No, it isn't my style to say L2P Scrubs or call people baddies to their face in /tells, vicinity or OOC. I do make these comments to friends (about other people), however, because ultimately it is how I feel. Nevertheless, I have no desire to hurt anyone's feelings or make them feel bad. How someone else chooses to play the game is up to them just as I can choose not to play with them because their playstyle is such an extreme opposite of my own. I don't have a problem with people that have undergeared toons. I'll chat with them and even befriend them.. I just don't want them in my teams. I have friends that are Omni, they're nice people but I don't team them in PvP. I have friends that roleplay.. same thing, cool folks but not my speed so we don't hang out in games. I see the gear thing in the same way. People have different focuses in game. The only thing I think is wrong is trying to passively force people to team with people that simply aren't a good fit with their playstyle by hiding information.
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong but when you say that someone posts smoke screen that indicates they were trying to hide something, right? And when you say I'm finally showing my true colors that means I was previously showing something different?
This was my first post in this thread:
Please tell me exactly what it is I was hiding or what false impression I was giving. I said straight up what I wanted and how I wanted to use it and asked for them to go a step further with it. The conversation down the road is not contradictory to that. I do indeed plan to use it for a myriad of reasons, starting with the one I listed in my first post. This is no different than the way I have always used inspect (as I have outlined in my other posts, most people I encounter already have inspect enabled anyway).
The only smokescreen and revealing of true colors happening is the kind that happens when you join a team with a 220 crat and find out he doesn't realize that he's supposed to have init debuffs when the RL is shouting "Mailaise please! Debuffs please!" and there's no reaction OR A doctor that can't cast their 220 nanos because they don't meet the nanoskill requirement. Guess I'm the only one not entertained about such revelations in the middle of a raid.
