3) Quality, not quantity. He likes being...up close and personal...

4) All the guys want to be him and all the women just want him...not much of a fail there. Notice though how Molotov was in The Rusty's subconscious?

5) Business in the front, party in the back. Aw ya...

Take the 3D glasses out of the equation, it'd probably still beat RED. And really, I have no idea why.

It's like seeing a reality TV show being the #1 show. I just don't see the appeal.

Personally even if it were 2 cents for 2 billion inf I would never take either of those risks. Besides the game works fine, even well, with just SOs. I've only gone nuts on two builds (spent around 3 billion plus my own drops over about a year) and while both of those characters are better than they were with SOs and common IOs they aren't enough better to justify buying inf to me.

As for

and


I would recommend do just play. Don't bother with the markets unless it is something you want to do. I hate stopping to go to the markets to buy and sell and often don't upgrade my characters as I am playing until I feel like going shopping.

The only characters people ought to spend time shopping for are PvP characters or ones you plan to play at 50 and beyond. Otherwise it should only be done as an diversion/amusement.

I, for example, have dozens of well-built PvP characters across multiple servers and I've never even thought about resorting to RMT to fund even the most expensive of those builds.

I don't see anyone using RMTers except the stupid or lazy people, honestly.

I agree that PvPers are probably the most likely to have the right motives for RMT to make sense, but I'm not sure that many actually use them.

None of the PvPers I know are particularly hurting for money. Most of them are the most capable players I know of for wringing the absolute most reward for least play time from the game, be that via market use, farming, or outright exploits. A few of them could probably lap my net worth 10x over, and I could fork out for several PvP +3% defs this very moment if I really wanted them. When you also consider that most of the ones I know will strip down older characters for IOs to use on new ones, they don't usually need that much wealth, even if you consider that they might have to buy respecs. (But don't forget that vets get all their vet respecs on new characters.)

As for PvErs, I find that people who actually fork out the cash to make "uber builds" while not knowing how to or being willing to milk the game for the money that it pours from its virtual heavens tend, well, not to be the brightest bulbs in the chandelier. It's either that or they are just immensely impatient, and when one is that impatient in PvE in a game like this, I'm back to feeling they're dumb.

Well I finally rolled one up not based on something I read of the forums, saw someone do something really awesome ingame, or been told to roll by others. I created this toon because it fits a character idea I love! I rolled up a Ninja Blade/Super Reflexes Khajiit Warrior. When I played through Morrowind, this was my favorite race to play. With inherent invisibility and its natural grace, it made the perfect concept for a stalker.

Now, what I want from you all. I have not been able to find much of anything written on the power combo. Have I gotten into a toon that will please my min/maxer side while deeply satisfying my desire to have a toon I connect with? What have you been able to do with this power combo?

Personally, I eavesdrop on RF2009, Freedom TF Chat, Freedom Badge and a few other private channels.

Be interesting to see what at age 1000 or more you'd remember of the pre 100 years.
