Citation :
Kevin asked: "You look disdainfully at anyone who gets into raids because they know someone rather than have the skill to be there. That's exactly who you are except the someone you know is gold and you waved it in front of a guild's face and it got you into a raid that you didn't have the skill to get into without the gold. So why is buying your way into a raid legitimate when networking your way into a raid makes you a slacker?"

It's a common question, I get it often in several forms. The short answer: there is nothing wrong with networking. There is everything wrong with "being networked".

I pay something for my raid spot, namely gold (= time not spent earning it for the recipient). The "networking" person gives nothing in return for the services he receives. He merely uses loopholes in the thinking of his victim.

It's quite common that I ask a question from the "cud u boost me in RFC" people: "why should I do it?". The common answer is "being sweet" (I assume it's a small talk for "being nice"). The loophole is simple: social people want to be perceived positively by peers, though this is pointless and useless.

The networking also relates strongly to M&S behavior. I try to be as useful in raids as I can, not only because I'd like to meet challenges but also because I know that by underperforming, I make the "raid for gold" deal worse for them, increasing the chance of termination on their side. If I would wipe the raid every time I get a light or gravity bomb, I could pay a million G, they would still kick me as I destroy the very reason they need gold. Simply speaking the contract lives as long as having me pulls them back smaller than having my gold pushes them forward.

On the other hand the networking person does not have to care about his performance. There is no contract, just parasitism. The victim does not calculate any kind of cost/reward, he simply acts according to his ape-subroutines controlled by the networker. He already rationalizes his behavior like "friendship is more important than bosskills", so why should the M&S bother to run away with the light bomb?

Claiming that "dumb people are dumb people" is simply dumb. Verbally lashing the M&S is pointless and doing this would make this site useless. The purpose of this site is to increase the resistance of non-M&S against "networking".

If you can run away from the light bomb and raid with people who cannot, you are the idiot and not them. They get loot from your efforts. You get nothing for lot of work (as you are already geared and they need it more).

This site is not against the M&S behavior. This site is against the social behavior, feeding, protecting, carrying the M&S just for "being nice", "being friendly", "being ethical". If some magic trick would remove all M&S from the game, they would reappear in months from new players and people getting lazy. If some magic trick would remove the socials, the M&S would disappear (saying "everyone here are arrogant elitist jerks") and would never come back.

Yes, even the badge loot couldn't keep them here. After all, they need someone who holds aggro and some other who heals him while he AoE down the 5 man in the middle of the only fire patch of the instance. Without socials, the badge loot would be easy gear for good beginner players and good player's alts, while would be endless sucking for the M&S. You know what does 5 M&S do in an instance? Blame each other for the wipe.

This is probably the reason why I personally hate the badge loot. After all it does not harm personally me, and makes the recruiting process for raiders just a bit harder (as both beginner good players and M&S will have the same gear and no achievements). What made me angry on this change is that I know that many good, but social people will be doomed to boost M&S during 90-100!!! 5-man runs. Actually it's quite un-goblinish. They get exactly what they deserve. Sucking 100 5-mans with the M&S is proper punishment for being social.


Quelqu'un voit un rapport avec une situation connue?
