I think I might need a new keyboard...

Here is where I must interject.

I think the reason players get up in arms over knockback, is that it lowers the XP/minute in their eyes and anything that does that is to be shunned when holding that viewpoint.

In my opinion, min/maxing is fun. Min/maxing every encounter, every minute, every time, is not.

Frankly, in my opinion, getting upset over knockback rather than trying to see how many interesting ways you can place an enemy using the ragdoll physics, is a sure sign of a person that forgot they are playing a game, rather than trying to earn a living in a second job.

My group playing all double XP weekend with knockback, laughed and had fun while earning xp. Did your KB hating team laugh as much?

KB Rules!

Wow. I am just really glad I don't have to team with gamers like this.

In the years I have played, I have yet to see someone kicked for a 'bad build'. I have, however, quit a few PUGs that start to even sound like they are build snobs and I min/max pretty much all my characters.

The whole idea of XP leaching is hilarious to me as well. Since most of the time my character can take on the mission alone, why would I care if the baby needs to be fed?

I really think some people, thankfully a pretty small portion that play this game anyway, don't know how to relax. Sad really.

Heh. My first thought was that it was a joke, should have gone with that.

I'll get my sarcastometer checked.

*shrug*

I can't believe so many people geek rage over so many small things.

The entire idea that $5-10 dollars difference in pricing or when certain things can be acquired for a game can cause so much anger and angst in grown adults, is simply astonishing to me.

You really are living in your own little world.

So you can sit on your high horse and call others names but when you start others can't?

You have one, consistent message in all your ranting here that Talen_Lee points out nicely; you think you are more virtuous, smarter and a better human being than people that would try and make a profit in the games market.

I have a friend that has a martyr complex like that. He has my sympathy as well.

You have a secondary message that seems to be something like "Some items on the market can be manipulated in price sometimes, therefore the entire market is being constantly manipulated all the time."

This secondary message has been dis-proven over and over here, as well as within the market itself. Therefore you fall back to your primary message repeatedly.

If your message was ""Some items on the market can be manipulated in price sometimes and I think it's wrong to do that" you might have gotten a different reaction, but probably not because of the holier than thou attitude you lace your posts with at every turn.

Personally I have made all of the inf to outfit my characters by following the oh-so-virtuous trio of rules you laid out:

Do I get to be a saint now as well? Saint Juba has a nice ring to it!

I just love it when people who think they are better than others try to show everyone the one true path. It provides me with quite a bit of entertainment.

Thanks again for making me smile. Keep on posting, please, I love to read this kind of thing over coffee in the morning for a good laugh to start the day.

Thankfully, no one (that matters in the decision) is asking you.

I sit corrected...

May I please have my 40 lashes now? :P
