why is every1 so selfish?

[Carl the Llama]

is it jus Unicorn, or do all the servers have selfish people, take yesterday for example, i was in windy and i was shouting "doe's ne1 know what a perpetual hourglass is for?" and did 1 person help me out... of corse they didnt, i asked a mentor and lo and behold, he ignored me also, and when i first went to windy i shouted "does ne1 know where the sandorian consul is and i got 1 reply it was "yes i do know where it is... i asked him where and he replyed "look for it" i mean how rude is that, people like that really spoil the game why cant every1 be nice and cortous like me, whenever some1 shout's for help i always try my best to help them out id even try asking my ls buddies, but no1 ever seem's to return the favor. ok thanks for listening to my rant im going to go sluk in the corner now

Because you're in the wrong server!

Pandemonium = Nicest server around! ... *coughs*


But anyways, I always help out if I can. Usually because I'm always bored of leveling so I go and do other stuff, like help people with quests or missions or whatever my level allows. ^_^ And if I can't help, I ask my LS or friends

[eestlinc]

see, video games do teach valuable life lessons: most people are jerks.

You see at the Linkshell RedLotus and on midgardsormr we like to treat everyopne with the greatest respect. I myself would like to help anyone with anything. If Im in sandy and someone needs my help in windy I would gladly go over to them and help. We like to help new players by; helping with missions, giving information, and the rights from wrongs, etc.

So it might just be your serve ^^ so come onto ours ^^ we love it.

I've met a lot of really stupid people in the game, but not too many flat out jerks.

When I first started on Asura, I remember random people asking me if I was new and giving me tips and gil/equipment. The number of really helpful, friendly people I've met in the game far outnumbers the number of jerks I've met.

Just a few days ago I was in leveling in La Theine, and was about to die when a white mage got off her chocobo and helped me. That was nice.

Also, if you really want people to take you seriously and help you, try actually spelling out "anyone" rather than saying "ne1" I'm sure you'll get a lot more responses.

The fact is that whenever i see slang on the net like ne1 or r u ok? that usually means that person is a young or immature person and that its not worth my time usually because most of them do not ever put forth the effort in the game and like to mooch and generally rude. Not to say all are but alot of them are like that. First impression based on the way you type is a very important part of how people percieve you on the internet.

The point is that in sandy to find consulates there is an easy to do it. I can see where that guy came from. Its not that hard, pull out your map and look for it. If you dont find it ask your Linkshell (you DO have one right?) or a friend. If you still dotn know you can consul the websites they have floating around the net for help. Just put forth the effort, i never knew where the consul was when i first went to sandoria but when i look at the map i noted key things and i found it eventually when i went to NSand.

Most Mentors are in it for the high and mighty non-newb thing. Thats all.

There ARE some jerks admittingly and thats why i wont usually help others unless theres a mutual benefit or that is a friend or a friend of a friend.

Plus, the only requirement of being a Mentor is having a level 30 job. Most people wing it to level 30, so I don't really see how anyone can rely on a Mentor. I think it was a silly thing to be introduced at that level.

lol i didn't wing it to lvl 30 heck i was reckless on the way to getting my first job to lvl 30.It was tough i soloed my WAR from lvl 1-6 then started PTing and learning aobut different tactics and all that kewl stuff.Then at lvl 17 me and a partner did our rank 3 quest.Ten at lvl 20 i couldn't get into PTs so i had to solo to lvl 25.I did the keys with my partner erikorn akak zefal now.Then headed for kazham.Werepeople treated me like crap but wanted me to tank but refused to heal me between fights and during fights yet i had to tank.And when somethign went wrong.I get kicked.Like lets see the tank dies due to WHM rejection towards healing me.Thent he PT leader gets mad at me and kicks me.Happened several times.I struggled to get my WAR to lvl 30 but when i did.Man I was glad.But then I got kicked out of Fallen Trinity Linkshell.They suck and it was really wat soul reaper said.HE just smarted off at me.I told grania and gilean.and he apologized so no biggy.I was offered to get back in but naw i turned it down.Then i decided to go with Bard.Before that i reached rank 5 .Then wanted to go Bard.It was even tougher.once at lvl 9 me and zefal aka erikorn headed forMhaura made it there.He told me about this LS I wa like kewl. Anyway during the ship ride to selbina we got attacked by pirates.I ran and hid me and zefal.Anyway when we made it to selbina i was greeted by a galka and he gave me a pearl to the new ls zefal was telling me about.Then thats were my bard's tale starts lol.

also people who use internet slang aren't really immature you don't know until you have a personal conversation with them.I do it sometimes just to make more space so i can say a lot lol.

I agree with lion, the way you type shows kinda how mature you are, and how lazy. This applies really hard to Japanese players (which are awesome to party with if you havent yet) They are all about respect and stuff like that. There are MANY guides on the internet and such that explain everything you couuld ever want to know. Oh, and please and thank you go a long way.... :-P

Firstly, I don't care about your life story. =P A lot of people do wing it to level 30, and for those who don't, level 30 is a small level. You don't learn very much on your first job to level 30 - at all.

Edit: Okay I read the rest of your post, and it does seem like you winged it to 30. =P

Secondly, internet slang is horrible. It hurts the eyes of so many. If you wanted to type more, then just type it properly. It doesn't hurt so much then.

[Vyk]

I agree. Though I'm not an FFXI player. I used to use netslang/shorthand myself. But now I realize it's a disgraceful butchery of our language and find it hard to tolerate conversations with people that use it, because it really just grates my nerves. And yes, it does make you seem really immature and impatient. Which is not something people want from someone who supposedly needs their help. They want to help people who are willing to try first, and are appreciative when help is given when it really is needed and such.
