close.... real close.
my "problem" (your word, not mine, I prefer "point" is that many people in game are saying one thing to the new players, namely that he gives them in order, and not telling other options for getting the book, (notice I am not saying WHY they are doing this. I would have to be psychic, but it may be because they were told, or it worked that way for them, or whatever, it does not matter why they are saying it)
BTW, note my posts. they (the quests) are not just out of order... you can get the apple, the tin ore the working with sword, then the apple again, over and over, without getting the WWS one.... that is not out of order, but random, as some have said here already. Big difference. They complain it is out of order, only if they were told there was an order. Stop and think about this point. It matters. If I told you he gives them out randomly, or told you nothing, would you complain that they were "not in order"?
So the newbie gets frustrated and quits. so: my "problem" (again I prefer my "point") is:
If you are going to offer advice to a new player, either put in a qualifier ("I think you can get one from 'X', let me or someone know if that does not work for you") OR understand the new player will assume it is broken if the wise sage advice turns out not exactly right, and I when I then try to help, they assume I am screwing with them.
"You jerk, I know he gives the book, I was told it by someone much more sure than you. that's it, I give up"
so... unless you are really sure, perhaps help in a way that won't discourage? that is my point.
and yes, they should be more patient... but I can not change their patience, can I?
over 500,000 accounts and less than 200 players at any one time. I think we all want this to be successful.
and if you do not like my advice, ignore it. I am not god, a parent of yours, or the leader of this game or forum. It is advice, take it or not.
there, that is all, thanks for listening
I could make this more clear, perhaps, but if you care enough to read it, you will understand. and If you do not care, no amount of explaining will matter, so I will close this here.
