To all new players from the veterans; there was a day when people had respect and order in Vanadiel. Some out of good character and others out of the fear of developing a bad reputation which would handicap their chances of getting into an HNMLS which was required for obtaining anything of great value. Now a days people can pug any content with 6 people. make macros to /trade ??? in spite of any line that has been organized. With the trade marked reply "Deal with it" or "You mad bro?"
Players are no more toxic now than they were then. There were times when people were respectful and waited in lines like this: but that happens now too. I remember good people back in the day, I also remember back in the day when people used bots to claim HNM, when LS would hoard Dynamis coins and loot in "banks" (only to go to the leaders), etc. Not much has changed really. iLvl maybe.
