First off, I've done what you said you did on AOL in game multiple times. MULTIPLE TIMES.

Sometimes, it's ends up that the character I just showed High Lord's Keep to is a total newb. Sometimes, he's Krilcov. Sometimes, he's one of my friends IRL. It's just like that most of the time.

I remember showing Bajula something one time about an item that has a total hidden property. He was blown away and thought I was super cool (he said on my death thread). Here's the funny thing though. HE'S BEEN PLAYING THE GAME MUCH LONGER THAN ME :)

Also, I told EVERYONE. FUCKING EVERYONE. About the secret poison immunity thing in HLK. I'm pretty sure I was the first person other than Kasty to figure that shit. FFS I remember I killed a certain mob like 6 hrs after HLK went live, and had NO CLUE what the thing did until I went out there, paid attention, and then was like OOOOOOOOOOOH SHIT. So please don't perpetuate the rumor Bendak is subscribing to that no one helps the n00bs. MOST CF PLAYERS DO.

Does that mean I'm going to PM you wand info? Fuck no.

Does that mean I'm going to IM you quest secrets? Fuck no.

Does that mean occasionally I'll answer certain questions over PMs? Sure, depending on the questions. If you ask me something like 'Does INSERT ITEM HERE come from a quest?' you will get a straight answer from me.

Noobs can still find cool shit. You just have to want to. You have to ENJOY exploring. If you don't, then no manner of quest/game secrets I feed you through AOL will make you any better in the long run. Sure your characters might be tougher, and sure, you can hero quickly. But then you become EXACTLY the type of player Bendak is angry at. Because now you know the secrets, and you don't want to share. Because that info makes you weaker. And guess what? THAT'S ALL YOU WANTED THE INFO FOR. To be stronger in PK. To be Billy Bad Ass. So therefore, why would you share that info?

Not only that, but too many people put stock in "winning" and too little stock in "having fun".

It's more a culture thing than anything, so there is no real solution to it.

Pretty obvious.	Death_Claw	January 21, 2011 07:46AM
Spot on, but that also is its greatest attribute imho... if we could just market it properly to show how much of a real challenge it is... (n/t)	NbM(VIP)	January 21, 2011 07:48AM
Wait, what	Scrimbul	January 20, 2011 09:49AM
I feel like we play a different game. nt	The Forsaken(VIP)	January 21, 2011 07:05AM
If the proverbial "someone" wrote a great ad and everyone went and posted on 50 forums we'd get a few bites at least. I am just concerned access to the game isn't clear, like needing a mud client, etc. (n/t)	Returner	January 18, 2011 10:50PM
I rarely offer help, but I also rarely say no to an IC request if I have time. I feel like a lot of people are the same way. Just ask. (n/t)	bell	January 18, 2011 03:58PM
At least some of the problem is the staff, not the players.	alansmithee	January 18, 2011 10:20AM
Well, as someone who also got the short end of the stick due to staff emotions, I feel for you.	Sam	January 18, 2011 12:52PM
I don't even know what that means. They know what the need to do. They don't do it. What else is there? n/t	alansmithee	January 18, 2011 01:26PM
I supposed it does take a man to accomplish certain things...	your blues	January 18, 2011 12:57PM
That depends on what two lists you are comparing	Matrik	January 18, 2011 01:22PM
Re: That depends on what two lists you are comparing	your blues	January 18, 2011 04:15PM
Do some research, duh. Link inside.	Matrik	January 18, 2011 04:43PM

Stop stumping for HairyOrangutan. It'll only inflate a part of his part.	Sam	January 18, 2011 05:29PM

That's a bold claim.	Stevers	January 18, 2011 10:21AM
When you spend over a decade playing, hours every day, we can talk. nt	vladamir	January 18, 2011 11:57AM
Oh, yeah, because him having no time to devote to anything but CF means he enjoys the game more than I do.	Stevers	January 18, 2011 01:18PM
Huh, I figured only the ability to type would matter. (n/t)	Matrik	January 18, 2011 12:32PM

Well, the most powerful asset in CF is in-game knowledge	vortexmagus	January 18, 2011 09:53AM
I'd disagree slightly	zannon	January 18, 2011 10:19AM

They need to lower the damn requirements.	TripHitNdip	January 18, 2011 05:40AM
Why not just give AVA's more power? IE Let them have goto and the ability to transfer into mobs (they may already have this, I don't know).	Sam	January 18, 2011 09:17AM
Nnae definitely has goto. n/t	Stevers	January 18, 2011 09:24AM
I don't mind the difficulty, but I wouldn't one change:	briartangle	January 18, 2011 07:48AM
Not a bad idea.	istirith	January 20, 2011 01:14AM
I will add however,	istirith	January 20, 2011 01:28AM
I agree with this sentiment	baekthestorm	January 20, 2011 02:24PM
If you look at most of the successful Mmorpgs out there..	istirith	January 22, 2011 02:58AM
Yep, I agree.	The Forsaken(VIP)	January 18, 2011 06:25AM
It took me 3 years to get to the point where I was decent in PK, exploration, area knowledge etc. And quite frankly, I had more fun when I started out...	deriveh	January 18, 2011 03:16AM
Of course, it's like sex :) You always remember your first time. The 202nd time? Not so much.	Sam	January 18, 2011 09:15AM
Sam,	Stevers	January 18, 2011 09:23AM
Pffft...	bajula	January 18, 2011 02:16PM
Yep, it's more fun to figure things out than it is to know them (n/t)	Nightchild	January 18, 2011 08:05AM
Like any game...	briartangle	January 18, 2011 04:37AM

Yes, let's look at the current trend and those other MMO's and Games.	baekthestorm	January 20, 2011 03:03PM
The difference between CF and every other "learning curve".	briartangle	January 17, 2011 06:14PM
