Well, I had an adverse experience of my own.

I only had a little time to play, so I started a mule in sandy, and started running around leveling and farming rabbit hides...always hoping I will get hooked on a new char and start something fresh...I see a taru with a ? before his name, so I check him, wearing nothing to speak of, then before I know it "Oops" I bumped into him on autorun and went through...he /slaps me, so I /poke him. Next thing I know he calls me a "nub" so I respond "How origional" I noticed the misspelling right after I sent it, so he replies (in short) "nice spelling, you must have had your mommy sign you up to play." It carried on for a while, him sending me random "smart" remarks about me being a "nub" but it all stopped after I told him I was just a mule. He probably blacklisted me. He never explained to me what I did to "offend him so much that I was a nub".

That aside...It really makes me feel bad for some new players coming in, with all the newbie areas so crowded...there were 70+ people in west Ron...an amazing number from what is was just a week ago. I can just imagine a new player, not knowing at all what is going on, suddenly dealing with this from a "seasoned" player. I personally would be ticked off I spent the money to play a game that the first person I interacted with turned out to be such a complete waste of human biomatter.

I know...shrug it off and move on. But in the year and 3 months I have been on FFXI, he was the first overthetopimaturdleetassnugget I have run into, and I wished many bad things to happen to him.

So, if you happen to have been that person, I give you a hearty "Good job representing the mature and welcoming nature of Vanadiel! You deserve a poopcookie!"

Lame

I spend a fair amount of my time in the starting cities crafting and what-not. So I take a personal responsibilty to try and help out the newbies. So far its only been 2, and they where in no way n00b, just new.

They will learn, just need the right guidance, its pretty sad that people act that way though >< Ive never had a run in with someone like that in my new days, but I was pretty timid haha >.>

So make an effort to HELP the new players so that even if they do experiance something like that, they will know its not everyone ^^; We where all new once =^.~=

It only takes afew mins to answer some simple questions and offer some advice. Think about the things you wish you would have known at the start haha >:P

i agree nice post Dex,

If are tired of the spamming of questions by the new players (those that figured out how to communicate :) Just remmber yourself at lvl 1-20. No doubt some of the questions you may have asked othrs were a bit repetitive. Think bout it, you can save someon hours of frustration by lending them 5-10 min of your time.

It is just plain easier to be nice in life so why fight it.
