The people who were talking trash about Rahshael were/are serial whiners. We all know these people exist, right? The people who are simply never going to be satisfied. The kind of player who gets owned by something (STSF, bat-spec paladin, low-level transmuter/Necro) and calls it OP immediatly...

These people will always exist, because there is always a very loud MINORITY of our game who wants the game to be easy-mode. Because they aren't good enough to hack it, they cling to conspiracy and non-sense to make sense of why they suck, or simply can't handle/do something.

So, I am glad that you and another have taken the time to say thank you to Rahshael, because he deserves it, and has made WONDERFUL contributions to this game.

But part of the responsibility is on us to RECOGNIZE that these whiners are a very loud MINORITY and the vast MAJORITY of the game is just enjoying themselves and not talking at all. I honestly think that's what drove Ignolmeer away. Letting the peanut gallery get to him. It sucks because he was awesome...
