I'm not nearly as gear obsessed as some players, but some people are playing a completely different game. I've been playing this game for 20 years now, and it's funny: I've had the troll amulet once for about 10 minutes before I was gang raped. I've never even been able to hold the hummingbird pendants, the stoneform amulet, or Defiance.
Looking back to the article about scrubs, I suppose the fact that I am not as gear-obsessed, heavily prepping player who leverages IC and OOC social networks defines me as a scrub. Let's perma, and I'll keep an eye on any PMs you send my way.
Let's start by exchanging Silent Tower secrets. I have a pretty detailed doc I've created over the years, but I've never had the firepower to brute force the area, and I never figured out any bugs to exploit. Not that it would help us now that it was quietly closed, heh.
