    What is the point of this beyond a strange rant? What you talk about is the epitome of the internet, and I don't see you giving your real name out so people know who you are -- otherwise you're sitting behind a monitor and posting anonymously complaining about anonymous posters yourself. It may not be evident to you, but to me this is deliciously ironic, and why I can't take your post seriously.

    Or just that it's on default. Honestly if you get angry over a picture then you need medical treatment. Let them use whatever. Everyone just pick-picks over everything. Whatever the reason let it be their problem not your's.

    Plus, everything is an alt. I doubt that any person only has one character on their account.

    I'm not going to bother switching my avatar to sit whatever discussion I join, so I've simply stuck to using this one.

    Besides, a large majority of us have come to realize that avatar level is no longer very meaningful. Would anyone in the Wizard forum take skill advice from... say... Specialmats? No? Why not; he does have a level 100 avatar!

    Ya, level doesn't matter and such. I don't even know if this was a fake topic or not. It honestly doesn't matter to me, you're still "hiding" behind something. That unless all those who use their mains can really have courage and give their real name, pic, and address lol. This is a topic that really shouldn't be a discussion.

    I request thread close plox

    I guess one of the reasons I don't like it is when people offer advice ... but when they are posting on some alt, the lowbie really has no way of knowing who is more credible and may get the wrong idea.

    This is a valid point, but to a large degree it's still up to the reader to read critically and use common sense about whether the poster knows what he or she is talking about. And similarly, if someone isn't posting on their main, it's up to them to establish their credentials if they want to be taken seriously.

    Two of the best posters on the venomancer forum are Solandri (level 40 barbarian avatar) and tweakz (question mark avatar). I respect their posts because I've read enough to establish that they both have high level venomancers and know what they're talking about. And by contrast, I've read plenty of posts by 9x and 10x venomancers that are utter nonsense.

    The one thing I would disagree with in your post is the claim that the lowbie has no way of knowing who is more credible. First, if the person is posting on an alt, they're clearly less credible, at least until they prove otherwise. That's their (my) fault and their choice. Second, if you think the person is wrong, nothing is preventing you from saying so on your level 98 wizard and using that obvious experience to back up your claims.

    its called /b/ syndrome. these kids think 'anon' is so cool, that they have to be one. its supposed to be an anti conformist thing to stand up against those that'd censor our rights to freedom of expression, but these same ideals lead everyone to meld into a single cohesive conformist group.

    'we have to spam internet jargon and repeat overly used cliche memes to feel cool!'

    they take off their masks and show what humanity is for itself, garbage. they can hide behind their little facades and display little nuances of ****. they vehemently go out of their way to try and evoke feelings of self worthlessness, hate, anger frustration etc. it truly is a sad sight to behold how they are what they fight against.

    they are legion, they do not forgive, they do not forget, or so they say.

    Well, whatever.

    But if you guys hide behind an alt and pretend to be level 90+ and throw out nonsense advice acting like you're pro.... I will completely disregard you. And so will most people. That's all.

    I guess I do post with an alt now, but that was never my intention... I only have 2 characters in PWI.. this and my barb... only reason this is an alt now is because I find playing my barb more fun and he has taken over as my main... but... just because I don't switch over my avatar to post with, does that make what I have to say any less relevant? b:shocked

    meh just dont mind paranoic people. I wonder if they think that someone will hunt them throughout the huge world of PW just because they posted something someone doesnt like? go take your paranoia pill, paranoidb:bye


    and if its because they want to post something bad about PWI itself but dont want their main to be banned or sth, there is something called IP. FEAR IT AND WORSHIP IT!

    Especially the ones who back up their flaming by talking like they know everything about the game, or claiming to have "a level 103 barb" or w/e.

    If you're a faceless alt you're a nobody until you prove otherwise and that's that.

    I dunno what a circumventing is...
    Im just saying you cant think that all alts are just here to troll from anonymous accounts. Thats just not all of it.

    sometimes we say stupid things and think we are sticking up for some people.
