Gimp/Confused/WTF Player Thread XIX: They know what they are doing!

Plus he's named Bigsmellybud. Autoapproval imo.

I managed to have that guy in an Abyssea alliance once. Either he's JP, a masterful troll, or just too retarded to understand it when I called him a failure to his face. Given his other gear he's probably just being intentionally stupid.

As a bonus, from the same run:

Shitty exp all run because no one cared about lights at all and most chests went unopened, plus several mages only going in with one stone and figuring we could start chaining TEs in the first half hour. Also not only did my nukes pull hate despite casting when the mob was at ~50% HP, my Thunder IV somehow outdid one of the other BLM's Burst IIs (without Ascetic's Tonic or day bonus or etc). At first I just tuned out the shittiness, then I started being passive-aggressive about it, then figured fuck it and (among other things) called Nintendo a retarded gimp to his face (also a BRD whose name I forget who decided to afk for about an hour - we kicked him and like half an hour later he noticed and asked to be reinvited). Nothing amusing or worth screenshotting, except for the leader agreeing with me.

tl;dr Like pickup anything, pickup Abyssea sucks.

They probably just merited Burst II just to have access and nothing else put into it, I guess. And T4 is fucking powerful.

@rog - These days, all nouns have the potential to be used as verbs and adjectives. Just like "fail" without that ever so helpful 'ed' at the end of it. heh

;\ I know ToM mobs are not hard, but is there a reason to gear yourself like this.. ever? oh well, afk while they kill the shit for me. grip is Platinum

[Draylo]

If that's the same guy, you should see his 5/5 AF flame ring drg.


Edit: beaten by thorny, I should really read the thread before posting .

Yeah that guy is pretty terrible, and he definitely speaks English.

You really need to be able to view gear before inviting...

Don't invite anyone outside of wg, and not in mh, so you can check them before hand. You may be running all over wg while making a party, but it's definitely worth it.

That's what I do. But, I was replacing a Member.

I'd agree with you on this, but after playing WoW for a month, I can tell you right now that would be a very bad idea, and I hope to christ they don't implement something like that on XIV.

Yes its great if you're a seasoned player, but when you're required to have certain gear to do events where you could be getting this gear, its kinda retarded. Point being, WoW revolves on some shitty add-on called gear score. It no longer bothers me, but it was bum fuck retarded trying to do shit for gear back when I first got 80.

Then again, gimp player is gimp.

To be honest, you just have played at a bad time to play. Gearscore is fairly new and the WoW population is dumb enough to believe its worth using. Armory was a lovely tool for forming 5 mans before Gearscore/random dungeon came around.
All for being able to see other peoples gear before invite.

And let me guess, never once in FFXI did you join a party (exp, nyzul, everything else) and leave because people had shitty gear, right? Granted, the average idiot in WoW thinks that there's no way someone with worse gear can keep up with someone with better gear, which you definitely can if you're good and the player with better gear sucks, but suck it up and work your way up on gear.

It is "worth using". It's just used incorrectly a lot of the time. Good gear in no way implies a good player, as we're all aware of here. Sure, a lot of wow /shout idiots think it does, but a lot of idiots in FFXI think it does also, whereas here on BG most people realize that terrible players can easily get good gear. In the end though, unless you want to actually interview every person, given everything else being equal/unknown, you want the player with better gear.

[Ohaigaiz]

Gearscore works like this - 'What's your GS?' .. '5500' .. 'You must have OK gear, better than player with 4500 GS. You can come'.

If they suck, you kick them. Same thing applies in FFXI... I wouldn't let Despain join my alt ICC 25 run back when I played WoW because his gear sucks and I want to breeze through it. Nothing personal, it's just how the game is played. If you look like you suck, you're probably going to fucking suck.

You'll have to forgive my gear and plugins, it's the best fire resist set I had for the Wyrm KS99.

Used to be a sponsor in my Dynamis LS. I pitty his relic GKT.

[seiji]

beside ammo it's good WS gear

[Despain]

People hate on Vawn way too much.

Move the fuck on. He has a relic, you don't. Go cry a river elsewhere.

This is why people don't (moreso before the update) take DNCs seriously. They make the good/well gear ones look awful by association. It's heartbreaking to look at that picture.

I must be the exception, I've gotten into 3 pickup abyssea runs, and was about to takes my 3 mains to 80 in there to cap, and cap merits...

[Narol]

Law of averages.

I mean, I've had some good pickup Abysseas but the majority of them are like the one I was bitching about.
