Oh and lest I forget it about not having an idea what it is without hunterkit, here's a thought: I've been grinding for years without one. I can tell anyone and everyone: I do not need it.
Where everyone of you were buying HK's for shits and giggles and got their chars plvl'd by their main toons - I've been manually grinding mine since the very beginning of RBF. Instead of the bossdrops that were handed out, I had to manually gear my toon with what I got through pvE.
Having to kill 3000 or 4000 of a certain mob, that's nothing. It just means an extra level (or maybe two) at that same spot rather than moving on to the next. Hence, if that's the only requirement for the title - I'll have it before the mobs are grey.
I've been laughed at for being a pvE whore for literally years, and in the same sentence I'm being told I don't know what it is to pvE.
Don't know how to pvp? When I played Last Chaos, I was kicked out of an rpk guild for rpk'ing too much - go figure. I was literally server KOS my entire time on there, but what they gonna do except dying? No teleport revenge there - you actually had to hunt. By the time they racked up a pt stronk enough, I was long gone. That's per definition an assassin, only people don't know how to play to their strenghts here and know only one thing: gangbang it and outgear it.
When I opt to stay out of pvp, it's not because I'm too carebear for that shit, it's because I can't be bothered playing on an imbalanced field full of little shits that got their mom's credit card and live next to a motherfucking tank outside of their windows.
If it's a fair game, I'll pvp just as much - if not more than anyone else, only I don't feel the need to prove who's got the biggest dick regardless of who's laying in the mud.
But hey, I'm only a carebear - so what do i know anyway.
Do I sound a bit miffed? That's probably because I am.
Disagree with something? Fine, I do too.
Sprout your opinion just like anyone else, me included? Fine, do so - opinions must be heard.
Just don't tell me what it is that I want/don't want - I'll decide that for myself. I'm perfectly capable of doing just that - I don't need anyone holding my hand throughout the process.
Especially if things re taken out of context or are exaggerated for drama's sake and only to prove ones POV - when it's not what has actually been said.
