Lord GuineaToad had me fast like a jew on Yom Kippur for 7 days to repent for all of this community's sins. Now that the holidays are over, I'm back, bros.

Just a few points I wanted to touch on in my absence..

1. Relax on the resist system ranting
   • Difficulty is finding the medium of everyone's perception of "classic," what people think classic was like from past forums/articles, and what classic truly was at some point in time
   • For everyone's sake, we need to start agreeing to disagree on minutiae - its all clutter that affects our time line
2. Some posters have more useful information than you, deal with it
   • Lets try to stop arguing with folks who have extensive knowledge of classic - linking a single quote from a random forum in 2002 that aligns with your POV needs to stop
   • Our greatest source of information is ourselves - someone like Kringe, hate him or love him, has more PVP knowledge of classic than anyone, save a few, on this forum

     -(for example, my main character had 120+ days played by December 1999, hit 50 in May '99, and I had tons of PVP background as a 'random PK', yet I would still look to Kringe/a few others for their thoughts first)
     

3. Stop posting misinformation
   • If you didnt experience it, don't post about it - ask questions, be critical of something, but stop pretending like you went through it
   • Darworth comes to mind as someone who was an eternal lowbie (maybe hit 50 near kunark?), yet posts like he knows the balance of high level pvp back in classic
   • Our focus has to be top down, meaning we need to balance L45+ first; while low and midlevel pvp is great and fun, it will always be full of complete imbalances and focusing on it pushes back our time line significantly
   • Folks from classic 1999 pvp servers who were eternal lowbies need to let end game get balanced first

All I got for now bros, lets hit the showers, sweep the floor of dust and get out there for a great second half.
