One person ACTUALLY said they would NOW help Hajpoj, FOR FREE, due to the fact that all the big, bad meanies in this thread (which he started, proudly trumpeting the fact that he became a "merc" by taking advantage of a lack of tanks looking at his level) are picking on him. That person is Dreyvin.
Haha, you make me sound like I came galloping in on a steed to rescue a fair maiden.
I don't see anything wrong with what he did, so obviously I'm going to defend him. I find it so weird that everyone has this image of "OMG GUY CHARGED FOR XP PARTY," when there were no problems in game.
Taking advantage of something doesn't always carry a negative connotation, and it shouldn't in this case, because no one was harmed or upset by his actions. They all got some XP, and the party was worthwile to him because he made something out of it in a situation where he could care less about grinding some more xp in.
EDIT: You're making this really hard for me to not double post.

Fixed. Elite wasn't the best term, I guess.
In the minds of the majority of posters on this thread, being an *** and adverstising to be a party member for gil are one an the same.
Kinda like going and helping someone for free who was an *** to others would be. That would be being an *** too. That's precisely what you offered to Hajpoj. Same thing as people who party with gilsellers -- no different. People are judged by the company they keep as well.
Hajpoj wasn't being an *** to anyone. Everyone went home happy in his situation.
I'm not being an *** for defending him, either. In fact, I feel more obligated to help him just because you guys are beating down on him so hard. I don't feel he deserves that, regardless of what you think.
Opinions are like ********, and your side is ******** all over him. I respect your opinion that charging for XP is wrong, but I'm not trying to bash you on it.
The only negative thing I've said towards you was that you came off as a jerk with a comment like "Said the 65 Bard to the 75 THF," which is a jerky thing to say.
