Riding Maps removed! Mount Speed Increase Upgrade 2???

*eye roll* It's possible they added the requirement at a later date, you know a patch?

Then the answer would be that they changed that in a patch. But no one said that. Whether or not that was the case.

The fact i brought up the sub time is its unreal to me (and obviously other people too) that if you played this game for so long (4 years or more if you were around beta) and havn't even cleared base msq (meaning up to 2.1)?

It being real or unreal is not relevant though. That's my point. Whether or not that is true simply have zero effect on the content of what the main post is about. It's like this. If a person asks you what hour is it, do you answer them by saying that there's a pharmacy behind them and then move on?! No. This is exactly what you did. And you even implied to connect that "pharmacy" answer with the "time" question, as if they were in any way related.

Then I think it's a valid question what you been up to during this time.

It may be a valid question...for a topic that is related to "time". This is not. It's just not relevant.

Lol, im leaning more towards what someone already said. OP smells like a troll poster

Maybe. But if that's the case...then there would be even less of a point in your writing what you did. The original poster got an answer that may solve his problem. There was another person in this thread claiming the same, that may end up having their problem solved in just the same way. Nothing else matters. This may be a general discussion forum, but threads are started for specific reasons. They are not for general discussion about random stuff you can think of, or to satisfy your curiosity. If you want such a thread...go ahead and make one. Heck, make one, with a link to this, discussing whether this thread is a troll thread or not, or a more general thread about people that claim to have played for a long time, while their progress is slow, and whether it's reasonable or what can be the reason for that.

And on that note, this entire discussion is off on those grounds...so this'll be the last post from me on the matter.

I'm not vilifying him, but I'd rather you didn't vilify me for his own errors.

I don't vilify anyone. I just said that bringing into question his claim of being a player from beta is not relevant for the discussion, and that you, while defending the poster that brought up his game time, implied that he's to blame for something. "(...)who else is to blame for him not playing the MSQ in those four years and then complaining on the OF?". The bolded part clearly states that there is someone to blame. If there was an option of there being no one to blame assumed there, then the word blame wouldn't even have been used, let alone in that context. Using the word "responsible" would be far more suitable, saying that the responsibility for him not having access to the maps is on him.

However, "blame" is one of the words that are extremely overused. It have negative connotations to it, while people use it willy nilly, completely ignoring that fact. It's just how language is, and can't really be helped though, so there's no reason to vilify anyone in particular for that...except some language teachers, that is.
