It was easier to earn a name for oneself when cf was more unbalanced, true. But this doesn't change the fact that everyone had the same chances. Some people make a name for themselves, and some people don't. Achieving greatness is often a combination of correct timing, luck and skill. We are not speaking of the skill of a player, but instead comparing anti-paladins to eachother. Whether the player of Palan can PK his way out of a paper bag these days doesn't count. There have been great APs after him, possibly some played more skillfully. But none have achieved the same immortality. I agree with Nepenthe here, Nabburak would've had a chance to get up there, but he had some bad luck and #### didn't go too well.
