Yes yes...This is rather a long debate. O_O

I am able to choose my own commands, because my friends know I'm experienced. I know what to do in certain situations, such as they're gonna die(Massive heal spammage. Action slot works well.), certain buffs are dying(Instant rebuff o_O, well..usually instant. Might be a bit delayed at times for whatever reasons.), etc. I've had 62 levels to prepare for my level. Shouldn't I at least know when it's time to heal and loot? Instead of letting people die, I usually end up dying myself, instead of the other way around. Why? I'm trying to keep my plvler alive. If I die and lose experience, I don't fret over it, nor spam RESS PLZZ over and over again. We're in a higher leveled place, away from almost all noobs. There's no one to Ress you, especially if your partner is a Knight. Might as well save time and lodelight.

This doesn't mean I don't listen, however. Whenever I go training with friends, be it real training or a free support, I'm always opening conversation. It's boring to train..shouldn't anyone know that by our level? I keep people alive well enough at least. I'm not perfect, so I might sometimes kill people. Distractions causes me to go about with other stuff at times, and endanger peoples' lives. I still manage to stay with them until they reach their training goal of the day. Listening is obviously very important, especially when it comes to a FS. I didn't mean do your own commands, like do other stuff or anything. I meant it as you take your own time to buff, heal, and other junk. It should be easy to predict the future, especially with Knights. They're born Sta whores. They have massive amounts of HP. They can take a few extra hits while I rebuff, right? I always do stuff like that, yet almost all of the time, they don't die.

For some reason, my friends trust me as a FS. I claim to be horrid already, even though I know lots of things about Flyff, especially my own class. Another thing though. I really train with friends only. Maybe once in a while, I'll party some random Knight(If you don't know by now, I'm a Knight whore. So sexy...in their um...plates of armor o_O?), and help him(When is a Knight a girl, really? Only saw like 4 in my life, and never did I ever get the chance to train with one. Too uncommon these days =/ ) reach some % of exp. I enjoy dropping by next to a friend training, because Flyff is obviously boring. I have to find other ways to entertain myself, and that's a reason. Flyffworld is another reason why I even bother posting stuff and helping people. The community's nice, the threads are kept neat, clean and smooth, and people aren't spamming constant idiotic messages like some boards I know..(No, not just the official Flyff site. I've seen sites that'll scare even the pro-est of pros O_o)

Goals? I DO have goals! o.o One of my many goals is to master all my b...err Not relavent. But I still have a goal to get nice jewelry! *cough* I'm wearing regular old stuff right now(2 Sta +0s, and 2 +2 Plugs), and would actually want a nice replacement for those things. Knowing me, I'd instantly pick a Sta +6 ring > an Int +6. Lots of profit ftw....but wearing it is still nice. Sta is great, especially when your jewelry over-does it XD. I gave up on the idea of getting high +'ed Sta rings, after seeing someone trying to buy one for 60m. They're not necessarily needed...So why bother? They're costly either way. I think I'm just gonna go switch to +'ed Int rings for now, because with my heap, I can take hits from many kinds of monsters.

But anyways, my RM already has a night Wedge set, with a Rori stick. That's good enough for support as it is, especially since it's upgraded. I have other characters. I train them from time to time...Now more than before. Hopefully I can get them high enough to boss hunt decently, and maybe help me earn some money. I don't really have that much of an intention to play with more giants, because 1) my characters are sadly low leveled. I need them to be 6x+ to boss hunt properly, because otherwise, it takes up a lot of time and effort, in exchange for items that don't npc for extremely high prices.(unless you're like hunting for jewelry.) and 2) my RM can't hunt himself. He may have decent buffs, but he'll still need food to survive. 4k HP isn't enough to stand loads of hits from a giant, especially since Star Candy only heals 975.

Another thing, I'm rather a bit judgemental on FS RMs myself. I'm very picky when it comes to RMs, but I don't call them names. I prefer to flame them. It's fun. You should try it out sometime!

