    The forumites.


    They were wrong when it would have mattered

    They are wrong now.

    Do you think they have the integrity to admit it ?

    The game needs the backend support our game had.

    Their build planners suck, and trial and error in the powerhouse doesn't cut it.

    Not only did "WE" miss the signs of the apocalypse, people are still denying why it happened.

    Surely such a thing would never occur.
    Looks like I did blow his mind, and more than a few of the bits and pieces leaked out.

    Einstein, heres a little something for you. They own these boards. They have all the tools to do whatever they want with them and the right to do whatever they want with them. If they wanted to astroturf they could just take inactive accounts and use them or create accounts with whatever post count they want them to have.

    If they cared at all what was going on here they could just shut down the forums

    Protip: Citation f'ing needed ? Was regular guy speak, for take it elsewhere and find an idiot that wants to play your game.

    The new owners would have to make a really good case that they would do a better job. Even that, would only get a $200-$300 sub out of me.

    Kickstarter ? I don't get.

    Guess his mind just imploded. Not surprising, if a smiley face drives you to fits.

    Citation needed. After your last shot at quoting me, I'm curious to see how this one goes.
    Citation f'ing needed ? Look the hell up.

    (By the way, want to expand on the correlation between writing the abridged version of war and peace and being insecure? I bet it'll be fascinating.)

    Trust me, if I was insecure, I wouldn't be jumping with both feet into stuff like the threads I've linked here. Or this one.

    So, are you going to just stick to the sound bites, or are you actually going to try and make some defensible arguments about why I was factually wrong in that old thread, or even in this thread. Repeating that I was wrong every third post or so doesn't make it true. So far this is more like one of those "no, you" arguments that my kid cousins get into than an actual argument. You don't happen to be 12 years old, do you?
    I just call em like I see em.

    You're the one who thought your argument with fan was some sort of monumental achievement and blew up when told you both look like dorks.

    Ah, and door number three wins again.

    I'd just like to point out, PPC, that you have at this point passed arguing about the argument, and are now arguing about the argument that was about the argument.

    Welcome to the forums. Ever play a Scrapper?
    I laughed in real life thanks.

    You got me, Scrappers were my favorites before you could make blue side Brutes.

    People often confuse dogged responses with high emotions. It's silly. I'm not mad. I'm just stubborn.
    That is why you just wrote the abridged version of war and peace, to defend yourself to a random guy on the internet ? Stubborn ? more like insecure.

    Seeing a self-professed forum dodger being the very thing they purport to hate: priceless.
    Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

    Or WHY YOU MAD BRO ?

    I've pointed out how your very early forays into this thread involved rather passive-aggressive ad hominem attacks on other posters. I notice you haven't responded to that in the least.



    There's a whole lot of burden of proof missing here. For me to own up to being wrong, someone needs to offer something that at least makes it look like that might be the case. So far, you have made only one specific claim to try and make such a case about anything I've said, and it was trivially shot down. Try harder.
    Unh hunh. I think you have defined yourself pretty well in this thread.

    Sometimes I think it's important to correct things because it will help the person making the incorrect statement. I usually make special efforts to be polite when offering corrections in this case, though on the rare occasion I am attacked in response despite that politeness, I may not always be polite any further.
    Oh I got it, without your opinion they would suffer in ignorance, and if they don't get it fast enough why should you be polite ?

    You seem to feel that being confrontational at all is the hallmark of a jackass. That's your prerogative, but it's not a view I will ever share.
    In case you haven't noticed I have no problem with being confrontational. It's the part where you can't own up to being wrong that makes you a jackass.

    Jackasses may look different to different people.
    Why would you put anyone on ignore unless they were spamming ?

    1. Where do PVP IOs appear in that sentence?
    2. If you add PVP IOs to that sentence it references two ways to get them:
      1. Hero/Villain Merits
      2. Drops
    Yeah, tell it to someone a little more gullible and didn't see you post deceptive pictures of what pricing was like.

    Are you trying to convince yourself ? Because you sure aren't convincing me.

    I can spot a jackass when I see one.

    Is this one of those things where you expect that you're "blowing my mind"?

    My best RL friend plays this game, and has been farming like that for ... ever. These days he uses, I kid you not, 12 accounts to do it with. (Well, he did, he stopped after the announcement.) So yeah, I know how that works, and have all along. Guess what? That ability of players like him to farm them has always been baked into the market prices. Do you know when the prices on the high-end ones crashed, and finally dipped under the 1-2B mark? When converters came out, and allowed the massive stockpiles of low-value PvPOs those farmers all had created to be converted into the valuable ones.
    Then why the F**K did you make stuff up. Hero Merits weren't the only way to get PvP IOs and the bulk of what you got farming were trash.

    Here's my statement that you latched onto with all the same pedantic asininity that you used to break out the forth and fifth dictionary definitions of "failure" above.



    Readers should bear in mind that this discussion was posted during I18, so the only way to get purples was as drops or with Hero/Villain Merits.

    Days later, after the main thread discussion had actually died down, you wandered into the thread and start arguing with the quote above because you were able to show that some Stealth IOs had been bought at prices that exceeded the price of some of the cheapest purples.

    As I seem to recall, you are some sort of teacher of literature, and yet you cannot understand how indescribably, pointlessly pedantic this was. For someone with such a background (if I remember correctly) you suck at communication. Everyone in that thread, even the person with whom I was debating when I posted it, understood exactly what I meant and did not object to it. You came in after the debate was over and started a new one strictly based on semantics. In the resulting debate, you threw up Venn diagrams that proved nothing and you quoted market facts that ultimately blew up in your face. You were wrong, everyone there knew you were wrong, and you still couldn't let it go.

    No, you couldn't possibly be wrong. The other people in that thread disagreed with you because they were my "fan club". Yeah, because I've always had such a big following.

    Anyone who wants can read the thread from the link in the quote above. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine whether or not you live in your own little world of logic and meaning. I will say that this post summarizes the whole thing rather nicely, though.

    And I must say I did very much enjoy making this post.
    When I said I stayed away from the forums, I was thinking of you. Not specifically you but the general you. An internet dweeb with a bunch of Beavis and Butthead clones that they hung out with. I read your thread I see you beating up someone, nerd fan comes into point out you don't know what you're talking about, and you aren't man enough to admit it.

    Everywhere in this game you had cheerful helpful people, on the forums you had wannabe devs and kissups.

    Just for fun and because it looks like you can't take being wrong. During I18 you could get pvp IOs by afk farming for them. That's how I did it, and you couldn't give away the Targeted area effect pieces or the non proc point blank area effect pieces.
