Well, you wasn't a bad player
but I had a feeling that you just use people.

reading your post:

"I spent XXX hours in emoting with Tiamat (somebody would call it roleplaying) and now, Nepenthe, you have to code me a form or I will be disappointed."

It looks silly.

did you enjoy your emoting with a silent mob?
possible answers:
1) you did -> so, why you are dissapointed?
you did a thing you liked and enjoyed it.
2) you did not -> WHY you did it then?
only to gain a reward?

you ranked to hero and spent 300+ hours without any form:
did you enjoy your playing without a form?
possible answers:
1) you did -> why you are disapointed? you enjoyed a lot, what more you need?
2) you did not -> WHY you did it then? to gain a reward? where other masters happy when you was out of
defending/raiding 300+ hours of your life?
Where they happy to support you while you were working
to get your rewards?

the thing is simple:
in first hand you have to think what you bring to the game, what you GIVE to people
and the reward will find you even if you don't look for it (nearest example is Flontinot)
But when you hard-ass-work for OBTAINITNG the reward,
when your life is devoted to an achivement of such goal
you begin to use people for you purposes and don't give
anything them. And the frustuation would be walking around waiting for you to make any wrong step.
