    i'm not sure why a number of people seem so eager to go this route

    is buying advantages ok now? i am so not in the loop
  3. no one will play stalkers or defenders because they are overshadowed by everything else

    so basically nothing will change

    Defender Debate

    this thread is so surreal
    i'm not sure if i'm the one missing the point or everyone else has

    the initial prompt was pretty quickly drowned in semantics and non sequiturs and then people started adding their two cents on issues that had no real bearing on the discussion

    and now this argumentative mess is followed by some sort of puppet master-y quasi admission of defeat by the op

    i just don't even know
  5. it's still really odd to me how most of the people who list off reasons why one shouldn't care about negative rep all seem to care themselves

    For those of you that managed to register, excellent! For those that missed it, I’m sorry! We have no more badges to sell to you! Yes, this includes day-of sales, so please please please do not come to the Convention Center if you do not have a badge! Either wait for PAX East or PAX 2010! Thanks!
    shed a tear for our badgeless brethren

    Bad Mouthing CoH

    oh wow this airman america guy is doing things with engine blocks and computers and manly chores like mowing the lawn

    he was also in the military held so many clearances
    in fact, he had all the clearances and other military people would have to ask him to use them
    sometimes he'd make them beg

    a real man's man, this one
  8. very important question:
    will there be free drinks at the pub?
  9. teams may indeed be harder to find but the leveling speed has only been increased

    I dont like popularity contests. It always leads to idiots fighting over something and causes a disruption in the community.

    No thanks.
    lol
    that was a pretty good post combination
  12. there's a difference between "evil" and "dangerous" or "harmful"
  13. humans get pleasure from things that keep both the individual and the species alive, and so do the redcaps

    they're only as evil as every other organism

    'Who is Jack?'

    i actually have a twenty page paper exploring jack's alleged merits and failings that i copy & paste every time the subject comes up

    it is always met with much excitement because everyone loves to hear my opinions on game designers that they're only dimly aware of
  15. i really wish pax and bumbershoot would find different weekends
    there are a lot of weekends during the summer, you know
    it's not like there is a shortage

    i cannot count the number of times someone has come up to me in atlas and told me they had sex with my mother

    the reason i cannot count them is because the number is zero
  17. there should be free accounts that force your characters to wear corporate branding

    you can play without a monthly fee if you agree to be captain cheerios

    well yes if they're saying mean things to people on the internet, it logically follows that they are stupid and have no social skills

    anyone who gives me negative rep is obviously some sort of puerile strawman
  19. wait, what?

    let's... let's not be hasty, now

    I disagree that a commercial entity should be responsible for 'looking out' for these kinds of people, but they do exist.
    i'd like a bit of elaboration on these two points, specifically
    1) what is "the same well"?
    2) is "a commercial entity" referring to the provider(s) of addictive things, addictive games, this game, or something else entirely?
  21. perfect pain, if your definition of farming includes everyone who has played the game more than 3 times, it is not a useful definition

    if you want, we can call your definition farming1 and smurch's definition farming2, but it is farming2 we are discussing here because yours is simply not conducive to discussion
  22. cross-server teaming seems like it would defeat the purpose of having separate servers to begin with

    i guess if/when some servers merge that might count

    Are they a public hazard? No?
    Then leave them to it.
    you just compared the op's sort of "joyless farming" to actual psychological compulsions
    that's an odd analogy to make, especially considering bulimia is something that we try to treat because it can result in death

    City of Rewards

    this is a good, well-reasoned post
    if you read three sentences and complain about not understanding it, you should be banned

    perfect pain remains as lucid as always

    the only thing i'm trying to "bait" you into is explaining your thought process

    really, the whole forum isn't out to get you, bub
    stop being so paranoid