*cough* JK. But still. Loads of RMs these days are leveling into the 70s, with crappy buffs. Whatever happened to buff training? It's because of people's greediness that I even bother dealing with the whole issue of FS RMs. They can heal and buff you!, yes, but what happens when the heal is nice but the buffs SUCK? I'm hearing more and more stories of how many FS RMs are going into RM-manship, with buffs 10 and lower. I mean, seriously. Come on. What kind of idiot actually helped them level to 60? Can they SEE that the FS' have bad buffs? It just saddens me to have people like that come mess with the vital RM job like that, and get us flamed for it. Us RMs are getting flamed because some idiots doesn't even know how to press a button 2456 times. You can't train buffs because you have no time? Fine. GO AFK SPAM.

People don't respect our class for many reasons. They can easily find a reason for that, and it's those idiots that don't train buffs and prefer to level all the time. If you're someone who gets pulled into leveling, and don't have time to train buffs once you're logged on, you're excused. Others that have the time, aren't. I don't care what kind of parties RMs train in, but if it's going to be Level Distribution, shouldn't the RMs be expected to have nice buffs? They're leeching good exp for god's sake. Least they could do is have some nice buffs to give in return. This ends yet another one of my FS RMs flaming. *grumbles*

Mmm...Ever since I hit level 60, and became a RM, the first thing I had in mind was to get level 14 buffs....No, seriously. I had like level 10 buffs going into RM. Horrid yes, but that's how I was so I really don't care. After spending several crappy days, trying to get each skill higher, I started to think about more of my class. After discovering a few things, messing up a bit more, leveling some also, I came to 68, mastering my first buff- Heap. All was nice, besides the fact that one of my friend messed with me(Whom I already gotten revenge on. >=3), and I ended up playing with another friend to level to 70. My goal was to hit level 70. Nothing more. This, in fact, became my own Contri-Party-Only-Plox rule. I can only train in Contribution parties, and not worry at all about my level. It's been that way ever since. I enjoy it a lot, to be truthful. I'm glad to see my friends leveling before my eyes. It brings joy to my heart, knowing I helped someone out a bit. It's the only reason why I like supporting so much. I live(on Flyff) to support. It's my only reason that I stayed in Flyff. Others were soon made up as I made other characters.

If I were to not care at all about other people, and leveled only in Lvl Dis, I'd be probably 7x before I left the game. I really have no interest in my own level anymore. I want others to train up, and become more skillful. I'll always be there to support my friends, even though I'll be probably a bit lower leveled than them. It doesn't really matter anyways. I can always train on Lvl Dis whenever I feel like it; I just don't want to....at least not yet. I might or might not switch at all anyways...No telling what the future has in store for me.

Point of my story? To tell you why I bother with Contribution, since Level Distribution is obviously better for FS RMs. The 6x part was an intro, rest an explanation and whatnot.

Hmm...Last comment before I let readers rest their eyes. You started out with 13 friends, I started out with 2. They all left, leaving both you and I left in Flyff. I stayed because I didn't want to go through the hassle of making another character in Aibatt(My friends migrated to Aibatt, later quitting.), so I stuck with Flash. If I were to move to Aibatt too, I wouldn't have had the chance to learn pretty much anything about RMs. I wouldn't have met so many people, so different, yet also so special to me. It's because of Flyff that I've actually had the chance to get to know some people. My buddy list isn't filled up, heck, it's probably at around 100 people tops. I don't know that many people, yet it's already satisfying enough to know a specific few whom I enjoy holding conversations with. Just cause they're over the internet, and you don't know them, doesn't mean that you can get to know them good. Making friendly relationships isn't a bad thing, especially if it turns sour, you can't get harmed. It's the internet. Unless that dude has a hacking/tracing device..which, how many people actually have?, I wouldn't worry so much. Being friendly can get you somewhere...I try to be nice.

I'm not that trustworthy of people, I'm really not. People, however choose to trust me. This is why you need to get to know people more, to develop bonds that can actually help you in Flyff(and maybe life o_O). This is why I actually share stuff/talk to my friends a lot. They get to know me, they like me afterwards. It's always to have friendly relationships, than to trust no one and live in suspicion, right? I seem to prefer friendliness over untrustworthiness anyways. It's only a game. You can't lose much from it.

By the way...Nice quote o.o
