Subject: Twinkers are just plain idiots


well well well...what have i *hic* started. Sems two me dat a slite
debate be goin on while i be away.

I'm going to steer from my whole drunk arguement and go talk normal so
every here can be understanding of what i have to say. That whole MY
GAME, MY MONEY agruement is old and just an exscuse for someone to say

"screw you....i don't care what you think...i'll do what I want and I
don't care about anyone else"

thats what the whole MY MONEY, MY GAME arguement means...and if you
disagree with that you are wrong. The whole reason people say that is so
they can justify what ever they do even when they are wrong. This is a
roleplaying game with many many people playing at one time.

A massive multiplayer game right? Massively Multiplayer.....i think
everyone can agree with that. And wheather or not you realize it
everything you do has an effect on the other people who play the game.
Every orc pawn you kill, every foraged piece of food you drop...it all has
an effect on the other people on the server.

Now that we have that understood....lets talk about twinking. Everytime
you twink you take something away from someone who is at the right level
to have that item. At 19 or 17 or 22 or whatever level he was...he took
away an executioners hood from some 45th+ level character. He took the
serpentine bracers away from some 40th+ level character who deserved it.

And it's not the fact that he can go and get another one...it's the fact
that he is just going to have to wait that much longer because there is
some chump monk who can't earn his own equipment...he has to have older
friends help him out or just use his own older character to get things for
him cause he can't play the game like it was meant to be played.

I hate twinking and i hate twinkers because you take things away from
people who rightfully deserve those items. I don't care if your 48th
level kill stealing wizard had to shoot down the hopes of a group of 45th
levels to get the item....you still took it from them and gave it to
someone who is 1/2 their age...maybe younger. Everytime you twink an item
you screw someone who REALLY AND TRULEY DESERVES THE ITEM.

I think the one thing that people don't realize about this game and any
other game is that it is everyones responsibility to provide a roleplaying
environment. it is EVERYONES responsibility to PROVIDE a ROLEPLAYING
ENVIRONMENT....it is a massively multiplayer roleplaying game after
all.....
