User blog comment:Artemis Paradox/So we've been on MH3 online for a 3 months. What can we say about it now?/@comment-2036320-20100731221304

It's not just the LS and SA. Every weapon has its own line of selfish players: Greatsword with th wide slash, SnS with those who choose to hit others from behind, Hammer with the whirling attacks and superpounds, Lance with the dash attack, Bowgun with pellets...

What differentiates those playes from the considerate ones is that the latter will not just try to maximize their own dps, but that of the group. I've played with people who - without any previous arrangement - would coordinate the timing of their attacks with me (and vice-versa). One of us had a hammer and the other a GS. We rotated the charge attacks so that one was charging while the other hit. After the hit we rolled to our respective sides. Rinse, repeat. No one got hit, everyone got their attack in, and everything was peachy.

But those are few in between, and it's easy to forget that they exist when we mostly see the other types. The majority of the time I tend to shrug it off and go find another spot.

I just remembered one more annoyance, though: Monster is dead, quest is done, carving time - Every once in a while there's some jerk who will hit others while they are carving. Makes me want to throttle them!
