i quit playing

this whole ranking system is starting to annoy me now, people are now only accepting rank 6+ into their guilds and pugs, im only rank 4 atm ONLY because i never started to pvp until i had all my stuff unlocked, which was up until 1 month and a half ago. SO basically all these rank 6's started pvping before me and became rank 6, now i must go through hell everyday to find a group and make about 1 fame an hour, i cant join a good guild because im not rank 6, i guess ill just keep gaining 1 fame an hour and hopefully become rank 6 in the next 2 months or so

People who only accept people with rank/fame are stupid. That's really the end of it.

countrary to the advertisement in the gaming magazines since years before launch, the experience during the Beta Weekend Events, the experience of Alpha Testers, the advertisments just before and during launch, and what is clearly written on each game box:


This game has stopped being "game skill > time played" when the horrid skillgrind was introduced.

please, God, just seperate the PvP and PvE portions of the game already.

please. make them totally seperate and make them have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

seperate PvE from PvP and give the PvPers every skill and every piece of equipment in the game. and leave the rest of the game the way it was designed.

please, God, save us from the 24/7 complaints.

My eyes bleed reading that thread. I agree with the previous poster just split them up. I'm getting a little tired of the whining myself.

You know what's even worse? People who whine about others whining.

I hear it's possible to not click on threads with titles that sound suspiciously like complaint threads to you. Failing that, there's also this strange process people call hitting the Back button when you notice the thread is saying stuff that you don't like.

But, such techniques are obviously difficult to master. In fact, many students of the internet make such blunders as posting in a thread they don't like in an inflammatory manner, breathing far more life into the thread than it would have had if they would have just ignored it!

Yeah it was supposed to be, but it's really impossible to have it that way in an RPG. When you've got things like spirits blocking pathways, and people body blocking ghosts you KNOW things are f***ed up. Honestly, spirits and ghosts taking physical form? Yeah, right. It's not skill if you can just stand there and stop a ghost to win.

The HoH should be last group standing wins, end of story.

I'm still holding out for some objective based PvP scenarios... UT2004 style. Phinney mentioned the old "Siege of Fort Koga" map in his "State of the Game" letter so I'm HOPING that something allow those lines might be in the works.
