Yes, I am another person who made a CK. Now, before you flame me I want you to know that I just came back from quitting maple. I play it in my free time and consider myself to be a casual gamer, but anyway. I've been trying to get into a CPQ, but I coudln't even ask in channell 1 because there were so many people saying things like 'J>PQ@(x9000)' or 'JPQ MUST HAVE TRACK' every 3 seconds. Is there a better place for me to train, I've tried APQ, but I don't have the pots because I just came back. If you're nice could you also give me some pots/mesos. Thanks.

It's not rude, it's just another way of getting your message across.

It's to get people's attention, but I don't think it's neccessary since I just spam "J>PQ -level and class-!" and I get invites. :P

I'm running out of things to train on and If I'm going to end up grinding these levels I just don't think that I'll make it. I don't even know where to train! I just can't even get into a kpq with all these people...

Did anyone else realize that the percents in a poll only add up to 99%? O.o

Not really, I just do "J> PQ, "job", "level".

Rude when spamming joining pq? Begging for pots and mesos? Oh god, another noob has found basilmarket.

if its not crowded and barely anyone is typing, then it is rude.

I've played maple for 3 years now, but I quit when I got hacked so I have nothing to support my new character. Sorry for not having the nice things you have.

DemonVirus said: "Nah, everybody does it" Yeah and it's ****ing annoying. I just ignore those when I'm a party leader. You know, people aren't blind, we can see you're frigging message without those bajillion @. It's like if I would have type a bunc of @ before this message, I don't think more people would have read it. And it's even more annoying in the FM, cut the damn @'s you're blocking everyone because you think you're block because of said first blocked person who you block. It would make trading much easier and we could actualy SEE whatever you're B or S instead of the ****ing @.

No, you won't get banned. I think it's pointless though. I just spam "J>PQ 'level 'job'" and I get plenty of invites. Not just on my Priest but on all my characters.

It's more annoying than rude. But isn't the whole point of it to make your message above everyone else's so if someone spams over yours, its still visible? If that is the case, then it's rude when people spam it over your message that's only covering their @s.

And I think you might not get in pqs cuz you look..uh.. no offence, but noob. no wg? psh.
