You get one reply, MoS. One. You truly do deserve your warns. First though,
I'd like to apologize to everyone in both Empire and Desolate Carnage (excepting MoS
) for my post here. I will try to keep it clean and short.Quote (MoS. @ Sat, Mar 24 2007, 12:35pm)
Posting this here because #1 it's relevant to myself and the Ladder Slasher forum and #2 is because I'm sure it will get read by the target audience.
Not my fault that you are upset that you can't afford LS items... Oh wait, you probably have more items worth more than I do and are definately ahead of me in Levels...
Oh, so I get it now, you apparently don't understand sarcasm at all.
Ladder Slasher started as a game to take FG out of the system. Plain and simple.
Paul wants players with lots of FG to play this game so that the 5% will help weed out the FG. The Guild Points is just a "ego boost" that can go along with the FG cleansing.
To go on from this point... Let's see, what does d2jsp stand for? Diablo 2 Javascript Parser... You're on a Diablo 2 website. There are plenty of people on this site who have thousands and thousands and thousands of FG, simply for playing Diablo 2 and being good at it. Paul has made the game to be a time killer for some players who enjoy the Forum but are bored with Diablo, as well as a nice way to cut down on the over all FG in the system currently.
This wasn't a game meant for people with 2 posts and 0 FG to pickup and be godly at. How long do you think takes people to be "godly" at a game? Not over night. If you're mad that low level items are more expensive, so be it, more players, more demand. Simple economics.
If you're mad that someone is buying items and making a profit? Be mad, simple economics. Let's not e-rage and say personal attacks such as "when are your warns coming off"? Simple, when the the Moderators feel that they should. Go e-rage elsewhere.
If you couldn't understand my post without resorting to flaming, thats your problem, not mine.
First, this doesn't concern anybody but you and me. Your ranting because you did not get the opportunity to pop off another shot. That's all I see of your post.
Second, what I do or do not have is really not for you to guess at. I know I probably have a lot less than you think I do, though.
Third, D2JSP, which I have a KEY for, no longer exists. It is not available for download. You can no longer buy the key. D2JSP is the name of a site, the parser is effectively gone.
Fourth, you may be right. Ls may perhaps have originally been placed here to remove fg from the economy. I do not believe, honestly now, that that is still the case. Too many people are buying, you know, like paying real cash, for forum gold for this game, for that to be correct. In fact, I would guess this game really brings more forum gold IN to the economy, than it removes. Now I could be wrong, I admit that, I'm not god, I don't know everything, but that would be my guess.
Fifth, I never said anything about godly. I usually avoid true "godly" trades, if you hadn't noticed. I've never really
wanted to be godly. I just like to have something to play. And for the moment, d2 doesn't really fit that bill for me. I'm taking a break, so to speak. Have been for a couple months now. Ladder Slasher is fun, or was, in a way I haven't seen in a lot of years. I actually LIKE text based games. I remember playing text based games. I remember when text based, and basic map style games, was about all I had to play. Every time I see something that hurts the game, every time I see something that takes a little bit of the fun away, you BET I'm going to say something. Those stars by my name? They didn't come from somebody donating under my name. They came from THIS GAME. Not for the fg so much, most of that I just dumped into either my guild, or the raffle (have paul verify my gold logs, if you don't believe me). I donated because I liked the game. I saw something that I wanted to see continue to grow and improve. I've been disappointed. And I'm really very sorry to say that. Especially in this forum, and DEFINITELY in this topic, for this GREAT pair of guilds.
Last, but not least, your problem here did not concern JSP. Your issue was with me. If you had to air it publicly, you could have posted this in my guild's topic, no need to... lessen... this topic with your gripe. Otherwise, you are not blocked from sending me pms. Fill up my inbox. I can read and/or delete with the best of them. I get a little out of hand occasionally. I'm a pretty outspoken person. However, I at least keep it confined. Maybe you should learn that trick. It would be one of those little things you could do to improve yourself. I will never be anything but outspoken. The fact I confine it is what makes me tolerable. When will you learn the same lesson?
Again, DC and Empire, I apologize for this intrusion into your topic. Please forgive me.
