"I got god gear" So?Follow

YF took an exp party from the LS to beat Genbu not a long time ago. Drops from Genbu are just the beginning for the rewards of sky. However, no item on the server can substitute for respect.

If someone succeeds in killing a God they have a right to be proud of their accomplishment. It doesn't mean they are a better player, or deserve more respect...but it's a challenge that some people don't engage in.

If you struggle with your LS in an epic battle to kill Kirin, and manage to get the Osode, you have a right to wear it with pride...because you and your LS worked for it.

There's a difference between being proud of one's self, and being obnoxious. It sounds to me like your friend was simply happy with his accomplishment...it doesn't sound like he was saying "I'm a better player than you now".

Since you were friends I'm guessing he was more just looking for a "thumbs up" or a "good job!" from you at slaying a God and obtaining the item.

Mateo we went over this last night in the LS (which you opted to drop the pearl of after I asked you in tell to not be so negative in LS chat). The more you talked about it, the more it seemed like you were just looking for sympathy. Everyone else got that same feeling. There is no need for sympathy here.

You're worried that you won't have the best gear. So. Make up for it with being as skillful as you can be at your job. I picked up DRK after 3 months off on it, went in with only decent gear and my GSD WAY underleveled. I could tell the PT was a bit frustrated with me not having GSD capped (I'm trying to skill it up btw :-b) but at the end of the day they were all complimenting me on being one of the better DRKs they've seen in a long time.

Yes gear can be the first impression you put on a party. Just make sure the impression you leave them with is a good one. There are so many people consumed with having the "uber" gear that they fail to realize what can really make them good; knowing their weaknesses and how to overcome them. Once you figure that out (hint: Don't rely on gear) you'll have people asking you to pt when you're not even LFG.

I'm sorry you didn't find they sympathy you were seeking from the LS, but that's not what we're about. We push hard work to get the things we want. I'm amazed when I pt with LS members I haven't PTed with before because they share this same mindset. They concentrate on what it takes to make their job great and worry about the gear when it becomes available.

Yeah I actually SPed with my DRK for a long time until it caught up to my Monk. It's at 48 now and I like it because it's a very challenging job to play well. (ABS spells, SCs, Hate management)I really wanted to have that DRK AF just because it looked sweet so now I think I'm going to go ahead and get it. Asuran Fists is first priority though. :-b

What level is your SMN? I'm always up for leveling with friends. :-D

Nice. As soon as I start swinging Asuran Fists I'll get DRK to 50. It shouldn't take too long. :P

I've had this sudden urge to level my NIN too. >.>

Yes he he managed to pull ahead of me, it surprised me because I was higher level than him and all of a sudden I saw him one day and he was three or four levels higher than me, I knew that he had more time to play than me but I didn't think he would catch up so quickly. I mean, I've seen a person get a job from 63 to 75 in less than a month and things like that surprise me because quite honestly, I didn't think that was possible.

I opted to drop the pearl because you said you didn't want any problems in the LS and I decided to just drop it and save us all a lot of trouble. Secondly, I wasn't looking for sympathy, I was just irritated and went in to a long rant, I was just venting, as I already stated clearly "I have already come to terms with the fact that I won't get the items I want, I've given up on it, no big deal."

Edit: For some reason I can't quote people here on Alla, not sure why, you people will have to figure out your responses.

Well I would have gotten annoyed again at some point and I saw the problem would have escalated eventually, believe me I made the right decision and it's better off for your LS. I have a feeling after my rant in Jeuno last night that my rep is going to get worse and it won't make the Bladesingers look any better. So, I've realized that I am probably going to go without an LS, I am just going to try and make some pt's here and there and get to 75 drk and then I'll just switch to my next main and just keep going from there, I'll just have to see what things I can do on my own and not worry about the things I can't. For the last time, I am not jealous, I don't care about the rare/ex gear things like that which I wouldn't want to use in an exp pt. I don't care if I can equip it or not, if I don't feel that an item, no matter what it is, is something I don't think I could make use of, I don't want it. I also don't care that he passed by me, I have stopped leveling drk for now and have been working on my subs.

Edit: Left something out

Who's fighting?

i'm not butting in, but
nothing drives me up the wall more than a person who whines and moans about something that cannot be controlled...take it to tells, vent to your friends, or go kill a TW crab with 300 tp or something.

funny how i would say anything why?

i never assumed anything from this post regarding your ls and it's activities. i noted how dumb you were acting regarding a genbu item...simply put, your defensive demeanor and your grasp of cerberus gossip solidifies my point that you are by far, a whiney little boy with a silly attitude.

i can criticize you all i want because my ls has nothing to do this post...nor was it mentioned...so i'm failing to understand how you think you can put me in my place by being..well...an off-topic idiot?

So be it, I'll stop posting and let the thread die.

you keep posting to get the last word in.
be quiet, don't begin to assume you know everything or anything for that matter because a few disgruntled ex-members told you /gasp, things.

it's gossip, because you know nada. you are on the outside looking in.

this is a 'whine/moan about <insertstupidsubjecthere>' clean up the boards this is lame. alla should be semi-useful, as KI isn't.
