WHERE DO YOU THINK

W/

This thread made me lol, you need the ursans to kill stuff and they need you to heal them, And if you are doing DoA/UW/FoW you are making plenty more then 1k. Deal with it.
EDIT: OMFG, CRAZY IDEA!, don't do ursan runs. OMFG WAS'NT THAT BRILLIANT!

half of all the people their heroes aren't good
some people invest money in hero armor with runes and other equipment for optimal function
that's why i don't need real monks cuz mine are perfectly geared up

I don't see why monks should have to pay for the team's consumables. In fact, if the team went without a monk, they'd be using more consumables to make up for the fact that they're not being healed. If anything, the Monks in the party are subtracting from the needed cost to buy consumables for that trip.

I'm not familiar with all this charging other party members 1k per consumable set since I been outa the game lately.. but seriously? Why would you bother bein' upset about blowin' a measly 1k per consumable set when you're a monk? Monks are insanely rich. My monk made all my other characters rich as well. Stop bein' a spoiled monk, man. I know you like money but just don't take it so far otherwise it ends up in you acting up and making a thread like this one.

Good luck with your strike. Just please hold it somewhere out of the way where all QQers can have plenty of room to roam around without subjecting other players to the nonsense. May I suggest the Hengeof Denravi? It's very big, a lovely setting, and you won't have to share space with non-striking people. (more room for y'all!)

If you're to cheap to contribute a measely 1k to the person who took the time to go out and farm/buy the materials to get a con set, you should just go back to n00b island or pre-searing and hang out there where 1K IS quite a good chunk of change, instead of hanging out in places where you can get 1k in about 5 minutes!

What I would go on strike for is Ursans blaming the monks when they die! It's ridiculous for them to expect 2 monks to heal them after they aggro'd 20 ice imps. They all run around aggroing EVERYTHING in sight, it's hard when you have 6 leeroys in your team, then when they run too far from us and die they shout "OMG NUB M0NKZ!!11!"

Also, in ToA i always find that there seem to be many more HB monks LFP than Ursans

lol most ursan groups are corrupt anyways.
I just ran an imbagon and synergize with my heroes when doing a mission. Then when I am done I pm the ursan group if they completed the mission because I did, and if they didn't, I would laugh at them out of pure spite.

Its not that ursan teams are bad. Its that the community in general needs a buff towards maturity attribute points, lol.

Lol you are either really bad at reading , or dense. It is not the 1k, it is the point. (if you took the time to read OP, or any other post, you would comprehend my statement).

Plain out, we DONT need con sets. If they make you happy, use them, but don't "expect payment". I'll gladly donate 1k, IF the group is sucking big, and truly needs the boost.

Technically all the area's are beatable with ease, w/o con sets. Even just as easy as w/ sets, if you got 2 decent monks, and ursans who don't aggro the entire radar O_o.

If every ursan did their job properly, Essence would be the only thing included in the set. There should be no need for increased health, as:
A) ursan does that already
B) you should be keeping the mobs away from the monks in the first place.

OP (and others of a similiar bent), you have a choice:
1) Advertise your monking services as *specifically* only for groups that don't use consets, and then you don't have to worry about them
2) Accept that consets will be a part of the run (and that you'll beneft from them too) and pay your share of the costs
3) Make your own group, and GLFM with your own rules and make a group you're happy with
4) Don't group. H&H the area yourself.

Everyone should bring something (in terms of ability) to a group, otherwise they're just being 'run' through an area/mission/whatever. If you're being run, you pay the runner. If you're planning to be an active part of the group, you all pitch in.

By saying you 'deserve' to be paid to join a group, you take the stance of a runner, and that just won't wash. I'm not saying CareBears have a tough job, but if they don't do that job then nothing's going to happen with your run. You need each other - that's kinda what having a group is all about, y'know?

Anyhow, peace.

Cheap skate. 1k is a small price to pay for what you're intending to do.

Hmm things sure have changed since I last ursan'd doa. Back then every ursan had to have a conset (and show it) plus show their lb and norn titles, before they could get in. Monks didn't supply consets. So now its different? Eh, you can always go back to ursan if you don't wanna play monk.

