Character worth

The HP isn't only for training either. It's beneficial at PB and starting on the left at HT. I disagree with people saying HP washing isn't necessary, yada yada. It's beneficial and makes things a lot easier. Being able to tank a hit from Ariel and not having to waste time avoiding and/or getting rez'd is a significant increase in DPS. Try fighting PB itself as a warrior without being extensively washed.

The rest = not the above

While it is true that no one's gameplay is to be judged, how do you explain certain (not rare) cases like Molly above who never even sparked the idea that the game doesn't restrict you from clicking the HP up arrow without having an AP reset?

It's not just some people that crave competition with others, that's more or less the general mentality in every Mapler's mind since the beginning of time. While this may have stemmed from their competitive nature in real life, in the US society, in whatever factor I'm not aware of, this much is true. Of course, there are a few minorities who don't, or at least not to such an extent, but if you could name 5 or more friends of yours who belong to that minority group, I'd be damned.
