First off, Blues, I see your post and will reply to it shortly. Been typing this post up for awhile, so posting it now. Not ignoring you. Just throwing that out there.

Sarinpa1 » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:49 pm[/url]"]So your only argument is "wow bad rp". (Didn't you have a twelve year old combatant? )
If you swap around classes and go "I am suddenly X" and the moment you swap "no thats in the history, i am now this" that's your own shit RP, not something you're forced to.

I hate grinding. I dislike anything related to the repetitive fighting. So I often don't even pay attention to it. But atleast twice a day I hear people on ooc asking about parties.
You also throw up random ideas and posts on the forums so frequently, you surely must be involved enough with the community to have friends......right?

And for your inability to tackle black beasts of your own level.
Man. If you can't devise a tactic, or procure the gear I spoke of that'd help you. You're just BAD. Not the system. YOU. Disclaimer : Peer reviewed opinion.

1) I did indeed have a 10 year old (who aged over time; is presently 17) "combattant" by which I mean "10 year old orphan teaming up with a 16 year old friend to survive after her mother died." ICly, she was actually quite weak. She had good reflexes (Oracle, and all that; her small size ICly attributed to her dodge) but very little stamina (Burned through FP quickly) and was fairly weak (Her basic attacks were made with a fist, as a Wil/Cel Verglas... yeah.) She also spent a time as a summoner, but lost her contracts via brain damage. She talked big, but she couldn't back it up. Sure, you could make the argument that I did indeed LE her, but that was actually mostly from RP exp anyways! While she was eventually able, as she aged, to save enough money to buy a house, she didn't do it alone, and she didn't do it fast.

Honestly, she was a complete joy to RP as. I don't see why you keep bring up the "kid combattant" thing. It was a very small aspect of her character, as well as being trained for it since it was a family tradition to blend the martial and mystic (Hence Verglas/GS. Her mother was my Evoker/Monk. However, at a young age age, the more potent magic was too much for her to handle, so she settled on contracting a weak youkai instead. She has since learned how to use Evoker spells, out of respect to her mother. However, she still feels uncomfortable using those spells.) Her more definining character traits were... well... literally everything else.


2) Note the above. I'm fully capable of having reasons to change classes without it being bad RP. I simply dislike doing so since the way everyone else seems to handle it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. So no. It's not "my shit RP." It's "everyone else's shit RP, which I do not like to join in on." It's the same reason you won't see me sitting against the arena wall, or going "Someone RP with me" in OOC.


3) Most of the times people ask for parties, they're either looking for 45+, or they're looking to shamelessly leech. Literally 2/3 of my non 45+ parties, when I DO somehow manage to party up, have one person or even multiple people just going AFK for the whole dungeon hoping we don't kick them.

Best I can tell no one "actually" random parties at medium level ranges due to multiple party member synergy being bad; Got an engineer and want to set up? You damn well bet someone else is going to berserk rush in and yell at you for not joining them. Want to hang back and heal at the start of a fight? Someone won't have Sneak and will make sure to move right beside you for no apparent reason, to lure things right to you. Want to get a youkai out right at the end for exp, enemy has 1 HP left, and you ask the person to just hit skip since you're faster than the enemy anyways? They'll still attack. Every time. If you have the stats, it will always be in your benefit to solo. You'll control the battlefield. Everything comes after you.


4) I do have friends. However, I have my characters to play with them, and I have my characters to play on my own. A character I really like but is tied down by a group is ICly unavailable when one of them is away, and a character I'm not in the mood to play, but everyone else wants to play the group, is meh. As such, I have my own personal characters completely seperate from any friends and/or acquaintances, and these characters don't have preset teams to work with.


5) Right, because how dare I not have any luck finding gear with perfect dark resist, and how dare my class not do fire damage. Yes, I am the worst, woe is me, I will never amount to anything besides being the worst. Or, you know, you could not be a douchebag about that. Seriously. You say getting dark resist as if everyone can have 100% dark resist by level 20 or something. Newsflash: it doesn't work that way. Especially if the character in question is an MG without fire bullets or fire shells, low vit and defenses, and excels in positioning/kiting, which is completely countered by Dark Calling. The addition of that one skill turned no less than 3 of my characters from expert beast slayers to expert beast prey, instantly.

Sure, I do have the characters that they're a complete joke against, such as my Doriad, who's even got a minor dark weakness, but enough res to laugh at their Roar. But those that don't excel against them... aren't objectively worse! The aforementioned MG actually has a good chance of wrecking the Doriad I just mentioned in PVP, if it came down to that. But no. (Begin Sarcasm) I am bad for having the gall to play something at a disadvantage against beasts. I have learned my lesson and will endeavor to stop being so terrible in the future. Especially when it comes to drops, how dare I not get all the perfectly ideal drops all the time. (End Sarcasm)
