Well, since I wasn't named, then I guess you fit me into one of these groups.
It doesn't hurt anyone for me to think highly of myself.
I won't put myself down just to please others, so disagree if you want.
Just because you don't see their work, doesn't mean they are not working hard.
Quote: ""yeah you can do that" statement in threads that ask if you can do something with the engine. and they never define how to do it they simply feel like showing that they know something or give the appearance that they know something. but in fact know nothing and simply want to be revered as a expert fpsc user.

Here is where I learned yet another thing from Merranvo.
There is nothing wrong with telling someone that something can be done without telling them how.
Providing them step-by-step instructions all the time creates a dependency on their part.
Pretty soon, they expect you to hold their hand rather than figuring it out like we had to.
Sometimes they need to put forth more effort than just asking us to do it for them.

Jon and Bond have shown more than enough to give someone a great idea of how a model is supposed to flow. Seems that very few take it to that next level and actually try to make something."
Yeah, I guess I'm a leech now too because I request a model from someone who obviously does better work than I can do at the moment. Not everyone has enough spare time in their day to make this more than a hobby, so wanting the best modelers to make something for them doesn't make them a leech as much as it makes them a fan of the modeler and his work.
As for people making models FPSC sompatible...
The very first model I made was FPSC ready with all the neccessary files to put it in game.
Yes, I even gave step by step instructions for installing the files.
All of my models offered here were done that way.
I know Keith remembers, because everyone who complained about my texturing skills were reminded by him that at least my models were ready to be used in game.
I didn't handle my negative critisism well, because it felt like everyone was taking my contributions for granted.
So, I stopped offering models to the community. (I even abandoned modeling for a long time)
There might be more people attempting to make more models if they weren't told to give it up in their first attempts.
Conclusion...
Everyone is different as well as their perceptions of others.
Diversity is a good thing, and it would be boring if we all conformed to being the same.
What is the difference in someone 'leeching' off modelers than expecting scripters to write the script for you?
Everyone needs helps sometimes, and not everyone can do it all.
I see nothing wrong with bumping threads or asking why it was bumped.
I see nothing wrong in making a few models or asking someone else to make one for you.
I see nothing wrong in figuring things out for yourself.
If you get upset by people acting differently than yourself, then you will probably be miserable most of your life.
It's okay for a noob to ask for help or show off his first model even if he hasn't got it in FPSC yet.
It's okay for someone to say "yeah it can be done" without doing it for them.
It's okay to not like what other people do.
It's okay to think of yourself as a GOD even if others call you a leech.

Here's my way...
IT'S ALL GOOD!
Now, I have to say tata because I have to go leech off Jon and Bond1 for my melee characters.
