Maybe if ya'll would stop spending real money on gear, or buying stuff from dupers. "Not knowing" isn't a valid excuse anymore. It's pretty clear which gear is not legit, and if you choose to risk it, then that's on you =o And anyone spending real $$$ on gear, well, that's against the ToS, so if you didn't hack, and got banned, maybe you weren't as sly as you thought you were? ~Scroll your own~
The entitlement in this thread is just pathetic IMO. In case anyone has not played in the past, let me enlighten you. It used to take 4 hours, JUST TO GET TO LEVEL 10. Getting to level 70~100 took about as long as it takes to get to 230~240 now. I don't get it. Having a main is supposed to take awhile. Sure, people have level 250 characters, but it still took awhile. There is a reason link skills max out around lvl 210, it's supposed to be fun to get to the 200's (and it's not supposed to take forever) but it allows you to take a break from your main, while still being able to make it stronger. There is 0 problem with progression as it is. If you want to hit 250, THEN MAKE IT A GOAL. Don't whine and cry about how bored you are, or how it's not fair that you don't have the diligence required to climb that mountain.
