In all honesty, it kind of makes me sad that so many people are going "ZOMG ARCHURS R DA BEST" and becomes one.
Just today, I helped a Bishop kill the Headless Horseman, and she thanks me and says "It's rare to see a Bowmaster like you. Most of them try to KS instead of help." I remember a couple years ago when I started this game - I barely saw any bowmen. Throughout my entire Maple life as a bowman, I was told that bowmen suck and their damage sucks and they train slow and blah blah. Now, with the rise of 4th jobs, everyone wants to turn to become a bowman. So, I guess, it has affected me. It's made me a little angry that our class isn't as 'special' anymore.
Also, like everyone else has said - 8 to 10 million meso 30% bow scrolls? No thanks. 150million meso Sharp Eyes? No thanks.
Also, I think I should quote Felix.
I still have bowman pride. I could never love, or be, another class as passionately as a bowman. I guess what I was trying to say above, was that I really hate how people have always talked down to bowmen. No one wanted to be one. Everyone wanted to be an assassin. Now that 4th job is here... those same hypocritcal people become the thing they have been bashing on for years.

FelixTM Wrote:Yeah, I can remember when things used to be great. It was so rare to see a bowman and a lot of pride came with being one. Scrolls and bows were awesomely priced. But even now, with all the idiots playing bowman and our horribly overpriced items, I still enjoy being a bowman just as much as I did back then. Why? Because I haven't let all the stupidity affect me. I just do what I can to get by, and it works for me. *shrugs*
