Over half the time, these newer people refuse to do even the simplest of tasks, such as looking these things up on wiki, doing a little work (math) themselves, or even bothering to read the countless existing threads which will fully answer their questions and then some. If after doing these things, they still don't understand or need help, I could understand asking for help and making a thread. Whatever happened to obvious (bad) trolling being nuked or shot down on the first page?
I wouldn't mind helping newer people if they didn't come across as total pants on head HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE idiots who want to do things in their own unique "I'm a snowflake" way, instead of following actual advice that is supported with mathematical evidence. This is a game of numbers, you can't make something work just because you want it to, it is either better than something else or isn't for a given situation. This should be a given when asking for help.
I'm not one to post that much myself, but the rudeness, etc. of some people is called for when the OP (and other posters) themselves comes across in a negative "I'm going to do it my way regardless of what you said so just either agree with me, or shut up" attitude.
tl;dr- I'm not saying people should just be total *** for no reason, but a lot of it could be considered called for given the nature and/or attitude of the OP themselves.
No one likes a douchebag...so help people or stay quiet.
/cheer!
No one likes people who won't take sound advice when given, or refuse to do some work on their own instead of being babied 24/7 either.
Ffxiah is the best non third program helper you can use, not only will it help you with finding out prices of materials you may be wanting to sell / buy (aka item search) but it will also help you find out about guild point items (crafting) found
Guild Patterns also can be used for peoples insight on gear sets you may be looking for ... any questions can ask me or some one else who is not a D-bag that has been using this for ever
Just so you know, technically this site is a third party program.
