I'm lumping these together because I'm directly involved with both.
I watched Gre, a lot. I enjoyed every chance I had to see him fight. You earned that title and made every fight worthwhile for someone who is sitting upstairs a little bored.
You happen to be one of the individuals who give Battle the 'overpowered' status that players often give it. It's your ability to adapt to a situation and turn it to your advantage, given your race, specs and wisdom as a veteran player that makes you such a dangerous opponent to face.
Should we downgrade abilities and cabals according to those few successful individuals like yourself? I say no. I believe every player has the potential to learn how to effectively fight great opponents. It's one of the very great competitive aspects of this game that I happen to love.
I do challenge each player who claims battle to be overpowered to attempt to fight characters of Gre's calibre. From those encounters I'm quite positive that they can learn from their mistakes as well as from yours.
As for the legacy quest. I hold them every so often. Usually when I see great warriors who have the potential to show off their abilities. The one that involved the Underdark was probably one of the best I've held. There were at least 4 very strong opponents in the whole competition. Once more you chose correct timing and battle strategies that allowed you to win that competition. Great history of characters and this just puts one more to add to the list.
