Bad player warning ... TargessFollow

And yet, the point of my second post was missed.. I was bored, had time to waste, saw that and said, "Hey, let's respond to this because it bugged me a little."

I'm not flaming pissed, upset, or anything else.. I remember it is a game..

And, I may be wrong, but I think they were referring a bit more to skill than courtesy.. Even a lot of older players that do end game now have forgotten how they used to be.. People get all this "uber gear" and ****, then call people either not as good as them, or less fortunate, crappy players..

My point was, we were all like that at one time.. We all sucked, we all had crap gear, but since they're good now, they forgot the past..

Probably off topic, but that's my take on what they said with crappy players.. And if I'm wrong, then I suppose I stand corrected on the matter.

Then I guess it would be a misunderstanding..

Then again, if you knew the person stating it better, you would know why I would say it, lol..

And I totally understand the boredom thing. >.>

I'm bored 90% of the time.. Working or otherwise.

Sometimse things come up irl where you have to go NOW.
Sometimes things come up IG where you have to go NOW.

If I have to go for something more important and there isn't even a replacement within the lv range you can be damned sure I'm going to say "Hey guys I g2g and there's nothing our lv to replace me" I'm not going to force myself to xp when I have something better to do wether IRL or IG dosen't matter.

If having to go and not finding a replacement is what makes a bad player then...geez damn well over half of shiva has bad players. I've had many people suddenly have to go and I don't go moaning and pissing over it.

yes, but he didn't say it was bad to wag the peener, and then proceed to do so every time he posts something.

I don't even remember ever doing stuff with you Nieko, so I'm not sure where this strong opinion of yours is coming from. We've had pretty much no in-game contact.

And it's as Tyreck said, I made that comment because Nieko was attacking someone (me?) for wagging their e-peen around when his sig is full of bloating his in-game accomplishments. I didn't criticize such a thing, just pointed out the hypocrisy in his statement.

And Nieko, I thought we covered that my comment was supposed to be sarcastic.

At least this Targuss had the courtesy to say "thank you" to the party before leaving. I can't count the number of times I've had someone "mysteriously" D/C in the middle of a party. But even then, it's not always easy to tell if somebody really is having network issues or just hit reset on their router. Or maybe the guy had something important come up suddenly and had to go, you never know. Yeah, it sucks, but like others have already said it happens all the time at all levels (although I tended to notice it more at lower levels for some reason).

Personally, I always say in /p chat if I need to be leaving party soon precisely to avoid such misunderstandings. I mean, you wouldn't only send the party leader a /tell "afk brb" you would say that in /p chat so the whole party knows, right? I made that mistake last night in a party where I announced I had 1 hour left in /p chat, but only sent a /tell to party leader I had to go @20min and @5min. It must have seemed very abrupt to the rest of the party when I "suddenly", without having said anything else in /p chat after 1 hour warning, said {Thank you}{Party}{See you again!}.

Another good reason for saying it in /p chat is because someone else in the party may have a friend or know someone who might want to come as a replacement if none are seeking your level range. Actually had that happen several times.

So anyway, not taking sides, just saying sometimes stuff comes up and I think common courtesy says to let the whole party know if you need to leave rather than just the party leader. If only to prevent a situation like this one.

Damn it the popcorns not done yet.
I dont have my beer in hand.

Some guy leaves a party, apparently telling the leader he is leaving in an hour but not saying it in party chat like all the cool kids do. Doesn't matter who you say it too, but I guess saying it in party chat would be nicer, so the whole party knows and not just the leader-- however, depends who's running the party, after all. If someone /tell's me they're leaving in a party in an hour, I find a replacement for them within 30 minutes. If I can't find one within 10 minutes, I tell the party that soso is leaving in 20, continue to find replacement. If I can't find one.. downtime oh noes. But at least noone would be so annoyed. That's how I do it anyhow.

Moreover to the point, this drama is silly. No facts are given, and you're all being petty/silly. So may as well just go back ingame and make a new xp party!

And help me get soboro >.>.