Should sticky this thread as an example of posting the same god damn thing for at least 40 posts.

Anyways it's PvE nobody cares if you need to pay 1k to get over 3k from drops. It's the same as UW.

be a part of the team. you couldn't beat DoA without someone killing everything and they couldn't beat it without someone healing them. so if everyone else in the team is paying, you pay too or get another group. being an HB is not very difficult so stop whining about doing it. better yet, bring your own damn conset and charge everyone 1k.

Err

you do realise that WITHOUT the ursans, you wont be able to do DOA, unless you go with a guildie and heros (or go do that 3 man farm thing)?

And that 1k isn't that much ?

And that you aren't paying him anything, your paying the price of the conset. If you don't want to pay, then say you don't need a conset.

Aside from that, that alot of monks -leave- when it gets to hot, and that that 1k works as some sort of insurance?

Ursans on Strike!!!

I'm fed up of those stupid monks not giving me money for cons! if it werent for my 7k cons they bitch and moan about how there are no cons and the team is bad.

Srsly though....
Its a team effort. if the monks didnt heal, the ursans would die. if the ursans didnt kill, monks would die. If it werent for the cons, they'd all fail. Stop the QQ and pay up or go back to non-elite areas.

I think that most of you are overlooking the fact that the thread's author is an account that is a grand total of zero days old, which combined with the liberal use of caps, brings me to believe that it is an account created for the sole purpose of creating an inflammatory thread (namely, this one). I, for one, am going to stop looking at this thread, and I suggest you all do the same; we've already given the troll a feast as it is, and I'm a kind person, so I don't want it to get fat

incorrect. cons weren't introduced to the game until EOTN and all areas where they are currently used were beaten before that. Cons aren't required for any area of the game but they do make it easier.

Or we could ignore all the evidence saying he is a troll and just continue to go along with the "he is bad at the game" approach. More fun like that xD

Bring a conset and make them pay.
Bring a full salvage, pick up loot nobody wants and get enough materials for the next conset.

And the good thing is while you're picking up loot you're not healing them

UNTIL TODAY!!! I Decided With All the Ursan Hype I would Start Doing DoA as a HB monk! To my Suprise Ursans are now Charging Me to heal them!!! WHAT!!! yes it may only be 1K but its the sheer principal of the matter! all those long hrs grinding Ursan rep farm, The same HB Build Over & over & over!!!!! to have them spit in my face & charge me 1k everytime they use a Con set! Oh & Heres the Kicker When its time to Face Mallyx the guy using the Con Set Charges Everyone in the group 1k So he makes 7K for his Con Set & he gets of Scott Free! Guess What 9.9 out of 10 times Someone Screws up the Run & gets everyone killed! And all I can think is Man I paid 1k for that!!!!

So Here is My Solution to all Monks out their! If your in Olafstead Because theirs Such a HIGH demand for HB Monks! Charge 3K!!! Why 3K do you ask! Well out of a party of 8 two of those will be HB Monks Leaving 6 Ursan Paying 1K a piece 3K to each Monk! Now Look at it this way out of that 3K 1K is for the Ursan Run ATM Another 1K is For The DoA or FoW run you will Do later & the Final 1K Will pay for the Con Set of That Run! Seem's Fair To Me!!!!

Until It is a Know Fact HB Monks Heal For 3K on Ursan Rep Farms!

Stay Strong Don't Give In & STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE!

Power To the MONKS!

On a more serious note, you're an idiot for think monks are superior to other professions because they heal. GL on your strike, those of us that aren't retarded will be picking up gems.

If you're part of the team, act like it. Just because you're a monk does not mean you should have less responsibility to the group.

Quote:
It is incredibly fair that everyone should pay about 850g for a conset. People are not charging for you to heal them - they are making you share the cost of being in the group.

Quote:
btw, these DOA/Mallyx runs, do you get any drops/gems/chest out of them? Or do you give all that stuff to the Ursans who pay you 3k?

I'm not sure if you're someone else who created a new account just to troll, or if you're actually serious, but either way, rant threads such as these serve no real purpose and generally aren't constructive. Which is why we don't allow threads like this.
