"you are - friends are way ahead of them as far as levels go and they need every
chance they can to catch up."

That is part of it, I'd like to catch up, but I also don't want wait around
camping for items. That's boring. I get my enjoyment by Killing mobs. That's
what I like to do. Destroy, kill, rape, pillage and plunder. That is what I want
to "role-play".

"But someone did ask why Twinking bothered us so much, and I gave an honest
answer without trying to force anyone to conform to my POV."

But others have, repeatedly in pervious posts. They don't use words like "I
don't enjoy..." or "I shouldn't", they say things like "They shouldn't..." or
"they won't enjoy their time". Those words a projections of their thoughts and
beliefs of how others should play. When I saw "I", I'm referring to those who
have who have items given to them by higher level friends because that's the
only perspective I can speak for, the perspective I play from.

"anger vibe"
I'm annoyed, more than anything at those who constantly rail against the game
choices I make. Let me play my game, you play yours, and quit whining about
twinked characters.

"camping"
There will always be camping as long as valuable item returns to the same
location. Nothing can be done about that, but sitting in line for 8 hours
waiting for you turn at some Sword of Unholy Ass-Kicking is not my idea of fun.

"If you couldn't give a crap about ITEMS THAT ARE NOT REAL then why not give me
your Serp Bracers? :)"
Heading for the Dark Side Luke? And I thought you were against twinking....

"And as far as the "Working damn hard" "nice spread" comments you made: If this
is all just some mixed up little insignificant universe that matters nothing to
you - go into the character selection screen, pick your Monk that has all those
ITEMS THAT ARE NOT REAL, and click "Delete" "

You miss the point. I need those items to do what I want to do in the game. Like
I said, I would play the game naked if I could, but I can't. I can't play Kane
from Kung-Fu because the game system is setup where I need those items. Don't
blame me, I didn't make the rules, Verant did.

As for the rest of that, its not the items that matter to me, its the
interaction with those players around me that I enjoy, not spending my time
hunting down items. I opt out of the loot cycle as often as possible, letting my
teammates take the items. If you need those items to focus your group play,
perhaps your the one who should (and I quote) 'click "Delete"'.
