To be fair, he played with a large collective TW crowd and couldn't grasp that really. I think it's a vicious cycle that Pessi has created here. The more that pile on and tell him he's wrong, the more he adamantly believes is right and the more people tell him he's stupid and the more he adamantly insists he's not. It all started with Pessi.
You're partly right. Long ago after the initial and marginally infamous "princess" debacle I came to realize two things.
1. A lot of people here are simply fucking elitists.
2. You guys always latch onto someone to be a scapegoat.
Most of you only started gunning for me full-time when they other two noggers who kept selling accounts and shit left and zeph ultimately took a bench seat simply to take the occasional pot-shot and be a a clinging shit-nugget on the ass of the TW sub-forum.
A long time ago (probably just before TBC started up) I realized I didn't care, and most of you fuckers will do whatever you could to prove me wrong on anything you could get your hands on. At that point I stopped caring about trying to be right or wrong. And since then nearly all of my points have been instinctive, impulsive and not really thinking too much on it. I use shit people tell me in other forums, IRL, etc. and cobble it together with other random stuff and serve it up hot and fresh and you know what?
You fuckers eat it all up readily and heartily.
So I gave up trying to prove any of you assholes right or wrong, and I could give a fuck about what you think about me or how I play the game. Hell I don't even know if anyone on here plays on Bonechewer or not, and I never will. Because even if any of you did, jumping on the Feannag-Princess bandwagon from my own realm would probably earn you some flak and e-cred to boot.
As for the oldschool StK and Adren, I do feel a bit bad about being so obstinate most of the time. I turtled after taking some advice (mostly from DR, who was one of the MTs before Adren stepped up with his warrior) because I kept getting whispers from 5+ people on a regular basis on how I should do this and that, and none of them were even playing tanks. You can only take so much advice before you simply say fuck it and shut down. I gemmed/enchanted my gear along the lines most tanks should, but a couple of minor things was what earned the gripes.
Adren is right about the mathematics of the game. But I would never mentally get to that level, because I had already done that with Tribes in the past and from then on it was a job and it was no longer fun. And I wasn't about ready to let WoW go that way as well, if I'm not having fun what's the point of playing?
And it was the fun stuff I most remember StK for, listening to Adren bitch at Mossy for levitating him because he KNEW it was Mossy all the time. Running with 25 during All Hallow's Holiday trying to get squashlings and laughing about how we each got what the other one wanted/needed. And doing Heartbreaker-10 before they nerfed XT002 and pushing on Mimiron before they nerfed/fixed the location issues. And even when we wiped in Ulduar on 25s, and Adren got stuck outside and ganked by allies and hearing him yell over vent for EVERYONE to pile outside and beat the shit out of them. Those are the good times I remember.
So if you have fun laughing at me/making fun of me then go right ahead. I already saw some of you fuckers NEED me to be the scapegoat/scrub to make you feel better about playing the game, my 2-month hiatus from this sub-forum proved it.
I could be better at this game if I wanted to, but I don't feel if I did I would lose the fun of the game. But who knows, I have plenty of 60s from a RAF link I could always sneak on YOUR realm and into YOUR guild. And wouldn't that be worth a laugh?
