We participated back then, did our fair share of /ccr, we were part of shaping this game, and we got some unique untradeable items for it.
And now we're just elitist idiots, because of that?

You know what? To hell with leveling, make everyone Level 50 as they join the game, then we can all be equal elitist idiots, all wearing Beta clothes.

-Siepher out.

Having beta clothes doesn't mean you sent in bug reports or contributed to the community in any form. Just means you paid 5 bucks for a preorder copy of MXO.

I should have put it in another way - I did.

Meh, then let me say it.

YOUR ITEMS DONT MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE.

Ask Cap how many times Ive asked him for that mask. None, not once ever. never hit up Con for it either.

YOUR ITEMS DONT MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE.

And from you, someone who (as far as I know) doesn't have any special items, I can accept that as a valid response

But not from someone who is part of the have's, as opposed to the have-not's. It's kind've like a rich guy saying "Money isn't everything!" to the hobo begging for a quarter.

Of course, if Cap0ne wishes to have a valid point, all he has to do is delete those special items. They don't make him who he is, right?

On a side note- no matter what happens in this place, no one is ever happy, it's nice to be on the side that doesn't care. I didn't get into beta cause i live in canada, so i'm fine with hyper jump beta, i'm fine with no more cinematics, i've just grown tired of complaining about the issues that get nothing accomplished.

Rarebit doesn't give a *poop* what you or i or anyone thinks, kk gg thanks for comming out.

And sneaker as much as i see the point your trying to make, you can't bust his balls cause he got lucky, if you had it you'd be making the same arguement he is, and things would be completely different. Yeah it sucks to not get a reward, sucks more if your reward is a piece of crap, but don't make it as simple as saying things would be better if he didn't have the mask. Or that he's opinion can be validated any more or less - these forums are just full of hot air.

My intent was not to "bust his balls", and I apologize if that's how it was viewed.

I'm saying that I cannot accept an argument of "It means nothing" from someone who has everything.

I do believe it's a reasonable stance, is it not?

Yes, I have an Assassin's Mask and an FM-1500. Good for me, I'm honored to have them. Unfortunately both won't pay for my college education. I couldn't give any less of a crap if someone else won them and I didn't. They mean nothing to me except 1. Good buffs and 2. They look cool. At least I use them as opposed to putting them in my email or on another character and boast about the fact that I have them.

So can I get your point to this or are you just trolling me again? Let me know so I can report you and the mods can MAKE YOU stop trolling me for stupid reasons other than you THINK I have an ego.

Don't be overly insensitive, Cap. You can't jump on some folks for wanting items and/or threatening to quit, and then proclaim that I'm a troll when I state why your opinion in this situation is biased and invalid.

You don't agree? Cool, I understand. But I've got a rather solid point, in my humble opinion.

Actually you're a troll for attacking my opinion that other people's opinions are stupid after you exclaimed in /tells a few days ago about how much you think I hate you on DN1 and it's obvious you replied just because you don't like me--BUT HEY, what do I know?

Actually I CAN tell people to quit if they're THREATENING TO because they THREATENED TO. I'm not bringing up an idea they didn't have before. I gave my opinion about how leaving the game if beta clothing is given out is stupid. You can either disagree with me and actually back up your point or agree with me or look like you're replying pointlessly. Up to you.

I'd appreciate it if you calmed down, Cap0ne. I don't want this thread to become locked, because I for one would like to hear more opinions on this subject

You've made your opinion very clear - that special items mean nothing. I understand that, but I am saying that your opinion, in my opinion, doesn't hold any weight, due to the fact that you already have the items people desire. Therefore, it's easy for you to say that they mean nothing.

If you consider me a troll because I consider your opinion invalid due to clearly explained reasons, that's fine.

Trace, at this point you're saying 'Oh, but don't forget Syntax' or 'No no, I'm aware of Syntax' more often than the Syntaxian Machinists are defending how we got our FM-1500s. We get it: you've acknowledged us and consider us the exception. Shush.

I've been spending a lot of time on Syntax lately, and one thing that has struck me is the fact that there is a larger population than Recursion and there is less drama!

Syntaxians, you fail miserably at Drama.  If you need any pointers, I've had (more than) my fair share of it, hit me up for tips! SMILEY

Sorry Proc, I have at least fifteen more mentions of it before I'm halfway there. It's a preemptive strike

Beta jacket means you sent in a lot of bug reports.

You're goading Cap0ne into furthur degeneration and possible flames, I ask that you stop as well if you don't want this to be locked. Now we may logically state our opinions one more time and defend in a mature manner, all right? Just because Cap0ne has special items doesn't mean his opinion isn't valid. I have special items not everyone has (less now) in a manner, yet my opinion counts correct? You have some form of common sense, does that immediately mean you shouldn't post in the Vector boards?

Not really deep, more like people yelling their opinion at other people then immediately covering their ears and going 'lalalalalalalalalala...... lalalalalalala' while the other person responds.

The reason why this has happened has been stated, stated to death I might add. Some 'Vet's' agree with it, some 'Vet's' don't most inbetweeners agree with it. Not everyone is ever going to be happy, but then the conversation took a turn about items reserved for Beta. Beta items should be kept for Beta people, I couldn't care less about beta clothing but, if new players start getting the items due to a marketing incentive, surely 'Vet's' can see why we're a bit miffed as we'd be able to see why they should be miffed that people are getting them.

A Vet reward system can be put in place and if spent long enough everyone will get the rewards anyway.
So players who were in beta can be now be distinguished just by the Beta gear... Oh and the reputations they've built up.
