i just tought id share the respons to the message i sent to the ls leader.
"1. im not your dad. 2. stfu w/ that crybaby bs 3. man up and tell someone who cares. -end. thanks for playing"
fact is, he is a *** leetest ***.
as for the responses about gear and 3rd party stuff. you leetists can take a hike too. because at the end of the day, your all only ever out for youselves.
The "leetists" you insulted are good players who took the time to give you good advice. This is what your response says to them:
A proper "Thank you, and I'll take all this into consideration" would have sufficed. What you posted screams of poor manners, and it probably reflects on how you interact with people in-game.
What's done is done, and here's some spur-of-the-moment advice on where to go from here:
1) Drop your Linkshell.
If/when your linkshell sees this thread, they will not take kindly to it. It's also not wise to publicly post only a portion of a private conversation (and at that, likely misquoted/taken out of context) with the linkshell leader. Bridges are on fire. They're past the point of repair. It's time to move on.
2) Examine your Gear/Macros.
There an enormous difference between the poorly geared player and the under-geared player. The poorly gearly player is probably beyond help, and as was mentioned earlier, is a black hole for gear/seals/+2 items that could be better used by others. The under-geared player sensibly uses cheap/easy to obtain gear but is otherwise on the right track. Many "leetists" don't like spending time with clueless, poorly geared players, but generally don't have problems working with (and even helping!) under-geared players. Every single "leetist" started the game under-geared.
Look through some of the posts on the first two pages of the thread (especially Blazza's post on the 3rd page). The RDM gear you have posted on your profile is totally wtf. It's time to do some research and make the effort in building and macroing proper RDM sets. The gear doesn't have to be expensive. It just needs to be sensible. It's OK to be under-geared. It's not OK to throw together totally wtf gearsets if you want to be taken even somewhat-seriously.
By the way,
Niniann wrote an excellent DNC guide a few months ago. Check it out! Niniann's guide, posts, and PMs helped me out tremendously in getting my DNC off the ground after I hit the level cap (<3). Some of the gear she mentions is outdated, but that's OK. It'll set you on the right track, and that's what matters. If you sport full Aurore, stop doing that now.
3) Adjust your Attitude
Your attitude is problematic. I hate to say it, but this post, in addition to the thread Tamoa linked (and the resulting commentary), is spot on:

How bad is it if your thread turns from you asking for pity, into a player warning about yourself?
FFXI is an MMO, and as such, we all spend a lot of our in-game time on the gear treadmill. The whole point of the game is to work together, play together, and have fun together. Why would any of us want to spend time in-game with someone who's attitude is even worse than their gear?
If you choose to remain committed to your negative, whiny, and entitled attitude, your best option is to unplug and play offline games.
