I'm always amused when these kinds of threads get on my news feed. I'll take the few minutes to read and I felt I have to respond when newer players accuse the former players of not being able to hack it.
Regardless of gear, OPness, blah blah blah, the new players shouldn't act like the "quitters" didn't once enjoyed this game as they currently are and didn't have fun dissecting the pvp aspect of the game......as deep as it can get without the solution to a pvp tactic being "gotta gear up" because hey, this is a pay-to-win game. So anyways, players like Apcorphics, have fun with the current the game as the former players had in our day. Don't act like our technique to winning pvp in the grand old days was to face roll on our keyboards........okay some of the older players with the able gear did *coughrebellioncough*
Now that I see this is pretty much the last server alive, I always wanted to play against the people under da SEA(region). Who knows, maybe I'll come back, take a few minutes to learn what's different, and beat a couple of you newer players in two player fisticuffs
