Subject: Whining

Do you ever get tired of being a hypocrite? You sit there and cry to preserve
how you twink things, then claim the game is dumbed down. All you do is plant
on items, hoard things, sell on the auction, and prevent zonage by being an ass
because you knowingly abuse how zones were to be done.
Oh, wait. I'm crying. Boo hoo. Yes, I'm dealing with the lame guy who gets
two or three people who do items on credits that says it's for LVL 50 only.
Doh, I better whine and get things dumbed down! I better have ideas that make
the game more boring and hand over even more skills!
Get your head out of your butt and quit hoarding things, screwing people over,
and messing up tia zonage...jerk.

1)Well not sure how me trying to perserve the dificulty of the game is being a hypocrite.

Im against group colors, im against beacons, im against abusing bugs.

Im all for using skill and eq to small group zones that normaly take 15, 6man clouds is an utter blast having 2 patrols walking knowing if you all dont pull 110% its spank. 7 man full izans was great and guild only, its bout skill and knowing game mechanics, its not drowning a dragon and abusing a bug.

2) hoard things, hell i give most of my shit out to guildies on a daily basis, i sell shit on auction all the time how is that hoarding. Only time i havent given out stuff that people need is cuz i was busy in zones. Im usualy first person to jump in and help someone do firebody quest or nightmare or shadow walk, gate and relocate. I have played the game since this incarnation and i have 27 lvl 50's of course im gonna have alot of eq and extras duh, Im in almost every zone (except evil tues!) Even i cant lose that many times.

3) How am i messing up tia? Boggle, i have lead it as much or more then anyone else. I have been every time except for 2 and i worked both of those.


All i can say is say Doom, it was a great game... everyone got hours of enjoyment until god mode came out, then everyone beat it and got bored, the easier it became the less intrested people got. Was there still great players without godmode? yes of course there was.

Why bother even typing a reply to Thilindel's post?

Whoa whoa, Thilindel, honey, yer talkin to my boy all wrong.. You do it again, I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron.

But seriously.

Shut the fuck up, you pathetic whiny bitch.

From the bottom of my heart,

one of the major flaws in his statement is, people will and have always "twinked" stuff, Ellen checks rares a boots as does Cofen and many many others that no longer play. If other people could small man zones, they would. But either they aren't smart enough to do it or can't get the quality help needed for it. Players get smarter, smarter zones are needed.

Ellen's chars have solo'd things just as much as Ross's chars. In fact, she's the reason some things were changed. She still solos things, and yet people don't consider that twinking. However when Ross or any one of us do it - suddenly it's bad.

I'm only a casual player due to my travel for work, and don't get to do a lot of zones regularly, but as such I have to say, the times I have done small group type stuff with my guildies or others have been a lot of fun. The excitement is much higher, the sense of accomplishment, and "danger" as well.

I love to go with any size group to any zone when I can, but I don't think "Twinking" is wrong. If you can do it with a small group, and have the skills not to be spank-o-rific, more power to you!

If you want to see true hypocrisy, guild Thilindel for a month. After guild helps him small team any items he needs for quests or for masturbation, let's see if he keeps whining about twinking.

Thilindel's problems and beliefs are the same as the ones that lead people to believe in communism: Envy, a mortal sin.

Ellen solo'd scorps with power word blind, then they raised the level of the mobs to prevent them being perm blinded.
