I had an interesting chat with Stun and he said that when he was an officer in IB he looked for skills, personality, and playtime as the three big traits in an applicant. I'm guessing that since TMO scooped up most of the skilled/high playtime crowd FE has to take whatever they can. I have some good friends in FE but it doesn't feel like they are very selective about who they recruit.
For example, I had a lovely encounter with Spectre today. He dragged a pet from North into South (I guess he can't handle charming South mobs) and gated. I zoned in and got to play with it. So he zones back in and wants his pet back, and the following exchange ensues. Although I have to admit reading this I must have been in a bad mood.
[Sat Dec 29 11:58:51 2012] Spectre says, 'hey can i get my pet backj please?'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:05 2012] You say, 'consideringyou trained him on me'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:14 2012] Spectre says, 'no we gated'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:17 2012] You say, 'well charm broke so'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:17 2012] Spectre says, 'had to gate'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:20 2012] Spectre begins to cast a spell.
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:24 2012] You say, 'shrug he attacked me at the zin'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:47 2012] Spectre says, 'hes from zi'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:52 2012] Spectre says, 'actually north but yeah zi'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:54 2012] You say, 'no, he isn't'
[Sat Dec 29 11:59:57 2012] Spectre says, 'yes he is'
[Sat Dec 29 12:00:15 2012] Spectre says, 'god your an ass'
[Sat Dec 29 12:00:40 2012] You say, 'shrug for a guy who trains people who zone in with dual wielding pets'
[Sat Dec 29 12:00:45 2012] You say, 'seems you have little room to talk'
[Sat Dec 29 12:00:51 2012] Spectre says, 'your a bitch'
[Sat Dec 29 12:01:56 2012] You told spectre, 'when i hear someone who doesn't even know the difference between you're and your insult me, somehow it just doens't hit home'
[Sat Dec 29 12:02:16 2012] Spectre tells you, 'youre a bitch'
[Sat Dec 29 12:02:28 2012] You told Spectre, 'i don't think you undertsand, only one of us is angry'
[Sat Dec 29 12:02:29 2012] Spectre tells you, 'everyone knows the difference most choose to not use it'
[Sat Dec 29 12:03:01 2012] You told Spectre, 'because hitting those ' and e keys requires huge amounts of energy?'
This is when I learned Spectre knows correct English but chooses not to use it. However, alls well that ends well, as I got an Enshrouded Veil off an Embalming Fluid that they popped
