I've been lvling in the dunes recently, and I've noticed something that's progressivly worsened with each return I make. When I first started playing in March 2004, there were alot of new players in the dunes, because of the ps2 release.
The players were inexperienced, but I didn't really mind. Now when I go there I notice wars, with no sub, and rank 1 that run their mouths like they're an expert of gaming. They very rudely bark orders at me, starting as soon as they join the party. Things that are common sense, that I don't need to be told, that haven't been problems.
Example: Puller, pull quicker cuz we need chains, for high xp.
And alot of thier advice is incorrect.
Example: Rdm vokes first and when their hp gets low anyone else who's tanking should voke...
(btw, we had a pld in that pt)
Is it just me, or are the new players acting more high and mighty, and rude than before. I'm sick of these domineering, bossy, people throwing out orders, for bad advice!
I know that there's a chance that these people are return players, this is their second account, or something of that nature. But most of these players in question had no idea what they were talking about, and wouldn't listen to you, if you tried to correct them.
I know a few new players that are out there, we give them pearls, help them with SJ quests, and things like that. I try to teach them correct pt set ups, and everything. If you have people on your friend list, or in your LS could you please remind them of courteous party behavior.
Getting the dunes to be full of experts is a silly thing to hope for. I know dunes will always be full of people that have no idea how to party. But if we could cut down on the rudeness, that would be a victory in my eyes.
So I guess my humble request is, if you know/notice people doing this...please, try to suggest they cool down a little bit. It would make the world a better place.
<sorry this turned out so long, I was just frustrated after this happened so many times today ; ;>
