Worked so...I felt the same way about my Haubergeon. Worked soooo hard for it and refused to EXP with mediocre gear until I obtained it. This feels like that only without implicit self-imperative to measure up to expectations. This is totally for me.<br /><br />Now that I've gotten to know some of the people of the LS a bit better, I understand that much of what they were doing was a sort of "hazing" or jabbing because they knew I was going for it anyway. But I was unprepared for it, mostly because I really didn't know the people in the shell. <br /><br />Generally that type of hazing is reserved for more familiar acquaintances, but apparently some people get familiar a bit more quickly than I'm accustomed to. ;)<br /><br />And thank you, Katella. Still truckin along... about 27% there!Paul Baumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395430748553679591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21730261.post-18681453659578929182009-10-12T13:38:56.872-07:002009-10-12T13:38:56.872-07:00Very childish indeed! Unfortunately, I know plenty...Very childish indeed! Unfortunately, I know plenty of adults who still don't understand etiquette or how to be decent to each other. That skill is gained from maturity as opposed to age I suppose. I know lots of "adults" that play MMO's, but only a handful "mature" ones.. :)<br /><br />Some people are plain just that rude and ego-centric, and others are taking advantage of a side affect of the MMO, where they are still offered this sense of anonymity, so they don't put much thought into that there are real people behind those pixels.. and so they are using it to compensate for something going on in their own lives... <br /><br />I find it interesting (if not maddening) sometimes how opinionated people are about things that shouldn't matter to them.. I mean really, do they really even care that much what specific pole you use? Probably not.. (Although I will say I'm proud of you, far more dedication than I had going after mine..hehe) <br /><br />Its not the destination.. its the journey.. the fun is in the work it takes you to get there. My most prized possession in FFXI was my Noble's Tunic, and that was because of how long and hard I worked for it farming on my own in Pashlow, for many many months. No one helped me get it, it was all out of my own effort. Your fishing rod will be the same... and you will appreciate it because of that I'm impressed! Great Job Frohike!Katellahttp://katella.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
