Sweet!!  *cracks knuckles and starts scanning*  Now where were those Coyote troll posts again?Tobi<div></div>

[Zholain]

<font size="2">I don't mind Coyote.  There are a lot worse posts in here than Coyote's recently.  And at least Coyote can be pretty funny.  The others are just annoying.</font><div></div>

<div></div><div>I agree with you Catareina</div>

[kc10boom]

<div></div>Yup, so far looks like the threads only get locked after the other posters get their flames in but before the Rangers can get theirs in.  Well in less than a week I won't have to worry about this any more, my account will now expire on 3/1/06.

[Echgar]

Let's leave other poster's names out of the discussion please.  I'd rather not close this thread too for personal attacks. <span>:smileyhappy:</span>We understand there is a lot of frustration within the Ranger community and we're reluctant to go on a post locking spree as that tends to just make people angrier.  The constructive threads and data you all are posting here in this forum do help a lot and are appreciated. <span>:smileyhappy:</span><div></div>

You should do the recurring payment option, that way you won't have to worry about your account lapsing. <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a123/xabbufv/rolleyes.gif"><span><blockquote><hr>kc10boomer wrote:<div></div>Yup, so far looks like the threads only get locked after the other posters get their flames in but before the Rangers can get theirs in.  Well in less than a week I won't have to worry about this any more, my account will now expire on 3/1/06.<hr></blockquote></span><div></div>

<div></div><p>I was on the on that payment option, but have since cancelled.  Between the lag fest that is the game, the hard to harvest nodes, and the nerf.  I figure with all the "growth" that caused the server merge SoE doesn't need my money any more.</p><p> </p><p>Lvl 60 Ranger (Lavastorm) Nek soon to be retired.</p>

<div></div>BTW nice ... that was one of the fastest message nukes I have seen in a while.  Nice shooting MIB.

[Steezi]

<div></div>The thing is, despite the fact that they were nerfed, illusionists and templars are still both money, and can handle the full extent of their duty... at least i know that my 56 templar is much more helpful to groups now than my 62 ranger...

<div>Does that mean if I have a serious post I want someone to read I can make it, then flag it for abuse to get it looked at? lol  JUST KIDDING.  I'm not that desperate to have my voice heard on things.</div>

[Lazl]

<div>Men in Black (MiB) was a SOny PIctures release.  I would imagine any copyright issues would be handled through the mere fact that the same parent corporation holds the Copyright/trademark.</div><div> </div><div><a target="_blank" href="http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/meninblackii/">http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/meninblackii/</a></div>

<div></div>Wow... smoosh our class, and look what people start doing with their time! LOL  <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div><div></div><div>Men In Black 2 (your link) was sony release of a Columbia film as was MiB. Just because a very different division released a movie which was liscenced does in no way suggest inherent permission to use the materials in a very different venture.</div><div> </div><div>Also it is the blatant copying of the image MiB that is an infringment.</div><div> </div><div>It just urks me that those who profess to enforce the rules, don't seem to feel the need to follow them.</div><p>Message Edited by FiftyK on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:17 PM</span></p>

<div></div><p>Jay, i have definately been on the boards for twice the time ive been playin the game since the nerf...</p><p>a bit of a fairweather fan really, but not like i play any other classes more... Its just not as fun anymore. Tanks expecting us to be able to dps the group out of a bad situation keep wiping us, i cant talk without being accused of whining, even if its just to say that there is a name up in the next room.... I have to sit there and listen to the rangers who really ARE whining all the time... sometimes about 4 and 5 at once... All in all, i feel like a bad player now, and i just dont like playing games that i cant be good at. When i was a t6 ranger, there wasnt a whole lotta room to move up...(dont have godking or terror dualies, or the darkfury bow, and a few more masters never hurt)</p><p>And the fact of the matter is, if i cant make myself into a [Removed for Content], im not going to spend the time trying to do it. Pure and simple.</p><p>Here is my slippery slope situation...</p><p>I raid 6 nights a week, often 4/5 hours a night. In order to remain active in guild, this is a requirement. I am a raider, its why i play the game. If i cant get into those raids, or i feel that i am doin next to nothing, 6 nights a week starts to drop a ton. After a while of this, guild either gets sick of having the 6 superfluous rangers, or i do, and we break...After i realize that without said guild and friends i can accomplish literally nothin, i quit game entirely and buy Vanguard. Hope to god they have a playable ranger type class.</p>
