Hardcore RP'er Disclaimers > PVE Nubcakes:
PVE "nubcakes" saturate duty-finder groups and PUGs. Â This is not a bad thing and is a simple fact of life. Â There is nothing wrong with being a PVE nubcake, which is usually defined by a mixture of being under-geared, inexperienced, and not motivated to "pwn" at PVE content.Â
Most PVEnubcakes are off-tanks (hi), random DPS classes (especially dragoons), and a motley collection of MSQ-grinders (hi, again). Â I'm a proud PVE nubcake, as are many RP'ers who frequent these forums. Â
Unfortunately, being a PVE nubcake can be upsetting at times. Â Sometimes PUG-mates become frustrated at PVE nubcakes for a variety of reasons. Â There is, however, a delightful thing PVE nubcakes who RP can do to protect against substantial, unreasonable prejudice:Â use a hardcore RP'er disclaimer. Â That's right. Â Next time you're slugging through Titan HM, give those PUG-mates an express disclaimer of how amazing you are:Â
"...GREETINGS! Â I am a PVE nubcake because I am a slave to the hardcore, amazing roleplay on [[SERVER]]. Â I'm grinding through this PVE nonsense for shiny new RP armors, lulz."Â
Even professional poopsockers will be amused and forgive your sins, even after you lose aggro, let both tanks die, alt-tab because your dog jumped across the desk, blow a LB, and/or have to AFK (again) for another beer. Â The hardcore RP'er disclaimer, when used effectively, will even earn commendations and might refer you to fellow RP'ers back on your native server (hopefully Balmung). Give it a try sometime. Â The results are amazing.
