See, this is what "touched a nerve" with me before. You posted what YOU want and what YOU think should be done and how YOU think things work. And here you've done it again. Last time you followed up by saying that you were actually just wondering if maybe I'd like to try another class, not that you were trying to tell me what to do or flame or belittle or anything.

How are you going to explain this time?

Are people not allowed to state their opinion on a forum regarding a topic such as "The Solo Artist Challenge". I was just trying to bring up a discussion about some things that I observed while reading and using my experience playing the game. If you read my post, I have praised your work in all facets and have not belittled your accomplishments one bit. If this thread is meant to only show when you check off another target and no discussion about the challenge itself then that is fine I have nothing else to say. However I find it hard to believe that I am the only one out there that has read the stuff and plays a class that would not even be able to solo most of the 'warm up' stuff.

Why is it absurd to suggest that rogues and warriors ( probably the worst solo classes in game for obvi reasons) have easier 'warm up' targets, Discipline etc targets and get praised for their work as a "Solo Artist" as well. I feel that the term "Solo Artist" should apply to anyone up for a challenge, but it has to be fair. This is why on EQ live, whenever mages/necros duel'd they had to summon their pet during the battle not before it to be fair to the warrior class they were fighting. I was just trying to start a discussion about the potential on expanding the list of targets that would suit some of the weaker solo classes so people can come here and brag about those accomplishments as well.

Also the whole point of putting a entire thread up like this is to show the public people's accomplishments and open discussion/critique on how things are accomplished. If you feel no one is allowed to discuss manners that involve the challenge itself then I don't see the point especially if one opinion from the community bothers you this much. I am also in no way telling you what to do. You owe me nothing, nothing I say should force you to do one thing or another and I am sorry you felt that was what I was trying to do.

I sort of considered my query like a reporter interviewing Michael Jordan after a game. He can ask what he wants and MJ can choose whether or not to answer it, but he doesn't stand up on a soap box and berate the reporter. Other reporters may write about the outspoken reporter bc thats their job; to report. As an outsider I was just curious to see what a professional solo artist like yourself had thought about the idea, as obviously you are a very competitive person who loves challenges; while reading the stuff at work, I thought it would be fun to hear if you had given any thought to it.
