...TopShelf told Nas to roll back all your ZNM gear, do the gilpocalypse and nerf Fishing/RNG into the ground.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. If you lead a horse to water, and it doesn't drink despite obviously dying of dehydration and unable to perform, you can safely take it out back and slip it a lead pill.

However, If you have a thirsty horse, and just assume this one is as retarded as the one someone put down last week thus you don't bother trying to get it water, you are failing the horse and are in the wrong If you put it down.

The point of this game, as I see it, is to double back and lend people a hand to bring them up to your level. Not to kick them because they aren't there yet. Offer a hand, If they take it great! If not? On to the next thing.

firstable, fishing gear doesn't work on this server.
So get rekt
Secondable, I have pretty good gear and never once was asked where to farm by an inferior bro that actually cares to properly gear their char.

Thirdable, if the party sucks just leave.
Fourthable, if gear shaming was more prevalent all your good farming spots would be far more watered down and nms would be much more heavily camped, thus spawning another thread about how the ah sucks and everyone undercuts the shit out of you or how farming is hard and the grind is real. Furthermore people will just end up bitching about how hard it is to get a party. Parties will become scarcer and a tiered gear system will emerge where elitism will most definitely exist.

I agree that people should have somewhat current gear to their level, however, I do not feel like this is the remedy to the problem. Try to enjoy playing with some shitters here and there and enjoy being the strongest in your party. Part of the fun of getting good new gear is seeing how it stacks against other gear

Im in agreement.

Just think a system like this sounds good in theory, would end up creating more problems. It would also take time and energy away from the actual development of the game/server.

I’m going to murder Nas.

Whats the point of you farming for gear while the other person doesn't.

I feel like this falls under the same argument of use vs abuse as dps parsers, and we already know where Nas stands on that.
All I'd like to do is prove that kick attacks (and the items that enhance it) are screwed up, but that's very difficult without a parser.


Side Note: Eastern Shadow is VERY easy to camp, see here for complete info and screenshots:

Considering I joined a Bibiki Bay party recently where a level 34 NIN was using a SINGLE (literally single) level 7 Katana and leather gear... I'd love to see a system like this if only to be able to check on people BEFORE you leave a camp. If you're going to run all the way out to camp only to have someone who is wasting everyone's time and getting carried you should be able to know about it beforehand.

Also, sometimes offering to help people or give them advice doesn't work - they often get combative. When I asked this person why he was using a single katana (maybe he forgot to equip it or something), he told me to "get over it" because it "didn't matter lol". After I brought it up everyone in the party checked him and we all basically decided to reform without him because it was just so darn ridiculous and his response was not appropriate. If he had said something like, "I am low on gil", that's another story... but he reacted poorly.

Tl;dr - I'd like to see this system because as a newer player leveling up the amount of people I run into that don't have level appropriate gear has been pretty darn high.
