That might have a slight bit of truth behind it, were this incident isolated only post I9. As it is, I have had this happen to me quite a few times, even in beta. If he is isolated, its almost like theres a kill-timer on him, and he dies if you don't take him down in a certain amount of time.
Getting the badges is possible tho, and the arc from crimson revenant is a lot of fun.

I will laugh in anybodies face if they say they dislike anything simply because it is no longer restricted to a small minority of people. Just because it is popular doesn't mean it instantly sucks.

I whole-heartedly agree with this (and the inverse is obviously true too - massive popularity doesn't mean quality). Several of my friends that are really in to Indie rock invariabley declare that a band now sucks the moment they are signed to a major label (e.g., Deathcab for Cutie). Sometimes they're right...but most of the time they're just revealing some desparate need to be on the "other side" of popular culture no mater what (as this site demonstrates nicely).

Hah, great site. I must say I agree with both posts above. I bet there are some in the MMO crowd even that will stop playing MMO's now that they have gone "mainstream". Sad.

On the flipside tho, it really does suck to be ridiculed for your musical tastes. Then a year later find ever fratboy in the TriState area listening to them claiming to be og's. Case in point, ever met a single person who knew anything about NIN beyond Closer? Ever met anyone who realized that the Cure wrote Lovesong, not 311?

At that point, the poser would say that those bands sold out. Rather, I tend to think that the listeners instead sold out to what was currently in fad.

Little trick i found to make those pesky vines seem much less pesky. All you need are one or two villians with tp foe (i know you exist, ive fought you in bb). While the main group is killing cot in the vine room, have the 2 tpers tp all the vines into one spot (depending on group/spawn size, could take a while). Then attack the vines en masse, quickly killed.

Our team 5 man team tried for hours, and couldnt kill the vines.
With only 2 players left, we rounded up the remaining 21 vines, (40 initial spawn, lending credence to the fact that they dont respawn to full), and killed them. Of course 2 people killing the AV is impossible, but was worth the shot.

Another important thing to note is, once youve cleared out the vines once, the AV stays attackable. When the vines regen, simply tp them out of the way and stay focused on the AV. Most of you may know this, but its posted for those that dont.
