Somedays I hate reading the forums, for one reason .... The old n00b and elite crap. I mean seriously the only difference is the "elite" person has spent more time playing while the "n00b" player more often then not treats it as it is, a stress relief device etc and doesn't spend alot of time playing. Personally I think anyone who uses the terms n00bs/elites give themself and everyone else they use these labels on far to much credit. :icon_rolleyes:
Everyone has different circumstances in RL which DOES dictate there play style etc, so you honestly can't even define a reliable criteria to use to rate players. I personally know players on various worlds that only have 6 or 7 villas and they would put many 400k etc players to shame. So really give up on the n00b/elite crap it's old and it's boring.
As for why the forums are ruined or on the verge of being ruined as some seem to think, it's fairly obvious really. KV I actually don't mind you and think you can and do bring alot of valid points when you actually want to. But this goes for a lot of ppl, click the leading posters names and then click on view all posts.
Hate to say it but a vast majority of the top posters posts are nothing but degrading someone or someones belief, or even someones tribe or even flat out lying with there fake propoganda. Who really wants to post when on each world there is 6 or 7 people who go in every thread and spam hell out of it, by either going off topic or just being downright dumb with there flaming.
And to those who say that KV has everyone against him blah blah blah, think of one thing. If you yourselves actually posted as much as KV etc did then guess what, you would be a target. Sooner or later you would actually manage to at one point or another to have a disagreement with everyone, and of course as we all know, your never remembered for the good, only things most remember are the stuff ups. :icon_wink:
Good or bad, love it or hate it KV and people like him always keep speculation going, it's just that sooner or later that speculation they start will involve you a friend or your tribe. If you don't like it and it gets you all hot and sweaty deal with it in-game. Till then the way in which they use the forums is the propoganda that fuels them.
Anyway to the people who get flamed for using the forums and making so many posts to get the forums jumping and emotions running, I take my hat off to you, you have done your jobs well :icon_cool:
