I still slot 10s at lvl 7.

Which is precisely why I've long held the position that I will do unto others AS they do unto me or mine while being sure to enter every environment with kindness and respect as the default until given reason to change course.

There's been several reports of people trying since the 19th and getting an error stating that the code has expired. If you have one laying around, great, try it, nothing to lose... but I wouldn't spend a penny on buying one.

No, not everything. Throw freedom in there. Throw in how ridiculous it was to use a shard system for alpha and a thread system for the rest.

What else have you got? You're the one that stated you had the mind blowing answer. Spit it out.

I have no doubt that the OP responded poorly to being attacked for his post. That, too, would be normal behavior. When does it stop? By not starting **** in the first place. By thinking about the consequences of our words and actions before throwing them out there. I've done so with every post in this thread and will continue on that path until I get my point across or get bored trying.

I was cocky long before this game came around. Truth NEVER hurts me. I thrive on it. I thank people when they prove me wrong. I learn from such interactions. You have failed at every turn on that front so far.

You've given us no reason to listen to you. You've said nothing worthwhile yet. As soon as you do, I'll listen.

Correct. I don't have to but I enjoy doing it from time to time.

You seem to be under some delusion that A: I think I'm always right, I'm not. I'm often wrong but when I suspect that I'm wrong I seek out information to resolve the issue; B: I've never been dogpiled on by others in this community. I have and often, I just don't cry about and take my lumps as they come; and C: that this is in different than any other game forum anywhere. It's not on THIS topic. One way this forum IS different is that I have never seen on any other forum the rapid help that one can receive when they are seeking it on any number of topics.

At least half of my 30000 posts were added to this forum in my first few years hanging out here and doing my damnedest to help out folks in the tech forum so that they could go on to loving the game instead of fighting bothersome tech issues. I just started a thread in the scrapper forum about using degenerative or reactive and received a lot of useful information without any BS at all.

I won't be involved in the development of a new CoH. If a certain segment of this forum's population actually manages to create a new CoH on their own, it is highly unlikely that I'll be involved with it at all because I've already been shown some of their design philosophies and they are VERY much unpleasant for a soloist like myself.

Get this through your head: There is a difference between being closed off to all ideas and being closed of to ideas that are obviously useless on their face.

No, it being BS makes it BS. The statement, "The Sun revolves around the Earth" is BS. I don't have to pretend that it has worth or any basis in reality. I get to happily discount it as BS and continue on under the safe assumption that the person stating it will never have anything useful for me to bother with.

Other ideas are good when they're well thought out and worthwhile. Listening to the players is a good thing. Listening to garbage is a waste of time. Defending people that intentionally start crap for no other reason but to start crap and insult people is a waste of time.

All opinions are NOT equal and never will be.

The opinion that it's ok to piss on and mock those saddened by the loss of something is a baseless and idiotic opinion and THAT is what this thread is actually about.

It's not about the cliquishness of the forums. Cliques exists everywhere and this place is no exception. But to blame the closure of this game on the forums? That's just stupid.

So why'd you quote his statement that ends with a sentence about freedom of speech?

As for reacting badly, folks react poorly when insulted. It's human nature. Either avoid insulting people, as the OP failed to do or the reactions that EL is harping on wouldn't exist, or deal with the reactions when they come. But please, do so without whining about imaginary attacks on one's freedom of speech.

There would be very little anger involved. Removing someone so low and lacking even the most basic levels of human empathy from the gene pool would be a kindness to the rest of the planet.

Ummm, what?

From Zwillinger's post: "Now for the details, starting on Wednesday, September 19, 2012, all accounts which were previously subscribed as VIP as of September 1st, 2012 will be flagged as VIP for the remainder of the duration, sans recurring billing. Unfortunately we will not be able to flag any accounts that were not VIP as such during this period."

Sep 19 has come and gone and there's a whole lot of premium players posting that they didn't get bounced to VIP. I'm VIP only, apparently, because I was lucky enough to use a retail code I hadn't previously used after the market closure but before the 19th.

Because scrappers have SR with Elude which is what... 3 backflips at activation? Can't remember. It's been a long time since I had it in my build.

On topic, though, scrapper Nin would be awesome. As would scrapper energy melee and brute ice armor.

Oh? You don't see our "leaders" filled with a level of ignorance that should astound and disgust any decent human?

You don't see a very real hatred/mistrust/fear of intelligence and knowledge in our society coupled with everyday attempts to legitimize ignorance and foist it upon our children?

Ok. You haven't been watching very closely, then. I'll get you started: study up on "intelligent design" and our states' boards of education and then go listen to some right-wing radio.

Edit: To put it another way, there's a lot of people in positions of power in this country that are ignorant in regards to reality, they are actively attempting to make everyone else as ignorant as they are while punishing those that speak against them, and based on the state of our country, they're doing a pretty good job.

I'm sticking with "it's over on Nov 30th when the servers get shut off."

Funny story there... First time I watched that with my wife, we were about 1/4 through it before I realized she wasn't laughing. I asked her why and her response was, "This isn't a comedy. It's prophecy."

I'm Bill Z Bubba and I approve of this message.
