User blog comment:Artemis Paradox/So we've been on MH3 online for a 3 months. What can we say about it now?/@comment-2036320-20100801045948

A lot of high-HR players forget that at some point they themselves were low-level. I was actually having a nice chat with another player about that the other night. We both agreed that we'd rather have a skilled but under-geared HR50 than a 60+ who got his gear through leeching. The lower-level player doesn't even have to know the fight by heart - If they ask questions beforehand then in many cases they are easier to play with than those pompous windbags who will not deviate one iota from their own strategy, not even if circumstances dictate so.

Then there's the players who are ready to abandon a quest because another monster spawned in an unstable environment. Example: Tundra Jho, Barioth shows up. One player pipes up "Oh crap! Abandon and restart!". I mean, come on. It's a Jho quest, and this guy is quaking in his boots because of a Barioth.

While on the topic of Jho: I was playing with a random group, and one of the people was specially annoying. However, this is what blew me over the top: Guy gets jumped. Ok, it happens sometimes. Throw a dung, or struggle and try to get out before getting mauled to death. Does he do any of that? Of course not. At 1/4 health left he types "lol!". Oh, if stares could kill...
