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.
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.
Are you listening to yourself? You really think everyone has the time to teach every player who doesn't want to farm ? Were supposed to fit that in our schedules? You do realize there is google out there for people. Unlike a horse, they know how to use a computer and search the internet, after all they did find this server. Your analogy is pointless here. I know I wouldn't want to log in just to teach every player I see how to farm.
