idk, it just seems like you guys have personal problems with Molly/Abaddon. It really looks like a lot of you are going out of your way to try to pick apart anything said and trying to flip it around. You quoted me saying I haven't seen Abaddon do it, then you quoted Molly where he says "bring a THM, healers, and some Archers and your set". As if that proves your point. I do not see where he is saying that is the absolute only way to do it. he just prefers to do it that way. But you are trying to make it sound like he means otherwise. Just because he does it that way doesn't mean others have to do it as well.

I just don't get it, there is now a problem with people who get Emulate and use it/sub it? Why is the skill even in the game if no one is allowed to use it? Why wouldn't people use it? Why would anyone want to make things harder on themselves by not using it? Of course things can be tanked just fine without it, but its a lot less stressful with it. I mean really? saying its the lazy way and its not getting our skills up? You really wanna hate Abaddon and its members that bad? Don't tell me you have no one in your LS who has or uses Emulate. Its a good tanking tool on some NMs and any GLA should be wanting to have it. Do you guys try to tank everything with a R15LNC just to make it harder and improve your skills? It just doesn't make sense.

you proved my point that you(and others) are just trying to over analyze anything said and twist around anything said just because you want to hate. I said people want to do things the smart and easy way because every player in the game wants to get gear. Then you jump on me as if I'm dumb because that gear isn't even great..... I never said it was, never even came close to saying something like that in fact. But there you are making it out as if I did say that just to try to make myself or the LS look bad. Myself, along with everyone else is totally aware that 90% of the NM drops is for the most part, outclassed slightly by normal gear in the wards. But without it, what the heck are our goals suppose to be in the game? The NM drops are a little more challenging to get, so of course I would like to get them even if just for the feeling of accomplishment. If we are so dumb because we want to kill NM for gear that isn't that great, then what is your LS doing killing these NMs? What is any LS doing killing these NM?

Not every LS has to do things the same way or have the same strategies. It just boggles my mind that it would make some people mad that someone does it differently then themselves. Maybe I am too old, or maybe I don't visit enough video game forums to be use to the silly antics that goes on. I just don't understand why anyone would want to try so hard to try to rip people apart for the tiniest of things said.

I normally don't get involved in these things and I am half way retarded for doing so, it just bothered me a bit. Please don't take my post as someone who is trying to start a war with anyone. I have no problems with anyone in the game and respect you all, it's just hard not to respond when people are saying things that are not true.

edit: holy @#$%. Apologies for the long post, it looked so tiny when first typing it

You said what I was thinking but didn't have time to type, thanks Scape.

We all know emulate is overpowered, but the fact remains that it's in the game and is a huge asset to anyone that's taken the time to rank THM to 40. So why not use it?

Aye, Since I've joined I've never witnessed any of the negative things I've read. We do NM runs frequently, out of boredom I suppose, and we've easily won all 30-40 NMs (since I've joined, I'm a little new to the shell).
But maybe that's because I'm SO GREAT AND I'M TANKING!!!! j/k ;p (Have never heard anyone say things like that either!)

What was the infamous red mage's name in FFXi who solo'd several of the NMs? Avesta maybe...? I wonder if anyone told him he shouldn't try soloing all the NMs on his rdm, because one day they will gimp his rdm, and he was using the job as a crutch, never learning any real skill to play the game.

The bad things that get said, you'll notice, come from the same 4 or 5 people.

I find NM runs incredibly boring as is >_<

Everything's been said and re-said at this point. I'd encourage Ennvy to close the topic. We can probably all agree that we would like to see an end to the emulate+archer+claimbug cheese era and it will hopefully come with the instanced dungeons and battle system changes.
