You don't have a firm grasp on probability do you? Are you really equating the probability of me not experiencing bards kiting to an extent that it ruins game play with the probability of you getting AIDS? The amount of holes in that analogy is ridiculous - just a few are: population size (billions vs thousands), risk factors (you actively avoid AIDS, where as people here actively seek out zones affected by bard kiting), duration... the list really goes on and on. Basically equating you getting AIDS with this issue simply doesn't apply in any regard, at least within the context of the point I was trying to make with my post...

Also, I wasn't saying that it doesn't happen. The whole premise of this post is that we need another server because the bard kiting issue is such a huge problem on the current server and I was simply offering anecdotal evidence that as someone who has probably spent more time playing here than 95% of the people on these forums, I don't see it as such since I've personally never encountered the problem. That isn't to say that it doesn't happen, but the amount of bitching about bards versus the amount of trouble they actually cause is ridiculous. People who sit in OT and complain about bards are whiny, entitled cry babies who would rather complain about their situation than find a solution. I've leveled 4 characters to 60, as well as a handful of others into the 50s, and none of them spent significant time in OT. To use your AIDS comparison, going to OT being surprised by bards kiting is like going to a gay orgy*, not wearing a condom and then being surprised when you catch something - wrap your shit up, or don't go to OT and you probably won't have a problem.

*gay orgy specifically used since the risk factors for transmitted diseases are much higher via unprotected anal sex.

Your hostility is not necessary and makes you look like a hot tempered fool. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful day what with ignorance being bliss.

This is the internet, my hostility is absolutely necessary. Fuck off.
