Every single post you make revolves around your perception of the "elite" players and them spending money. It just ends up sounding jealous and bitter.
Everyone wants to be good at whatever they choose to do whether it is their career or what they choose to do for fun. Anybody that tells you different is a liar and your assertion that you don't want to be good at what you do for fun is just to let yourself off the hook for being a failure.
Jesus I knew you had a few screws loose the last few months but this is just so far off base its ridiculous TJ. Do you realize the mental flip-flop you have had ? I wonder what went so wrong in your RL that it has changed you so much on here...
At first I thought you were trying to be funny or something then I read it again and you were serious. Definitely baffled me a bit there for sure...You seem to have trouble with understanding the fact that ANYONE can buy gear with FG. So if you buy everything and never struggled for it, then you have no right to belittle others who have no fg, dont spend any cash on the game and struggle with 50 ee items. IMO an "Elite Player" is anyone who plays a game for fun, helps others out and has a positive influence on it all. Just because someone spends a bunch of fg to buy the best gear in the game does not make them a top dog by any means in my eyes. Anyone that uses pixels to make drama pixels has some RL issues they need to work on.
I am not sure how you can come up with the notion that I am jealous and bitter about other players (I was going to say it was a late night rant, but he posted this at 11 am it says). The truth is my only bitterness is the fact that the game changed and ruined what I had spent a few months putting together. I started this game back in No Maze, soloing and welling days. All I wanted then was a Warlock to cast with. I did 4 real life trade sales to afford the gear. (decent intel stuff and an ice set 120 to 140 ee stuff, nothing fancy but good solo stuff) So I get my mq ice finally and I am gone for 3 days and come back in and the arena is GONE !! So yea....I rage quit mostly and my wife said the hell with it also later on. When I joined OutCast I sold them my Ice's at my buy price to help out Brian and Miah.
I wont go into my dislikes of the Catacombs, but its enough I stopped playing all together, well killing things in the cata that is. Now I mute and do other things at the same time, like watch movies with the wife or messing with my son I can left hand TransMute while we do legos on the floor with Mr. Jonathan Alexander. I should be muting right now, but after 6 hours of it today I need a break from it. So while I am kicked back in the recliner in front of my 55 inch Sony watching Resident Evil 4 (baby is down for the night and wife is tearing up facebook on her laptop). I am typing this and its probably taking an hour cause of all the action in this movie
So I stop doing MQs, I have deleted an SC Pally and a Sammy, then in HC a Monk and 1 or 2 Sammys. So I still have a Ninja and a Monk. Oh and then there is my pass rate in MQs granted I didnt do alot of them, but a 1 in 2.5 tries for 3 doors isnt too shabby (wife got pally in 10 mqs).
Career Guild Points Earned 167 @ 45 MQs
3 Door MQs 14/35 ~ GPs = 116
4 Door MQs 1/10 ~ GPs = 38 ~ FD5 SD4
So with my pass rate I could have made my whole account Monks if I cared about GPs, but I dont. I was great at passing 3 doors then the game was altered and I stopped trying for a warlock because the catas are not my cup of tea. So its just baffling to read your post. How am I a failure for choosing to quit when my goal was no longer viable ? Then turn to Muting and am in the top 10 of it. Not sure how I am jealous of others gear when I dont even use mine and sold the majority of it already also ?
So lets see here...
I have also spent money on the game to get what I wanted for gear and now I run a few bots for muting fg (still spend cash on their memberships also)
I was throwing away fg for awhile to help new people (and Benell
) by paying 1 fg per magical level when most people only pay 1 to 2 fg per.
I got a Med to host a HC Skilling Thread to help everyone be able to support each other.
I did those 2 HC Contests to help draw a few people to HC, speaking of which need to do another one.
I made the suggestion to make a Cata well for support welling with others.
I did a lot of pm'ing to help get several muting minor tweaks to help us all out there.
I always try to answer questions people put up and never stalk/flame others (posting in their threads to start drama) for any reason EVER.
The Rage and Grudges a few people carry around on this site does amaze me. Like there is several people that still go out of their way to rage me when they see a thread/post of mine. If I ask who they are I get some rage about how I am playing dumb and then they say something like, '3 years I said something to them they didnt like' !! haha !!
What it boils down to TJ, you and about 10 to 15 others in both SC & HC continue to make some of the most off the wall comments almost daily. Anyone can plainly see how you guys have the over whelming need to feed on pixel drama (well to anyone that is not part of this 'pixel circle jerk of drama-ragers' that is 
). You guys have obsessive rage compulsions that is just beyond you control. Odds are they have some very interesting Real Life issues that cause this constant need for them to use online drama as an outlet to vent their emotion angers out here. Instead they should be examining the real reason as to why they need to feed on making grief for others. welp time to make popcorn, so I shall conclude my short story here ps. A simple better blocker is a wonderful thing and can do wonders. When you get upset over pixels that will NEVER impact your REAL LIFE, then you need to see a doctor. Thats not a joke, slander, put-down etc....it is real advise that should be considered carefully. If your only fun online is being a pixel bully then your Real Life needs to be healed before the future is ruined...
