Im not contradicting myself anywhere, your ripping my words out of other 'in context' replies and making them 'out of context' to suit your downplay attempt, then belittling me to make it seem like you are the grownup, lol.
I beleive all i said previously was that some RP attampts felt fake and forced, as well as that silent killers still exist whom take aim at fresh pins with no eq or edges.
Im not complaining about anything and dont care if my fresh pins get mashed by a decked out edged up cabaled char who needs to sneak up on a char wearing rank 30 gear to pad their record, some people are just upset that i pointed it out ;)

I just want to note that I have single-handedly revived the forums
Some of that level 30 gear though. Obsidian leaves with a muddy bauble provide better protection than ALMOST all rare level 50 leg gear. Just because you can acquire something at a low rank does not mean it is not still useful at the top of your game, this is a change that manifested in the shadows, it is not talked about, its not about power creep. Its the constant endeavor to keep items useful and viable in an ever changing world. Look at the slow and steady upgrades we see to existing equipment. Many changes I feel are probably still waiting to be discovered. The spell forged equipment, as well as skill enhancements to equipment have breathed new life into some old forgotten items. And with every change, all items become closer in value depending upon situations. Its been a slow steady draw toward the center, balance becoming its own force, possibly without pretext or planning, but happening regardless.
