[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7892411, member: 177"] With [I]respect[/I]... please allow room for other people to find interest and wisdom in things that you didn't intend. And don't get insulting about it, please. This does not address the issue that started the tangent - when the mechanics do not support the in-game-world perception. I agree that you used entirely the wrong language - because the question of what qualifies as "competent" is nowhere near the question of what qualifies as "world's best." It is very easy to be seen as "competent" in the world - you go out, you kill some monsters that would make a common man shudder, and come back alive, and you are competent. And if that's all you were talking about, that's fine. We are in basic agreement on that. So, people on the internet actually listened to you. They took you at your word. They specifically didn't restate your position in words you didn't use to change it... ...and you're not happy with that? :p [/QUOTE]
