The Pubbie Point of View

[MongoJerry]

And people wonder why I don't play pubby.

It's fun to laugh at pubbies, but I've also had reverse experiences, where I've grouped up with some incredibly talented people who blew my mind away with tricks and tactics I'd never seen before. Also, I've run into problems by staying in the "comfort zone" of playing within your known group and/or guild. For example, for a while on Tichondrius, I intentionally stopped grouping with some folks from the Amazon Basin. The horror, you think? Well, it's just that I kept partying with a particular subset of Basin folks and when some people made some horrific mistakes, it was like everyone was too afraid to hurt anyone's feelings to say anything about it. I actually started liking pubbie groups for a while, because I knew I could bark at people when they screwed up and sometimes those people would listen and the group would get better. (And people would bark at me and sometimes I'd listen and get better).

It's often fun to play with the people you know, but sometimes you gotta break out and play with other people, too. Often people outside of your comfortable group know a thing or two, too, and you can learn from them.
