropriate is in the Dunes or Qufim. Simple experience should do the teaching afterward.

I've levelled with players on Sioux that made me cringe. Guys in their late 60's and 70's that just confuse the crap out of me; a 62 BLM that casts Rasp over and over? A 65 WHM that repeatedly misses deadly status effects? A 60 DRK that can't make a skillchain to save his life?
I don't think I'm alone in saying that if these guys don't know how to play yet, little old me isn't going to get through to them. Chances are I'd just get insulted even if I did have the time to try.

In the Dunes, yeah, I agree, don't judge players on technicalities of their jobs. A THF that doesn't pull very well at level 11 is probably a very good WHM and a nice person, and at level 60 she'll probably be a great puller. If your tank isn't great, well, welcome to Valkurm Dunes, you're probably not such a hot BRD either. ;)

I'm just being technical, but it's important to remember that people don't usually get listed here because the person listing him is just being a di[b][/b]ck. There's an acceptable level of crappiness at every level, but the higher you go the thinner that highway gets.

Yahira


One last night I was helping bugybu from my Ls get avatar titan,well everything was going fine I got hate so I tank it as rdm/blm and I had full life I was cureing most of the dmg titan caused to everyone.

Yahira is a rdm/nin she had about 400 mp and I got hit with 2 hour and titan was at 10% hp 1 ws would of killed it, I go can I get a cure she says I am here for bugybu I dont want to die by cureing you or anyone else for that fact me and slick from my Ls go wtf and she said sorry I dont die for strangers I go you have 100% health and you wanted to tank she goes silent goes I told you I wasnt gonna cure anyone and I dont want to die about this time I am thinking damn I would not let this person into dynamis runs if you play like this thats pretty cold when your in a team its team work not just 1 person who isnt willing to help others for that I believe she is the worst rdm I have ever come acrossed and has made your mark in the watch out for these players list have a good day.

I died and all it took was for her to cure IV me to get hate back.

It sounds like you don't have much experience with modern day children... Anyway there are two points you should consider...

1. He hasn't played ffxi since october and isn't likely to since my ps2 is now in my dorm room.

2. If you see that character harvesting anymore it's me, not him so bare that in mind.

Having said that I will add that when I am home for breaks if he wants to play I will let him, because I have never seen the behaviour you describe, and to be frank I don't really believe he was out of line unprovoked. The question I want to ask is what did you do to him to precipitate the event?

L

Ok I owe you an apology. What you said struck a chord. I know he feels very strongly that what you described is cheating, but I didn't know he actually confronted people over it.

If he plays again he won't do that. Sorry if he upset you.

L

No problem Laural. Like I said, I understand the instinct to just defend your brother, but there's two sides to every story. :) If he believes so strongly that that's cheating you might want to explain to him how harvesting points work, what with the immediate respawns and all. There's always enough to go around.

I dunno. Could be the way he is, however, he was in my party recently, DCed and came back right away. It's not very commonplace in these modern days, but he *could* simply have a crappy connection.

I want to add someone to this list..

A Japanese WAR by the name of Vana
Here was the situation. Praty set up was:
Pld
Thf(me)
War(Vana)
Smn
Whm
Brd

We went to Dragon's Aery to exp. As soon as we get there first thing she/he did was set QM on her/himself. Now I didn't notice it myself but a couple of the pty members did and called her/him on it. It was set back to pool. ok, no problem, right? wrong.

She/he flat out refused to Skillchain because we didn't have a Blm, and did not want the Smn to use avatars to MB on anything.. All she/he was using was a GA, and made it clear she/he was not going to use a WS any of us could use to SC to for any type of damage to the spiders.

After Smn has words with her/him, Smn gets booted.. Then Vana just happens to DC.

BTW This is no reflection on Japanese players but she/he happened to be.
