:lol:

also, unbanned with delay, because, as ptx said:
It was well written, I don't mind the passive-aggressiveness, but stick to the goddamn topic.

And all the haters were stricken down, whilst weeping tears of grief, mighty enough to conjure up lakes of pure woe.

Hey, he may have missed the topic but he made some damn good points and overall, i love this kid. ME and Balton; we have connected yo. All you haters gonna hate all you noobs gonna get mad but at the ens of the day, y'all fools be spoutin off like you know about him. Give it a rest and let the pros be pros yall

Clearly my talent is well recognized.

trolololololol mike

For someone who has English as a second language, this was pretty well written. Well done!

Thanks :-)

Your jealousy knows no bounds.

Make him gen 1 and move on.

Coming from the highest gen in the game, continue retiring everyday you no-life nerd.

Anybody else think we should start a poll to force Balton to change his name to Balton the Malevolent?

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=malevolent

Something about

seems neither benevolent nor demonstrative of a willingness to adhere to the rules of grade school reading comprehension.

My opinion of this essay is that it is stupid.  In the previous incantation of cRPG the difference between a new player and a no lifer veteran, was absolutely astronomical.  A level 47 can absolutely own someone lower level than them far more often than not.  A lot of people were considered very skilled players mainly because their levels were so high.  The newest cRPG patch equalized the game quite a bit.  The difference between a level 32 or even 33 with full heirlooms and a level 30 is not even close to the difference between a level 31 player and a level 45 player. 

Also, the ladder system would be fun.  But what we really need is strategus back!  That is the place for people to go when they really want more out of this game than simple cRPG matches.
