Awww.

Newsflash: no you don't. If you want to compete, fire up Half Life and compete for frags. There's
competition. EQ is not.

Says who? Do you have the same starting point in life as the rich kid across the street? No, you
don't. As I said, life is tough like that. EQ doesn't stand for equal, buddy.

No! You are where you would be anyway. She has some advantage, but it's not an advantage OVER YOU.
Unless you are playing on Rallos Zek or +pvp you are very misguided as to the true nature of EQ.

How exactly is it at your expense?

Yeah, it's time for a new order! A revolution! Kind of like 1917, right?

"Red Norrath" does have a sound to it.

Oh, come on! Are you saying you're having difficulty to find kills because of twinkers? The % of
twinkers in the game is probably 5-10 MAX. Norrath is crowded, no doubt, but don't blame twinkers
for hunting hardships.

Uh, no. Don't you find kill stealing or Guild camping worse? Man, it looks like you're really fired
up about this, eh?

Listen, if you're on Solusek Ro, I might help you out, you know? Would 10-20pp help the revolution?

As I said, the twinker's affect on hunting is negligible, at best. Can you prove the contrary?

Obviously. I bow before your superior intellect, mighty one.

Hah. I'm level 13, and I have 60pp in the bank. All rightfully earned. I can hardly play enough with
one character, let alone two or more.

Ever hear the phrase "I might disagree with your opinion, but I'll fight to the death to let you
voice it"? Well this is the same. I might frown upon twinkers, but I'll do anything to preserve
their freedom to do as they wish.

Do you disagree, comrade?
