Arc wins again. It really is not even sport with this one any more.

Arc doesn't stand on rainbows, he straddles them.

I'm not going to be baited. Not by you, Reg, nor anyone else. I said I'm not trying to get into a chest-thumping contest.


I meant that.


This board isn't a contest of egos nor should it be used as a feeding frenzy for the trolls.


It's for civilized discussion and counterpoints on an arguement.


So, keep posting your pictures or whatever else you need to make yourself feel better.


I meant what I said earlier.


And I stand by that.


If you and those like you choose to swim in the mud, self-congratulating yourselves on an Internet board, well . . . there's not much I can do to stop you.


The choice to step-up, and be an adult, must be yours.

But with posters like you it always will be. I was not apart of this middle school pissing contest, I just call them like I see them.

Arden.. directly responding to a bait is being baited.. no matter how you respond. Responding to a troll by saying, "I'm not playing with you cause I'm more mature!" Is no more constructive then the the UMAD image.

It would be sweet if Arden went back to letting me ignore him, but he's apparently a glutton for punishment.

And sadly, I know you actually believe that.


When you, and those like you decide to step up as adults, I'll still treat you fairly.


Others poster may get chased off with this behavior, but I won't and I don't.


Again, your call.

You know I get the feeling that Arcilite_I and Ardenwolfe like to argue.

This is valid.


But, let me tell you something, a lot of the posters here, and those visiting, fear posting on the boards because of responses like this.


They get run off because of this behavior.


They don't want to get trolled.


I don't think the moderators nor owner(s) want a climate so base that it runs off potential traffic. But, that's what this behavior does. I scares those who may add to the discussion.


And, I'm sorry to say, if you post a title of a thread, and then attempt to deny it with semantics, well . . . you really do need to be called out on it.


Syrus, of course, I expect the trolls to jump all over me. In fact, I don't even expect my fellow posters to speak out against it.


But I will defend those with a valid counterpoint whether I like them or not.


That said, questing IS leveling.


We can sidetrack till the cows come home, but I agree with those who call Arc with his play on semnatics.


Now, he wants it to be his way.


But, it's the other way.


Yes, leveling is fast. But, also, yes, questing is leveling.


Don't play King Soloman on that one.

Arden take this post as the unbias post it is because I am being sincere here..


Sure Arc didn't directly mention that dungeon finder was the factor making leveling to quick.


(I did, and not everyone can be as smart as me.)


Seriously though, so he didn't say it was dungeons specifically, but he did say that he found his quests greying out way to soon, maybe he had not pin pointed the actual cause of this yet, but he knew something was a little off here and that was what his thread is about. So that we could discuss it and maybe figure out why.


That did happen, again my brilliant deduction.


Arc was right something was wrong with the speed of leveling, who cares if he didn't call the exact reason, that is all he was trying to take credit for. And who cares!


Arden why are you going so far out of your way to prove Arc wrong? Why are you trying to make sure he knows he didn't point out the exact reason for the leveling speed? This is what I call anti-trolling.


If a poster like Aweunwinig would have posted the same thing you wouldn't have gone out of your way to prove her wrong, you're targetting trolls and making sure they know when they are wrong, its just as bad as trolling.


If you are really truly bothered by Trolls so much, you must do the only thing that prevents trolling, and that is to ignore it. Don't feed the Trolls..otherwise you are contributing to the problem just as much as the trolls.


Think about a new player coming to this forum and reading this thread, seeing this argument. Now think about that same player reading the thread if it had ended at Arc's post "Boooom Headshot."
