Attention fellow Bandits:
When you're confronting kitsch boneheaded attitudes from community, be it in party, or be it in your linkshell, or amongst your friends, please remember this.
THF is by no means a useless job.
Sure. We're going to hit for less than other jobs are going to, but when you look at how daggers are designed to do so, you can't help but admit that that's a given. Explain to those people who brag about their wonderfully awesome 2h weapons that you can basically hit for 3-4times more than their silly weaponskills can if they'd just show you their spinal columns.
Sure, we're going to get outrooted in most stances because of the commonly kitsch resultant job trait Treasure Hunter, which doesn't do anything if someone who doesn't have the trait manages to get the drop on the first kill. But don't be discouraged; They won't be able to do it twice. And if they do it twice, Challenge them thrice. And etc. Their 'luck' will soon run dry.
Sure, you're gonna get laughed at for hitting for 0 damage.
But you know, if you actually leveled up your marksmanship to it's capped level, you wouldn't have to worry about this crap? I mean, not only does it benefit you, but it benefits your PT as well. Use your status bolts, because WAR and DRK and RNG sure as heck aren't going to.
Sure, a 2h DD is going to get picked to a PT before you do.
Big deal. They need to feed their ego, obviously, so let them. How proud are they that think they can completely hold hate without your assistance. I mean, you can't blame them for compensating something they obviously lack. Learn humility and understand your place in the chain of mighty Vana'diel; Once the Blackmages, and the 2h DDs, and the Tanks realize that their PT flowed alot smoothly with just a mere SATA, sit back until they wipe and then move in to pilfer all their gil. If they don't, point out the nearby undead mobs that are looking foward to feasting on their wounds.
Sure, you're going to get outperformed.
But you already know why this is the case; You either need to beef up your gear and skills, or you need to slap your PT members with a halibut and let them know that you can't function under the kitsch conditions that they keep hashing you. Draw a diagram. Teach them what 'Directly Behind the Mob' Means. Get a timer for your mages so that they can concentrate on slowing down their nukes respectably as to not steal hate while you're trying to save their lives. Help your party to understand that you are an insurance policy to magic bursts. By any means necessary, let people know the reason as to what isn't working and what is working for you. Don't accept commonality by any means. Do not conform to the kitsch ways of other lost bandits who deem it okay to be gimp.
Sure, people are going to try to do your job for you.
But they can only do it every minute, whereas you will be able to do it quicker at that point. And If someone's going to do your job, let them know that if they ever expose their vertebrae to you that you will cause the mob to eat them, and show this similar respect to any mage that dares cross the path between you and the tank. Don't lose heart when you see people trying to do your job; take pride in the fact that they want to be more like you.
Sure, you won't get invited to missions, or BCNMs, or ENMs, or ISNMs, or Assaults, or etc.
But when you and your static pass up that mission that people tried to manaburn and failed, you can carve your initials in the burning circle with your dagger that 'lolthf was here'. Let people know that you would rather them think strategically and effectively tactical than to go through a process of nuking, dying, and raising to win a fight.
It would seem that whenever there is a high level of retardation in any circumstance, THF has been opted out as useless. The saga still continues.
