The higher lv I reach the more I found that ppl in this world r all not nice..

b:surrender welcome to any world... even the real one lol when we are young we are naive and things are simple; the world consists of as far as we can see and that is huge to us...
then we grow up and realize the world we grew up in isnt what we thought it was (and a lot more complicated) b:chuckle and you learn to deal with it, grow some thick skin and someday, you might realize that the world is what you make it for yourself.
there are good people out there too

that, seconded. the process of growing up seems to largely involve acquiring enough scars that, when hurt, you eventually won't be able to bleed anymore.

i always considered the people who randomly added to friendlist to be asses so ya...good job there

Cool story bro.

cool meme bro

I don't add random invites from people I've never even talked to my friends list. It's not arrogance, or because I dislike low levels, or anything of that nature. It's because I don't know the person. If we did a run together, and I thought you were good and you send me an invite, I may send one back. But that's about the extent of the unknowns on my list. Why don't you try talking to people, and whispering them first? Get to know each other. You would propose to someone on a first date would you? You wouldn't suggest being girlfriend and boyfriend to someone you just met at a bar? What about in real life? Would you randomly walk up to some stranger, hug them and ask them be your friend? Well similar feelings apply to people's friends list. They only get so many spaces, so they want to get to know people before they add them. People they know are competent and will help them with this or that. Or people they like to talk to. I suggest joining a faction and talking to the people there. You'll find you will make more friends.


Happy Gaming

PWI fail . Nuff said b:bye

i'll usually accept friend requests from people i've squadded with, unless i thought them utter failures. this is usually harmless, and i typically never hear from them again.

i'll not add them to my list in turn, however, unless i feel i know them and like them.

my friends list is very short.

My friends list is very short as well lol, i dont mind it that way either. I shun the random friends request i dont know them. Nor do i need to know them. I just play to lvl. I have one good friend that i personally know and thats all i need.

And its funny how sometimes i do add some who request to be friend cause at one point ur talkin alot during a bh, yadda yadda they like ur attitude. But next day ur on and that person is on, and no real conversation is taking place... so what was the point in adding me...

I prefer to be remembered as the one who was playing their toon really well during any instance. I often get "hey i remember you!" momentb:cute

rofl, great jobs mods. How about you leave thread title's alone already???

Calling people an ******* in a title is perfectly fine because that is what a LOT of the people in this game are.

The only reason low levels aren't **** you over is because they don't know how to yet.

I see high levels use low levels all the time without them realizing it with fbs for the rep. Most of the time its the only time a high level will help a low level. I've had several friends over the years ask me for help because the only time their faction would help them with bosses is if it was a tabbed FB. Which after explaining to them this simple fact they would realize they were getting used.

I help lowbies from time to time. Tanked bh51 for a poor lowbie that had dilligantly remaiend at Head hunter for nearly an hour looking for squad before I took pitty on them and lent them a hand. Helped a newb earlier with the little boss in plume since I happened to be at that banker.

I just don't friend just anyone though. Especially lowbies simply because helping them can become a problematic request by them and the only reason they communicate with me is to kill bosses for them. I remove people all the time because of the shallow relationship I developed with them. Usually the only communication I get is for the same thing they wanted to add me in the first place.

I've probably helped maybe 2 random people. And it was because they asked in a polite way. One I watched die probably 15 times trying to do the same boss over and over again.

I don't accept random people invites for the pure fact, my friends list is maxed. I have to delete someone who i do talk to, for a random person I don't know. Being a 5.0 sin most people like to try and add me for whatever instance they can. So I'm not keen on adding people.

The More You Know

I refuse random invites myself.

I've never had a major problem with beggers though, since I would just pretend to be afk and they would leave after awhile (I have a tendency to just stand in one place and enjoy the view).

I only started expending my friends list when I got to FC. Mainly adding people to my list is either......

1. Very good friends that I've known since low levels.

2. Good players that you can pm if you need a certain class for a squad.

I will stress that they are all nice players too since I don't add nasty people no matter how well they play the game.

I never send a friend list to a person I do not know, not even those whom I have run BH`s,

etc with, if somebody wants to add me I try to be polite and add them back, but after I do

not even speak to them ever again pretty much. Only had 1 idiot which kept asking me for

money and do his BH`s (soon he was b-listed). you just need to try and find decent people, It`s like in live to find

good people you need to go through all the d1cks first. In addition, I cannot wait till PWI

extends b-list, mine is always full with a lot more people to add x.x

I usually reserve my friends list for people I really know or come to really know in game. It has been interesting on my barb alt as I usually just get friend requests at the end of fcs just because I'm playing a barb. Yes I know barbs are rare for fc, but just because I did a run with you doesn't mean I'll going to friend you.

Based on what Ive learned on my own, there is also a class variable to consider. There seems to be a totem pole, so to speak, which places our classes in order of usefulness and thus changes the attitude of certain players towards certain classes. For instance, one might look like this:

Assassin - an almost completely self suficient class with the potential to solo most instances by endgame. Nuff said.

Cleric/mystic - tools for healing. Not necessarily wanted, but almost always needed.

Barbarian/seeker - also tools, but for tanking. No one wants to suffer the boss' wrath. A necessity in most if not all squads until about lvl 90.

Archer - not particularly recognized until 90+ when they're found more useful, ironically, without their bow. Unfortunately falls victim to the illusion that aps>dps.

Blademaster - with a vast variation of skills and builds, the BM is a grey area as far as usefulness. Ideally they are masters of stun and aoe, but a combination/variation of the above classes would render the BM fairly useless unless it were a specific build (ie: aps, vit/axe.)

Wizard - though very powerful as far as dps, the aps illusion has made it a bit harder to get into high level squads.

Veno - a hit or miss. Herc can make for a great tank, but Is very expensive. Most venos aren't wanted in squads despite their ability to weaken bosses and provide sparks.

Psychic - see wizard.

Of course this isn't my personal Idea, its just what I happen to see trending whenever I try to squad.

So you see, Its not just personality. You pretty much set yourself up the moment you choose your class.

Whew..that was a lot to do on my phone
