actually, she has a point
remember the whining hunters and miners at Neas?
"plz, make it pvp, the annoying sweaters just make lag"
owner made pvp
same day, hunters and miners "please, take pvp back, they don't kill just the sweaters but us as well!"
next day pvp gone
so i think sweaters aren't that liked by more or less many ppl
a part feels like "the almighty depositer" who stands above sweaters and shows it
most aren't like that, but some
sometimes its is a feeling like "i deposited, i have more right (for loot, deposits, hofs, girls and chances for becoming president)"
a part of those, tend to be quite angry about say a snablesnot hof
the newbie/sweater draining their atrox loot pool
of course, they haven't hunted snablesnots for themselves a long while most likely, but rather went for bigger mobs, i mean, they have more right for loot, right?
other ppl don't understand why they sweat, i mean, RL work brings more
that is correct
but sweating isn't 100% about sweat or peds itself then, it is a challenge as well to get the stuff with sweating
yes, you won't own shadow most likely, but how many depositers will?
another group imo, is some kind of former angry sweater
just got enough peds to buy weapon and some ammo and hunt went bad
so at least piss some ppl off before you quit
of course, it is rather hard to piss ppl off that play a bit longer with an opalo
so you can at least try to kill the mobs of sweaters
another one attacking mobs of sweaters is the hunter who likes to have a meat shield, so maybe sweater dies, but at least he gets some hits before the mob attacks him
but generally, sweaters and newbies are quite nice ppl, especially sweaters who stayed around for a while
there are annoying ones ofc
one being the person who opens a chat
"i need help"
"hm? check my guide at.."
"ped"
"oki, i give you ped for sweat"
and the person runs off usually
if newbies sweat my mob i don't care usually, but since i am having decay (armor, fap) and additional cost if i wait too long due to regeneration of mob i will kill the mob fast
if the mob HP is low i tend to wait til the last beam is gone, but then kill it
if you started to sweat it _again_, thinking i would tank for you on _my_ cost, you are wrong
the annoying ones of those group, are especially newer ppl who run around like chicken and aggro more mobs
which often enough leads to the death of them, sometimes of the hunter
at least the hunter will face more unnecessary cost then
personally, i like sweaters, actually i sweat myself (~2400 pts in SG skill)
especially as mentor i have seen more commitment and determination in some sweaters/non depositers than on depositers
if a longer term sweater/non depositer buys his first pixie, that is a special moment
a depositer won't think much about it, most likely buys at overpriced buyout even
i mean, there is not much behind it
sweaters have a totally other look on 1 ped than a depositer
the value is higher for them
if you see sweating solely for getting pedz, that isn't correct for most either
it is a profession, as much as hunting, mining, crafting (usually less expensive though)
some ppl really sweat for fun and because they like it
not for the peds (that is a nice sideeffect sometimes though
)
so yes, i like sweaters
for those who see it as challenge, that is admireable if you stick around
for those who see it as profession and do it to have fun, who are the ppl trying to tell you that you rather should deposit the $ you got at work to go hunt or whatever, who are they to tell you what to do to have fun?
for those who try to get higher levels in sweating to compete to other high level sweaters, it is a skill, more or less as unimportant/important as any other one, so why care if others belittle it?
for those who sweat to rise the MF profession (and the psyche, which is a HP skill which can't be chipped btw) and mine for nexus to get the ME for using their NB/heal/focus/FS/TP chips to rise profession, who should hold you?
there are many reasons to sweat, peds being the least one sometimes
so sweaters have pretty much as right to be here as anyone else
as much right for hofs, girls and chances for becoming president
you can find rude annoying ppl in any profession with any ped balance or skill
