Well, I wanted to rant anyway.
I don't blame anyone!
And honestly the Ainur should know by now that anything they put in the game is going to be used to the greatest possible advantage by playerkillers. The problem is that they don't. The first question they should ask when putting something through quality control should be 'How could someone use this to kill other players?' but it never even seems to come up on the balance radar. How many things have been removed or nerfed because of shortsighedness on Valinor's part? How many events have contained bugged features which have been exploited? Don't blame the player, blame the idiots which make the game.
Personally, I think there's a certain skill in being able to utilize the existing equipment in the game to its maximum potential. FRA once passed MELS around at Rhosgobel and 'charged' someone to death, and Baklen chugged Galadriel's vials like they were going out of fashion. I don't remember either of those two getting much stick. Whether something is being used or (ab)used depends largely on whose side you're on.
Silence gets kills not because of skill, but because he fucking hurts. And why the fuck are you protecting him all the time? :P
It's so blatant in fact that the ainur's have noticed it and nuked him for blatant cheating.
'But after a while someone blatently abusing something to give him Shelob like damage is just damn annoying.'
Lol, pathetic way to justify skill.
But I guess if you played the game you'd realise half of what I just said.
Taking guilds uniques? :P You mean, dying with the uniques and gear I quested for my guild. And there are what, 7-8 logs of me dying here? Every time I left the GH for 2 months Silence would stalk me, it pretty much limits my options. If I gave a shit I'd post 30+ attempts and the few lock/kills I got back at him. But after a while someone blatently abusing something to give him Shelob like damage is just damn annoying.
I guess at the point where he stops having both a contract and carrying uniques all the time (ok he wasn't always carrying uniques, but a large proportion of the logs of him dying did have him using them).
Who else was it who went through a long phase of taking out his guilds uniques and losing them all the time?
at what point do you say to yourself 'this guy is a fucking noob and not worth my time'
heh, shrug.
