Maybe this is a sign that you're spending a little too much time trolling the forums.

[ghosthamm]

<DIV>Good job OP, you managed to figure out that pepole disagree on the forums...what a revelation. Don't you think is just a tad hypocritical to whine about...whiners? No one forces you to read any threads you don't want to</DIV>

<P>I actually enjoy a good debate over some of the issues that pop up in the forums...</P> <P>The things I can not stand is the people that post in a discussion to</P> <P>1. Tell everyone to shut up and quit whining</P> <P>2. Make up numbers and % to try to back up their opinion</P> <P>3. Call thier opinions "facts"</P> <P>4. Be outright insulting</P> <P>5. Point out small spelling or grammer mistakes</P> <P>oh... and people that get mad because you disagree with them... like having a different opinion is some kind of derogitory comment about you as a person</P> <P>I have seen the OP throw down some good discussion in a few places, can't comment on the "whining" posts another poster claimed he did.</P>

, but Crafting and Economy wise the game is totally screwed. -------Your stating this as if it's a fact and it isnt it's just your opinion.

[Tradeskill_Addict]

crafting is definitely better as in EQ1 where cultural ts imbalanced it very strong. I admit thouh crafting is not as much fun as i thought (I could swear i did read about HOs in crafting a LONG time ago) but still usefull enough and a good alternative for hours I can't commit myself 100% to playing

Some nice things in the next update. Looking forward to that one.Fleetfut.lvl 40 Illusionist.lvl 39 Weaponsmith.

I am a crafter and an adventurer so I can understand all of the opinions. When I solo or group I don't see a lot of good loot going my way as often as I would like (the best stuff I get is usually for a different class since I am only 1 class out of many) but just today I looked for a new weapon for my Ranger on the broker and the crafted weapons were all lower DPS than the looted and quested ones for my level. So all three can be right in some circumstances. So for an individual adventurer the loot sucks because most of it isn't usuable by you and for a crafter the loot sold by adventurers on the broker is better than what you can make except some rares. </P> <P> </P> <P> There isn't an easy or perhaps any fix for a problem of perspective. </P>

There is nothing more absurd than a thread started to WHINE about whining. Is this supposed to be some big revelation on your part? At least the people that you are complaining about are providing some feedback. What are you providing?

I love a nice whine... with some cheese and some classical music!

[Platfing]

Based on the thread you started on the new alchemist created enhancements, maybe you should take your own advice.

[Bolr]

Actually, I'd bet most (i.e. more than 50%) of the threads on this entire forum can be boiled down to this: "I want what the other person has, and I want it easily and now". <div></div>

[Alther]

Yeah.  Most posts on this board help further justify the desperate need for screening and culling stupid people at birth. <div></div>
