So, it's ok for someone like myself, who has spent countless hours fishing and cooking to lvl it and farm/make gil, to get stuck with someone who farms none and refuses to gear himself properly for his job? We aren't asking for elite gear, we are asking for job appropriate gear and a knowledge past 3rd grade reading level when equipping said gear. If that is not what you are looking for in a party member, I think Wolf knows a rdm thats looking for an invite.
I have 100 fishing, spent countless hours farming in just about every zone I can effectly do so in, KSNM/Bcnm/OWNN, camped NASOMI, flipped things on the AH/manipulated markets (typically undercutting/deflation), and done everything endgame this server has to offer to obtain my gear, and carried my fair share of low-effort players. Get off your high horse.
Here's another wild thought, instead of whining and raging over people with trash gear, how about offering to help? Point them in the direction of a good farming spot. Make them grab a KS/Beast seal orb and carry em through an easy win for $ drops. Point them away from the agility gear they want for their Warrior and toward the Strength gear. You know, things that will solve the problem by encouraging someone to up their game, rather than perpetuate it by excluding them and leaving them in the dark.
I agree to an extent, but all too often people take advice as insult and get offended that you offered to help them unsuck their gear. Or they give you the old, its just sj, or "I'm a bard/corsair I get invited anyway". People can do more to help each other out, but more than that ppl need to be able to take some criticism.
