    Were you in west dis and lagging? If so then almost everyone will show up as a Blademaster.

    Screenshot or it didn't happen. Sorry, but we need actual proof of this that:

    1: this is a Blademaster and not another class and
    2: you are not confusing any items for something else.

    So yeah, screenshot it and let us see, otherwise there's nothing to keep anyone from telling you that you are lying or confused.

    Look closely at that pic again, and look at the were there catshop is set up. You can see their faction, but there name underneath isn't showing... Thus when you clicked on them it probably showed up something like (P-followedbyrandomnumbers) and when you player infoed them it'll show them up as a Blademaster even though they are really a cleric. So this is all a result of lag.... well its probably not lag on your end, but maybe on pwi's end. I guess the best way the explain it is the game loads up graphics before it loads up players, and where there's a lot of players, sometimes the system might forget to put labels on the players, which results in seeing nameless blademasters or players named P-followedbyrandomnumbers.

    No, it's not, but I understand exactly why you thought it was. You are in west Archosaur.

    If you close down your PWI client and open it back up and log back in, you can click on just about anyone in the immediate vicinity and it will say they are a Blademaster. This is because the default class is a Blademaster, so when you log into an area where there are a ton of other players, their character information will not load right away. Because it needs to call them something, it will refer to them as a Blademaster. Another example of this is when you log into West Archosaur, you will notice a lot of people, especially cat shops, will have a strange name such as P-158349856. Again, your client hasn't loaded this characters information and it has to assign something to them. So, it assigns the defaults, their character number and the Blademaster class default.

    Trying making a BH squad right when you log in at West Archosaur, you'll notice that sometimes a player will show up as a Blademaster in the list, but you'll see they clearly are not with a MP pool more than three times their own HP or more.

    This is a client-server bug. Sometimes you will notice the game says people are Blademasters that aren't, and as mentioned will show up as P-239482 or something similar, which happens often in Archosaur, especially west Archosaur. If you see them using elven wings and cleric rank gear, guaranteed, it's a fricken cleric.

    The way people encourage this game to be exploited especially on HT... I wouldnt doubt you actually saw it. I keep seeing more and more people pushing websites in game too... when will the gold scammers break thru? I keep waiting to see a 1 800 buy gold cat shop.

    Let's not cast aspersions on the character of players on specific servers.
