To Sha:
I have read this argument from the beginning, all at once, so I have a unique perspective on the entire thing. So, my comments reflect that perspective.
Sha, you have not represented yourself well here. I do not know who you are, and, from reading your posts, at this point, I really don't care to know you. You have come across as arrogant, closed-minded, and rude. I do care enough, however, to point out to the world what a mistake it is to take your opinion as gospel.
You have fallen to using "absolutes" - blanket statements where you say, "this sucks" or "that blows", and you never really give an explanation of why you believe that way. We are forced to rely on your credibility.
QFT, you have none.
OH MY GOD, TIMMY! RUN FOR THE HILLS! SOMEONE ACTUALLY REALIZES THAT SHA NORAN HAS NO CREDIBILITY AND HAS TO BACK UP HIS/HER WORDS WITH PROOF! THE SCAM IS BLOWN!
I don't care if you say you've been playing the ranger for a long time, and so "you know what you are talking about". I don't know you. You may have been playing for a week. Just because you say you've been playing the ranger for a long time doesn't automagically make it true. Furthermore, it simply isn't relevant. This is the Internet, remember? I could say I'm Santa Claus and I think that Oath Shot is da bizzomb, but it wouldn't make it any more true or any more false because I said it.
You are closed-minded to a fault. You won't even consider alternate solutions or possibilities - change, growth, or innovation are closed books to you.
How can I trust someone like that? Point in fact, I can't. I can't even trust such a person to provide a serious, well-considered debate.
Sha, I am totally disgusted with your attitude, and your mannerisms. As I have said before, I don't know you, and hence, you have no credibility with me. What does this mean?
This means that when you give an opinion, and expect it to be taken as fact, then you absolutely must provide proof to back up your claim. Your opinion on it's own means nothing.
Finally, I want to address your plagiarism of the builds you have posted in your ill-fated guide. For the record;
Plagiarism is when you take the work of others, and present it as your own.
Quoting is when you take the work of others, and present it along side your own work.
What you have done is blatant plagiarism. Most of the builds that you have posted have appeared, in one way or the other, on this forum board, this website, or other places. Nothing sparkling new there, and if there was, it would be hard to pick out which parts are your own innovation and which parts are plagiarized, because you claim credit for the whole thing.
You presented a lot of builds, and to actually make the claim that you developed each and every one is ludicrous. This would imply that you have played each and every build for long enough to figure out what worked, and what didn't work, and had bought all of the correct equipment for each one, bought the correct runes, weapons, and armor, and spent countless hours testing the build until you had tweaked it to a point that you felt it worthy for the public.
UNLESS, of course, all of your builds are theory-craft, which brings us back to the point about your credibility - and how you have none, so presenting your opinion on theoretical builds with nothing more than a casual paragraph to back up why it does, or does not work, would just be completely stupid.
But the most likely reason is that you just stole them, and presented us, again, with your biased and personal opinion without supporting factual information.
Fix it. Or be laughed at forever.
I will close by saying that I wish I could have been more constructive in this post. But, the situation did not warrant, or merit, constructive criticism. It merited public derision, ridicule, and shame. But, to quote you,

Post regarding it again if you want, but I'm done. You're wrong. Sorry.

P.S. Not all rangers use bows. Just something that you might want to think about. |
