No, Qeli did not do exactly the same. Qeli put up detect invis. When was the last time you played a class that didn't get a spell or power or racial ability for automatic detect invis? If it was relatively recently, you'll know that at level 41, walking around while a bunch of Masters are trying to get back the Orb in ragerville without keeping detect invis up is an exercise in suicide.

> Both Ohpie and Qeli are mid-level characters. Both of them were preparing to loot somebody out of range. I don't see a difference.
Ohpie was largely naked and ran around looting everyone he/she could on eastern. Qeli was with two or three cabal-mates, fully equipped (have you seen her equipment recently?), and in no need of mage gear. Qeli just layed down the smack on one of my chars recently, trust me, she doesn't need or want mage gear.
> > Qeli simply got herself some detect invis action.
> Yes, considering that there was no one around who could harm her, the point of this action is clear.
Clear to who? It's clear to me. You say "there was no one around who could harm her." And she knew that how? Oh, that's right, by HAVING DETECT INVIS UP! What's clear to me is that Qeli put up detect invis because where there are two masters raiding, there could be more.
> > If she wanted to loot, yellow flower is a bad choice (chance to weaken, thereby less loot, even if she does get the few invisible items).
> Completely wrong. Yellow flower on her level has very small chances to weaken, and hero mages often wear alot of invisible items.
NOT completely wrong. Very small chance is still a chance (which I said). It still happens on occasion. The 'lot of invisible items' wouldn't help Qeli in the slightest. Unless Xalshei had ivory unicorn pendants (not invis, last time I checked), the amulet of dragonkind (again, not invis), or something even more rare (that qeli wouldn't even have been aware of without DETECT INVIS), your argument fails totally here.
> And I hate to see somebody not in range coming only to loot. That's why I put my comment here. My opinion is that this line finely describes the situation. Please express *your* opinion, and do not try to create an illusion of public opinion.
I dunno where I said my opinion was the public opinion. However, I am going to guess that this stems from "Me master, qeli warder, so me just put down qeli on forum."
> > Resist, next time, please.
> I probably will not.
Yay, more garbage. I look forward to it. Really I do. Honest.
