As you know there aren't really that many variations. People just can't be bothered to search or even look down the same page. They, like the OP, think that their build is unique even though the same issues/questions come up over and over again ad nauseum. |

The same sort of thing has been happening in the scrapper forum (though not to this degree) about shield scrappers, so I put together a consolidated thread about dealing with those issues. I'd do the same here, but I don't think it would do any good. I think the scrapper forums are somewhat better "policed" than here and they also seem to attract more of a veteran crowd.
You have a lot of newbies asking about multi-billion fire/kin farming builds who don't have any understanding about the power sets or even simple game mechanics. I don't know if all the writing in the world can resolve this sort of issue.

I think you really need to grow up a bit and stop being such an absolute ***. You'll never get through life being a moron and a moaner tbh. Be positive...

It's new to you but that same discussion has been repeated in countless other threads. Do a search on fire/kin and you'll find dozens of threads asking "hey do I need flashfire or cinders in my farming fire/kin?" You've never bothered searching or looking so you're talking out of ignorance.|

If for instance, someone wants personal advice on their build, there's no use searching dozens and dozens of posts which do not relate to it. I did do searching, however I found no more than mediocre builds posted by people with less wit than a monkey- for the most part. And the good builds that I did find were NOTHING like my own build. All I wanted to do was expand on what I have rather than re-vamping completely and I see no harm in that whatsoever. |

Maybe you should stop talking out of ignorance and do a little research. And I'm hardly a hater, but I'll call a kettle black if that's what it takes. |
Go be a cop somewhere else.
Oh and FYI - Next time you come invading a thread with a useless post, try and not be so rude to the OP. I did nothing wrong, and i'm not one of those "gimme d'advizes plz" people.

Sure, maybe he could have kept his regret on yet another fire/kin thread to himself. You are right that it is your build, and after all, we dont have to read your thread, or even post on it. Those are absolutely fair points. On the other hand, its an open forum, and you get the reactions you get.|

By the way, him making a comment, followed by you flipping out, does not make him an ***.

Maybe not, however, joining my thread and posting absolute nuisance in the rudest and ill-mannered way makes him an *** in my book. All I wanted was some friendly advice, of which I have already received. Also, being an open forum does not give him the right to post in such a way.
I thought he was rather polite, myself. Different strokes, I suppose.

Somewhere between ambivalence and outrage there's an acceptable medium.
I understand why you and others post on this topic. But you should also understand why a lot of us are weary of it filling up the boards. The discussions never go anywhere different than the previous hundreds of posts on the subject. Which is why I think those of us who post a lot should simply redirect to the existing posts. No need for any of us to draw blood when there are much more contentious topics for us to fight over. Your specific question about Flashfire/Cinders is welcome of course. But there are so many posts of Fire/Kin builds on this board that we could fill the BP oil gusher with them.
Hi, thanks for a sensible reply..
Well, I could have used the hundreds of other Fire/Kin posts, but really I wanted something to improve on my own build, buying a load of different sets etc would've been a nightmare so that's why I didnt just look at another build.
However, I have now found my information.
Thanks Lewis also for a sensible reply, but I think that what Fury posted earliet, such as,
"You have a lot of newbies asking about multi-billion fire/kin farming builds who don't have any understanding about the power sets or even simple game mechanics"
Is pretty rude. It's subtle, but insinuating that I'm a farmer (where as I have no intention of doing so as I mentioned previously) who has no clue about what I'm doing.
Never judge a book by its cover...
Worst part....Fire Kin Master STILL hasn't posted is latest build.
