> And I was just making light. > You know, that was the one cool thing about Gareth (besides being the best Maran along with Fiadrae) - he seemingly believed in a completely level playing field, and was always willing to share game mechanics tips (as opposed to quest info - which he wasn't) with those willing to learn. Some people call that IRC cheating, but then, in turn, indulge and are privvy to "secret" knowledge from their own contacts from the forum to IRC themselves (a la all these people that know about the wilderness factor for rangers without having ever played a ranger). And I guess you are saying "why not? why not share mechanics information that is relevant to every player so long as it is not quest related?" And I guess anyone who reads this forum and takes in the experiences of other players are being more than a little hypocritical in replying "because it's cheating and takes away from the mystery and allure of the game." Just by reading the forum they are silently approving the exchange of experience re: game mechanics, non quest related, information > Anyway, I don't care :) I was bored and saw an opportunity to tease you.
