What's that spell?

Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
PAD!
Darn. I was close.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
I was hoping this thread would be about SS/ brutes stomping people who whine about words.
I think all these 'rage' posts should be moved to a consolidated 'nerd rage' thread to keep the place more organized.

I'm kind of surprised after the last two nights. My first experiences with this community were nothing but nice. As I read more posts in a broader range than just the player questions section I see that this player base is just as jaded and prone to class bias as every other mmo.

Clearly, the answer is the Mod's need to nerf cred.

If you are using Latin in your post you are probably trolling

Whoa....
I admit I don't follow Mod8's postings, but isn't it traditional for him to lock a thread once he posts something in it???
I must say.. I am quite impressed (well not really but I wanted it to sound good) that he just posted like a regular poster and didn't lock the thread!
Way to go Moddy ole boy!

So far nothing in it requires a lock . . . so far. 
EDIT: Plus mods are allowed to pad their post count.

I began reading the original post with fervor. But it quickly turned into a math word problem. I don't want more homework.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I've been giggling uncontrollably for the last half hour.
I don't know why.
The OP's avatar is giving me seizures...
This is a rage post about why I refuse to post in topics that advertise themselves as rants about other people saying 'healer' and why I usually end up flaming people who post complaints about the word.
What's the matter, ____? Like in every other MMO and even D&D, you need a someone whining about the word 'healer' or your forum blows!
Wrong. In CoX, the threads are normally always massively one sided. As in, you can complain about something effortlessly, or it will chew through 90% of your argument in one hit and a rebuttal isn't going to save you. Very rarely are there encounters that are honestly in the middle.
Let's compare repeated complaints about a single stupid word vs shutting up. In forums, a healer post will give back about 600 cred - your average poster will have about 2000 cred. Shutting however will give you 40% resistance to looking like a thin-skinned twit. So, if something hits you for 1000 cred, 400 of that bites the dust passively - every time it hits you.
An healer post is capable of recovering 900 cred (we'll say 900 assuming they are following you using their AOE and single target) every 6 seconds (activation time + recharge). So, if you're fighting one person, who wins? The whiner.
However, since shutting up protects passively, if you're fighting a group which does 4000 per posting wave, 1600 of that is mitigated.
No. I am not saying complaining is worthless, and no, I did not compare the other aspects of the set versus the other aspects of shutting up aside from the shields.
Perhaps I've just been really lucky but I've never really been in a situation where a healer post has saved me or the team, not as a frontliner or a backliner.
tl;dr my point is that shutting up > whining about the word 'healer' and you make yourself look like a total newbie by advertising as or requesting a "'healer' post" and you don't belong doing taskforces.
