I understood your analogies rather well... And I recognize that as arguments go, they are smoke and mirrors. All bluster. Blanket statements that sound good but really have no merit.

"Everything is gonna change regardless, so stiff upper lip, bucko!" That argument could be used to argue any point of view on any subject. Its basically argumenting for nihilism. "We're all going to die so nothing we do contains meaning."

But then you tarted the statement up by saying that it's not the quantitative achievement that matters it's the experience you go through to achieve something. Essentially your point was that the gear is a token of the experience it took to get it, so when they raise the level cap though the gear may not be useful anymore you still had the joy of the experience.

Again, that can be used to argue both perspectives.

THEN you go on to comment that with a static level cap nothing truly replaces anything else all the items end up averaging out to the same meta-item so it doesn't matter which item you have, the new or the old, making all the new content in theory useless...

except that theory flies directly in the face of your previous argument about the items being secondary to the experience.

My point was that your opinion is your own, and you are welcome to it. But don't try to argue for it if the best you can do are specious arguments that you yourself are contradicting.
Okay Rhodes Scholar we're not analyzing each other in an attempt to sound more intellectual you have a ways to go if you're gonna try that one on me. That wasn't what I meant, nor did I call you dumb. Nor did anything you just say in that post have anything to do with anything I was talking about. Nor do I favour nihilism.

Stay on topic if you have a point to make and don't be a tit.
