I'm very torn between keeping my level-up thread open or permanently closing it.
On one hand, I love to help people who are genuinely interested in Alchemy but have a hard time funding it. On the other hand, I absolutely cannot stand half of the newbies who come into Alchemy right now. They're everywhere, asking for free handouts. The fact that they can't even be bothered to read any of the guides bother me so much. I don't mind giving advise for some of the trickier levels like in the 3-5 range, but now I see people constantly asking "what's easiest formula at level 1 plz help." I keep thinking "NO! GO READ A DAMN GUIDE! It's not that hard!"
And then there are the other beggars who start working on one of the harder formulas to level up. I don't fault them for taking a hard formula...God knows I did more than my share of those plowing my way to level 10. But if you pick a hard formula, at least have the backbone to not BEG for a component! I just...UGH!!!! I still can't believe that someone begged me for a component that costs 66k on the MP or is FREE if he just went to play zOMG for a few hours!!!
I've also planned to make a thread that lists how to get from levels 1-10 using almost all Cache components. It's mostly because I'm just sick of answering the same questions, but the cynical part of me thinks that those same beggars and lazy people won't read that guide. I mean, why read a guide when you can just sit on your a** and whine until someone answers your question?
I'm just so sick of these people. They're ruining a good thing...

Personally, I tend to answer questions and/or redirect people where they can find the answers when I feel like it. Anyway... about your thread: if it's giving you too much stress, then it's time to take a break. By going on a break, you can return to it if you feel like it later on. And even if you decided to close now, noone could keep you from pursuing it later wink Like right now, you say you want to make a guide? You can always take a break from your level up thread while you do that guide no? It would still be quite useful for those you are trying to reach with your level up thread too smile
