Quote:Are you saying that since you buy it on Ebay it must be legit? I hate to break it to you, but I'm sure that many of those items are just as duped as the rest of them.
I don't ask where the items came from when I purchase them. I'd like to think they are all legit - that blizzard tries really hard to stop all duping and hacks so that I dont buy illegitamet items- so its with this happy attitude that I buy my items.
Quote:I guess that makes your "guide" infinitely more useful. Do you need it spelled out how really, really stupid it is to buy ITAMZ from ebay?
I respect your opinion, however, it is still just an opinion, not a fact. Keep that in mind. I feel that the money I would of spent on buying other games is spent on playing diablo and I personally have no problems with that, but I'm sorry you do. I do not need moral lectures on my personal prefrences. This is a web-site for opinions and facts of a game, not of negative critisicm and flaming, is it?
Quote:We recently had someone with just this attitude trolling on the Diabloii.net Druid forum. He couldn't understand that when you talk of dueling, you should not bring up specific instances and assume they hold for all situations. In this, you appear to be comparing someone who seems to be good a dueling (yourself) with someone who is less good at dueling. If you really want to make a strong case, compare yourself to someone who knows what he's doing with a PvP character. Also note that using powerful items does not necessarily make one good at dueling.
Tuche' I suppose it seems like I'm trying to give the appearance of someone whom is better than everyone else and "knows" it all when in fact, I was merly trying to defend my 'guide' against the claims that, and I quote you here, a "SPECIFIC" type of character could kill me, when in fact I've dueled these types of barbarians before and killed them personally. However, I have not fought everyone on battle.net, now have I? And I know from plenty of experience that there is an antithesis for every character build.
It appears that most of the people here assume I think my build is not only HIGH and MIGHTY, but indomitable. I do not think this way at all, but I can see where I said "and can tell you now without hesitation that the DR sorcie is the BEST build" could be interpetdid as egocentric. Please cut me some slack. This is my first guide and I was excited to release it. I wrote the guide out of enthuasim, not to be an self-centered egotistic idealist. But now I feel ashamed and I didn't even do anything wrong. If it makes you all happy, I will edit out how I FEEL about my guide in my guide (since this is causing me more grief than anything) and take out the refferences to items altogeather and just recommend a quality of gear you should possess without mentioning anything in particular. Really, if thats what it takes to get a little respect around here, I'll do it. Like I said, I wasnt trying to step on toes, I was excited to be releasing what I felt was a quality guide...
Are my feelings hurt? A little. I must admit I wasn't expecting to get flammed for my playing style. We all have different playing styles. But it is the way of people to strike down that which they don't like or understand. I'd prefer constructive critisicm, but flames get the point across just as well. It can only mean that you guys really dont like my guide. I'm a reasonable individual and, as I said above, will gladly remove whatever you think needs to be edited from my guide to make it more fitting for the LL. Any opinions on how to do this welcome.
