Ummm... Gasket, Freddy.... It's reading to me that you two are in violent agreement. :))
It does disturb me, however, when I get a call the next day for q90 jewels when I've just given a set of q80's. Since gear never makes you uber, there's no need to chase the small upgrades, only the big ones. I try to explain this at people, but some of them don't listen. (Others do, thankfully, and only come back to me when their amps have outgrown their spells.)
I really don't understand the grabbing for more, however, much a Gasket does not. When I was a homin fresh in from Silan and before I joined GoJ (and even after), I asked the experienced players what it was that I needed when I felt I needed something. Often what I needed was a technique, not gear. Mayhap some of the newer players need a reminder on that. (And again, some of them do not, and I am glad to see that.)
