Interesting reading, as expected, if there was reaction, it would be looking down on me and from the mindset of superior knowledge / character / …
No reason to defend me at all, why would I.
It is also interesting that that little thing was “forgotten” or avoided in the replies, as if aimlessly pointless attacks on relative new players is a perfectly acceptable thing to do.
I repeat that interesting piece once more:
Try to imagine if all those small pirate gangs would join and start an “empire” on their own. It would make all that “talent” to have a goal in the game.
