If the puppet master isn't letting Coco and Dusty pull their own strings, there's nothing they can do. I think players believe you lack interest in the "competitive" aspect because: you aren't involved in it, you believe players are a-holes when participating in events under a specific circumstance, and probably other reasons. Thallen will probably list the specifics.
@4-Lom, quit trying to instigate and accept the fact the game has been on a downfall in gameplay. This new guild system is getting the iDelteria treatment (gets announced but never going to release). You aren't complaining because you're into bug catching, looting, and being a fashionista. They are because they are into towering, sparring, and killing. Which has died down over the last several months. If you wish to re-read my post about ideas I have, go back a few pages. Bryan out.
