Horrible Cleric

Ah. I think I see what you truly don't understand; allow me to explain. The reality is that while the skills of those who are complaining may vary, the fact that this person is so much worse at the game is by far the largest contributing factor to their bad experiences.


Perhaps you might understand better with a anecdote. The parallels won't be exactly the same, but the point that you say you're having trouble with may be more easily understood this way. My apologies if it doesn't quite pan out...

Imagine that there is a shared stable of horses from which the collective owners choose 6 to pull their carriage. While perhaps not all the horses are thoroughbreds, and they may be uncoordinated enough to sometimes lead the carriage into a ditch from time to time, in general the experience is somewhat smooth and the trips are generally a success.

Now imagine that one of the horses in the stable is a complete disaster. Its eyes are crossed, its legs aren't all the same length, and unfortunately it has eaten enough spoiled oats to cause major brain damage. Whenever this retarded horse is hitched up with the others, the trips always end in complete catastrophe. Somehow trips down the road to the neighbor's house end up in the lake not far from it. Whenever they're returning home from the merchant, all the season's goods that they've spent so long saving up for ultimately end up scattered in the mud after a rather disastrous tumble that could have easily been avoided.

Now, a casual outside observer may figure that all the horses from each of the trips are bad and should be taken out back and shot. However, anyone who has personally witnessed it, either while riding the carriage or observing from afar, has seen how the brain-damaged horse pulls and yanks in completely the wrong direction, it trips on its own hooves, it bangs into other horses... those observers could easily ascertain that the true blame lies with the retarded horse. Whereas some of the other horses may sometimes get in trouble due to a lack of training, the constant disasters that occur when the brain-damaged horse is hitched up cannot truly be pinned on the others. Such an observer might be inclined to warn the others, so that they can avoid such disasters in the future and so that they know where the blame really lies. Something is not normal about these expeditions, and that thing is the retarded horse.


Are you able to see the issue now? I want to avoid you not "understanding" again, so I'll spell it out a bit more clearly. Xosire is the retarded horse that keeps dooming the group to disaster with his retarded antics. You are the casual outside observer who concludes that the entire team is to blame. The other users complaining on this forum represent both the other horses, who have been doomed to failure by Xosire, as well as the observers who have witnessed or experienced it and can plainly see that indeed it is Xosire's fault.

I hope that perhaps you are able to more fully grasp the situation; it is not that everyone is blaming some retarded kid for them being terrible at EQ, rather they are blaming some retarded kid for causing their group heaps of trouble and tragedy that would not have otherwise occurred, and are warning other people away from the retarded kid. They don't need to "pack up" and "move on", they simply need to avoid Xosire and their experience will improve; in fact, without the constant stream of needless disasters they will be able to improve their skills, and since they are likely not like the hopeless case that is Xosire, even if the are "terrible at EQ", they will improve. Such is how games are meant to be played; people have varying natural skill but most improve with time... they just need to not be hobbled time after time by a horrible cleric.

Imagine that you don't have to join his group, or allow him to join yours, or agree to be in a group he's already in. Isn't that fucking fantastic?! You don't have to associate with him! Fucking brilliant!

Wow. All my blathering and Bodeanicus hit the nail on the head in just a few words. Listen well to his post, everybody. He managed to exactly get the point of the whole thread.

1. Don't join his group
2. Don't allow him to join yours
3. Don't agree to be in a group he's already in

I would add also that anyone who happens to somehow find themselves in the same group as him leave as soon as it is safe to do so.

And if Xosire or anyone else tries to train you, keep an eye out and bellow the words of a great sage I once had the pleasure of trading barbs with:

Though I guess by now that's pretty much what anyone who's read this thread is already doing.

So I was slaying undead in unrest with my alt, when i saw what looked to be a tormented dead wandering outside near the front steps. So i run up to go solo it - unfortunately it was actually a festering hag!! !

The hag was nuking me hard and i was about to die - but then out of no where i get healed! Xosire ninja healed me! then he helped me kill this festering hag and i got like a ton of exp from it.

He also revived me when i died later on in unrest. Thanks Xosire!

Xosire was spotted in oasis yesterday with 2 sand giants on his tail.

One "good" deed does not outweigh the numerous bad ones Spud.
