I didn't know it was possible to gather so much stupidity in one place. It's like a delicious trainwreck of stupidity.

So fun to feed it.

Oh and bull-shitake mushrooms to that noise. Holy sugar these guys are dumb.

Sometimes it's fun to reverse-troll, but then you realize the original guy you thought was a troll was actually serious.

Those boards are dangerous.

Some of the people in the relic thread would probably come to your house and stab you if they could. lol

[Not Kuno]

I think some of these people just become extra retarded when they are exposed to sunlight. Hopefully when the servers come up again they'll be less mind-numbingly retarded.

Shyeah they would. I've trolled that thread so long that I'm not even sure relics really deserve a big update anymore.

I mean, where's the hole in this logic?:
1) Lets say you're someone in 2005 with perfect TP gear. You have your Panther Mask +1. You have Dusk +1 hands and feet. You have Speed belt. You have a Behemoth Mantle +1. You have a Peacock Charm to go with your O-hat. Heck, you have a K-club. You have a Igqira Weskit for your black mage too, just because you're a baller.
2) You can either keep your awesome TP gear or sell it and buy a relic.

Case A) You sell it and get a relic - It's 2011, and you have the second best weapon for your weapon class after having the best weapon for half a decade.
Case B) You don't sell it. - It's 2011, and you've watched your shinies get less and less valuable for half a decade. There are some whose value totally evaporated overnight like Panther Mask and Weskit. Now your relic worth of gil is worth 50mil if you're lucky.

Is the second best weapon for your weapon class worth 50mil? Would having the best weapon for 5 years be worth 50mil?

Apart from dumping your gear and just holding gil for the last 5 years, I can't really think of anything you could have invested in that has retained its value particularly well.

I really think what SE is trying to convey to it's players is "the time for mindless grinding on xp and gears is over, lets just have fun now", at least in my eyes. Some people just have a hard time accepting change and moving on.
