FangBlade No Longer Number 1

Maybe because he did it when it wasn't humourously easy?

Fangblade was around 198 when 4th job came out.

I am pretty sure he wasn't that close to 200 when 4th job came out. I remember NinjaGaru was the highest lvl in Scania when 4th job hit, and he was only 121, At best FangBlade must have been 140.

I'm gonna get pomagrenated so hard for this but oh well.
Why do people care about this?
I know it's a big achievement, not denying that, but why all the praise and sadness over this?
I don't get it. I think you people care more about his #1 spot than he does.

Isn't it an assumption to say we care more about it than he does? For all we know, he could be at his house hitting his head to a wall saying "damn it nexon". Regardless, it might be true we care more, but that doesn't disregard it as a valid concern. We are not talking about just anyone's achievement of getting to lvl 200, we are talking about the first person to reach it in the whole continent of America (or a server for the whole America), all the more in a time it was much harder than now It should be prized or at least recognized, thats what rankings did and that should've been kept like that. What this validates is that Nexon has the power to just throw to the garbage everything we work for in this game any day they want and that's in no way reassuring to us players.
