Ignoring the fact that many high-lvl people also have low-lvl characters they play, there seems to be interesting (and sometimes contradictory!) themes in the Maple Community about how various levels are viewed.

Time Spent on MS

Low Lvl: “Ur suck cuz u not high lvl, u shud spend more time on ms dude”
High Lvl: “Ur suck cuz u high lvl, u shud spend more time off ms dude”

Lesson: No matter how much (or little) you play, you will always be playing either too little or too much for other maplers.

Leveling speed

Low Lvl: “U the sux cuz u lvl 2 much faster than me”
High Lvl: “Ur too slow 2 lvl”

Lesson: No matter how fast of slow you lvl, someone will always out-lvl you, either by having more time to spend on MS or possibly by hacking their way to the upper lvls.

Helpfulness

Low Lvl: “U can’t help me” – because there’s no way we’d let a lower lvl know that they know something we don’t
High Lvl: “Help!” – because it’s okay to let a higher lvl know that they know something we don’t

Lesson: Does it really matter who helps you? Especially if you’re talking to strangers that you’ll likely never run across again?

Noob vs Pro

Low Lvl: Is automatically a noob
High Lvl: Is automatically a pro

Lesson: that regardless of behaviour, simply spending more time on MS makes you a better person, NOT. See my blog on proper definitions of Noob, Newb, and Pros at: link if you want to know what I think.

Clothing

Low Lvl: “U have bad armor man”
High Lvl: “U have bad armor man”

Lesson: Wizit wants you to spend (real!) money to buy NX cash to cover up your aweful armor. The more aweful armor they design, the more you’ll wanna cover it up.

—————————————

What I’m getting at here is that as soon as you see another character you’ve automatically decided a bunch of things about them right away, even though you’ve never even spoken to them:

Low or High Lvl – either cool or not, willing to talk to you or not
Class – don’t deny it, you already have foregone conclusions about what classes do what to yours
Girl or Guy – this should be obvious ^.^

Basically, you’ve already decided if you’re going to like the person before they’ve even opened their mouth.

Go ahead, I dare you… next time someone enters your map, forget what they look like, what lvl they are, what class they are, and try to find out if you like them for themselves, and not for what their pixels represent.
