I must agree with most of this. I am about as experienced as they come, I have played since w4, up to 4 mil, from rim start, from core start, I have been in 15*15s of 3 top 10 players until well past nobles, and I have been in tribes with the likes of some of teh best players.
But, I am by NO means good. Sure, I can stay top 500, but so can 500 other people, in every world I play. I am average, maybe slightly above. I am a great example of how experience has NOTHING to do with skill.
I can send 250 ms trains, yay...I have sat accounts with snipes st for 100 ms trains.
I can snipe half second trains, yay...I have been in tribes with players who can snipe 1/20th that.
@ naruto: some didn't.....some don't. There are players who join just when they happen to be able to dominate. I ahve seen complete nubs take top 10 spots.
@ commited, it is technically possible to snipe a 1 ms train. You must have it be
att 1 ID 1
att 2 ID 2
att 3 ID 3
snipe ID 4
att 4 ID 5
att 5 ID 6
the attack ID's have to be in a perfect order, so you have to launch your snipe in between the attacks, but it is possible. And, I have actually seen a 3 ms train, so a 1 ms train is not out of teh realm of possibility. It had 5 attacks...was epically amazing tbvh.
