I mean stuffs like 'what jobs have you got in your party? and the lvl range?' .... are there new rules if you answer questions like that, you will get banned? O.o;;
I have had 2 times being turned down because I asked... and my friend even got a direct turndown: 'nevermind'...
I mean, what do people expect when they just send a tell 'Hi*invites*' 'Party?*invites*'.... err.. yes I am seeking party, but I would like to know if I am joining a group of weird players or a bunch of good players.... It's no different from just sending an invite without tell... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-19-2004, 12:11 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Posts: 156 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 195 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 195 Donate | i guess the "nevermind"-pts are the ones with 5 wars using magesubs and 1h swords. ^^  jobs: whm 67, blm 37, thf 37, war 30, mnk 58.

If I'm forming a party, I'd be pleased to be asked such questions... it tells me I'm getting a player who knows what they're about.  Stormwalker

I'd be highly cautious with someone that doesn't give the lowdown on the pt setup; depending on the level range you could figure it out by doing a /sea region and see who the ptm's are, but even then...
btw, I dont see too much of a problem with 1-hand sword only wars (disregarding their sub, anyway). At least that'll allow for a liquefaction toss for a fusion WS. Spears are tolerable since up to 30 there are a lot of mandras anyway, though I feel for them future drg's-to-be which don't realize the state of that job. If they're a war with only scythes though... yeah. I guess it'd be amusing if they subbed BLM and were pretending they were a wannabe DRK, though. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-21-2004, 03:49 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Member Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 841 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 857 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 857 Donate | i always ask what they got, you dont know if what the pt could be composed of. or what level range so exp isnt nerfed  you are here alone again, in your sweet insanity
all to calm, you hide yourself from reality

I`ve had my fill of getting the "so and so invites you to his party" without a tell first,joining the party ,as a red mage,and finding 5 melle players and that famous message "you main healer,ok?"  Tabmow
