I guess I am just a lousy RP'er but I have been doing a lot of hunting in WC
and N. Ro and have had DE's in my party and we have treated each other as
equals. I also had a Troll stop and bind the wounds on my monk once. I
guess it is really all in the way you treat this game. I know that I play
my paladin a lot different than I do my cleric and ranger. My paladin has
left groups when a necro or SK joined. Kinda snobbish if you ask me but
that is the way this paladin is.

Each member of the party needs to do what they can do best to ensure the
survival and growth of all. Tanks should fight, nukers should nuke and
clerics can fight and heal when needed. I know that I save my mana for a
few buffs but mostly for healing. It really is nice to get in a group that
understands that our need to med to regain our mana. I just love to have a
bard in the party to aid in the healing process also. If a tank is hurt bad
I can get them back to 90% and med back up and let the bard's song do the
rest.

At 12 I am just now starting to see people begin to work together more as a
team and not as a bunch of individuals. If someone does something that
hurts the team then they are told very politely what they did wrong and how
to avoid that in the future. Then of course I am seeing a lot more of what
I consider kill stealing also now.

I really got ticked off today. I was on the flats in N. Ro soloing and was
jumped by a madman. It was a very close fight but he killed me and I had
him down to about a half bubble. What frosted me though was that another
character just stood there and watched even though I asked a couple of times
for help. When I went down unconcious he started to attack to get the easy
experience. To me this is the worst kind of behavior possible but I guess
I will have to learn to live with it.

Thanks again all for all your help and advice,
Walt for Yilari
