I just yelled at a WHM today at the same camp for not having Silena. Yelled HARD too. I felt a little bad afterward. I know there are a lot of meta-level contextual things going on here that would take me a lot of time to explain. You know when you were a little kid your father spanked you after catching you running into the street? He needed to scare you a little bit for you own good. I know the metaphor is rough but you have unknowingly put yourself and others in a very stressful situation, again for reasons that are too difficult to easily articulate in a way you will easily understand because they are subtle and complex yet still VERY important if you get it wrong.
1. Why it's a bad idea to level WHM first (plz consider RDM first),
2. Why NIN need silena so bad (esp w that comp)
3. How broken farming is but no one wants to admit
4. Meta politics w nasomi (ie. Effects of recent DDOS / RMT)
To all future party members, do not assume we enjoy "spanking" you when we decide that it is a necessary evil to do so. Sorry for the weird metaphor.
Your father spanked you when you ran into the road because you almost died.... not because you had to lose a few XP in a video game. Also.. don't spank your kids.
I'm not even sure what you mean about the "meta-contextual" things that you'd have to explain... but you ought to carry some echo drops.
