He's pissed because he went from 400 to 14,000 to level. Anyone would be, newbie or not. What a couple of fucking pricks you VIPs are being... "Well, when you're older and as good as us, you'll understand. Oh, and don't whine." Well I'm far from a newbie and you know what? I *still* get pissed when I die to some quirk of ranking after a bleary four hours of monotonous murder. Apparently REAL elites are speed freaks or maybe just too good to get tired. And, yes, it has crossed my mind to wonder why the game just penalizes you in real life TIME of all things. There's a lot of alternate penalties that could be implemented; if your imaginations are too stymied by that huge stick up your collective ass, I could even list them. And are you, Proud Blade, or true-elite Tracker, either of you, really so sure that another hour of beating down stupid mobs seperates newbies from non-newbies? Any idiot that HAS gotten to the hero ranks knows that the current system of kill-mob-kill-mob-kill-mob does little to curb newbieism. If anything, it takes players out of the roleplay/political interaction that would make them non-newbie and they just hide with a couple knowledgable cabal buddies in newbie areas until 50. Then they come creeping out into the sunlight so you can strike them down and give yourself a cookie for text-game-superiority. "Non-newbie." Now I'm disgusting myself. You people need to get lives. Maybe just buy a small real life hotel room and gaze at each other with quiet awe. The fucking "newbie" has a point. Prick.
