The flame stopped a while ago when we stopped sending degrading remarks. :P We're just now debating or moving on to casual discussion.
Anyway, yes most RM that I've partied with don't know what they're suppose to be doing, so I'm always telling them. I need heal, I need SF, I need GT, I need protection, etc. I need this and that. When I happen to play the support role for my high level partner, I understand what I'm suppose to do, but sometimes reaction time can be a bit slow due to the lag and I get commanded like I need to buff this and that now!, or if I pick up an item, priority goes to them. You can hardly ever choose your own command as a support class, because you do have to listen to what your hunting partner tells you, or else the hunt won't go well. Cooperation is key. If you don't listen and go about doing your own thing, your partner is gonna look at you akwardly and have a distrust in your supporting ability.
And yes, I'd like to see a Full Support Ringmaster solo a Giant equal or 1 level lower than themselves, aka not being fed a bone from another player, to acquiring items for themselves. You made not have any financial problems, that's probably because you don't have any ambitious goals to get better items, due to the reason that a FS RM have no need for such items. So you can get away for being low maintenance for a while and having lower standards. However, for other FS RM players that are in financial problems, they MUST seek a Giant Hunting partner. An INT Build Ringmaster rely more on others than others rely on them. Practically any job class can make due without an Support INT RM in the game. An INT build Ringmaster on the other hand can't do anything on their own to level at a comparative rate to other class that can solo so much more effectively. My views on a FS RM is harash, it's because of how Flyff Community is build upon. I personally don't treat the RMs I hunt with like trash, I'm an RM too for crying out loud, I love FS RMs, but I don't love being one. However, if I was a FS RM, I'm sure I would've meet many more players treating me as trash, because even as a Battle RM build, some players tries to take advantage of me thinking I'm FS and can't do crap, but once they see I put on a shield and knuckle and kill my own monster, they let out a big O_O and stay silence in awe.
Honestly, I had the same mindset as you awhile back when my friends were still playing. I would allow them to level ahead of me, me helping them, them helping me, unfortunately they irruptively all gave up on this game. So I'm the only one left playing out of the 13 friends I used to play with, these are unique type of friends in which I've gamed with from other MMO games. So I've known them well and for a while. Sure I can make new friends in Flyff, I have made plenty, but I don't get that same feeling as I would be getting when playing with someone you've known for a while (aka months, years), because it still feels like playing with a stranger and I don't easily trust people. I started this game back in late Nov.
"Let your friend be the sword and you, yourself be the sheath."
"If your sword is broken, or gone amiss, let the sheath be your weapon, as no other sword will be able to fit onto the sheath, that once belonging to it."
