Are barbs really getting this greedy?

It is because you asked for it an experienced Barb with a Charm.They could be saving their for grinding or doing BHs with it in exchange for doing RB they will need a replacement if charmed at all.I don't see most Barbs with a charm on even us Clerics.What I am saying here is not all experienced Barbs have charms.

Thank you, captain obvious.
I know not all barbs have charms.
But again, like I clearly said, I SHOULD NOT need to give something up out of my own pocket, something I worked for, just because a barb says they need it.

Then you are just going to have to wait for one aren't you.

I clearly said a couple posts back I wouldn't mind waiting for one.
If a barb says he'll only come if I give him a charm, then I wouldn't give him one.
I can be patient and wait for a charmed barb to come along.
Not only that, but there are several things that can go wrong with giving a barb a charm.
1) The barb could quickly run off with the charm I had just gave him.
2) The RB could fail, and the barb would still have himself a pretty charm to keep for himself.
I work hard to get my coins.
If I had spare coins, maybe then I'd offer a charm to a barb to come along.
But no way at all should I have to pay a barb anything to do his job.

I will let the Barbs debate this with you as I was just saying what you said in WC as you made up this thread.

I do agree with barbs/clerics getting a little bit extra to compensate their costs in dungeons etc. I know they eat charms, which are expensive.

However when doing BHs the wine cost has nothing to do with you being a cleric or barb. You just pay when everyone does.

If you demand extra drops for being a barb/cleric in TT when I tanked most of the bosses ur gonna see my angry side.

and I might sell you a charm with a discount, but not give it for free when doing RB.

Clerics and barbs aren't the only classes with costs. Im not asking my squad to give me extra drops cause my herc cost me 30m, right?

Lately i meet a lot barb that do what a venomancer, a caster, a ranged attacker do.

" Keeping his low lv armor until high lv, but still trying to tank. "
Not to mention those kinds usually also very greedy & on instances like to made everyone waiting while he flying slowly. b:worried

Which these all support me more to make a solo build character on end game . . b:sweat (a far away dream)

EVERY barb that NEEDS a charm to do RB, fails much.
It helps by leting you do it relaxed BUT thats it.

Now for TTs, getting the 1st pick is MORE than enough for me it should be more than enough for ANY other barb. TT with a cleric = no charm cost (well unless you fail again), and repair costs are like what? Compared to the 1st pick, nothing at all.

I was gonna write about BHs too buth meh...Its you ppl that fail here, not the barbs.
Ppl fail so much these days...They actually DEMAND a barb for BHs when a lot of other classes can do the tank job.

Bottom line is this: Learn to play the game, learn what each class is capable of doing AND most important of all: Keep in contact with decent ppl! You find a good barb that knows what he is doing and he isnt an idiot? ADD HIM on your FL, try to play with ppl you feel ok with and give chances to other ppl that seem decent too!

NOW GIMMEH MY FREE PLAT CHARM! b:angryb:laugh

I know not all barbs need a charm for RB.
Though ones I've seen that down have one normally let their HP drop too low and end up dying before they can eat their HP food.

Personally I usually don't have difficulty finding a cleric. My faction is full of willing and helpful clerics who I have taught me my trade well. On the other hand, I have found that getting a barb for a BH or a TT can be difficult. If I don't go with faction-mates the barb's I've run into recently (for TT's only) have been not up to par... The last barb I was on a TT with screamed at me because his hp dipped to half hp; I had been healing him the entire time; his wife who was our second cleric was just standing there looking at her nail polish. After we finished that boss I gave him a piece of my mind, in caps.

As a cleric I always give 100% to my job and if I am experiencing irl problems I let the squad know beforehand (i.e. dc problems, etc). I have never asked for more than my share from a TT or a BH (I only ask for wine fee if I'm the wine person).

I think a large part of the problem with barbs now is that many high level high quality barbs have left their chars for newer classes, or other classes. What remains are players who level their characters quickly via oracles, hyper xp stones, whatever; and they don't know how to use their barbs properly but because of the vacancy of the quality barbs; they feel they can demand more than their share because people need barbs.

Personally if I ran into a barb impudent enough to demand something from me that is more than reasonable, I'd tell him/her to go hump a rock because I'm not going to fall for that ****. In my long career I have met many good quality barbs and have friend listed a few; If I were absolutely desperate I could call on them for assistance. Now if I happen to find a nice barb who is having difficulty paying for his repair bill I don't mind at all helping; they just need to ask nicely. I know what it is like to struggle with repair bills.
