ruthless? Yer so right: those evil egg-sucking LOTCers are the only group of
players to cheat and exploit bugs. Grow up and get a grip.

Maybe you should do what the Bear Clan or People are doing..threatening to
quit. Unless of course that $2.50 you spend a week for entertainment (which
it is obvious you aren't being entertained) is mere chump change and you
enjoy the thought of an early ulcer.

If they are paying money to play this game, they have every right to ask for
those noble points. If they want to quit over that issue, that it their
right as well. What difference does it make to you. Just b/c you are passive
enough not to raise a stink about bugs doesn't mean those that do are the
bad guys...

IF you would drop the chip off your childish shoulders, you would understand
that the proper addressing of bugs affects all players. Even you. If you'd
be a bit more friendly about all this perhaps they would be willing to help
you in dealing with bugs.

Remember that debate about roleplayers and gamers. How about another
category..those that know it's a game and can drop the anger outside the
game, and those that carry it like some pus-filled sore.

But hey. It's obvious it's ALL personal for you.

Try prozac for your anger. I swear, some of you lotc haters forget that this
is a game and can't quit figure out when to lose the attitude and start
cooperating.

Oh well. I once thought you were a pretty smart guy. Now I know you can't
see the metaphorical forest from the trees. This is why you are such a
crappy leader. Unwise.
