the main thing that kyo is trying to point out is that he had a lot of advantages. jMS is without a doubt the easiest version of MS besides private servers. I got to 70 in three weeks there, and if that sounds like a normal number, then how about this one? 110-120 in one day in a party without any ultimates. the exp bonus makes an extreme difference once you get to higher leveled training, and the availability of 2x cards & leeching (if even for just 10 levels, the most difficult 10 levels at that) makes the game a LOT easier.
as for the whole "if you had the opportunity to leech from a bishop, would you do it?" question, I know it wasn't directed at me but I'll answer it from my point of view anyway. I've had free bishop leeching offered to me in the past and you can easily buy leeching services on kMS for fair prices, but I choose not to do it. I'd rather spend time playing my character and enjoying the game instead of going AFK while someone else levels me. that's just boring and defeats the purpose of the game, in my opinion.
also, the whole "first" business, I pointed out my opinion once already on aijms I think. I don't understand why it matters so much if you're first at everything. maybe it's just a pet-peeve of mine, but whenever someone says it, it always comes off as arrogance to me.
with that being said, I still do congratulate you on getting to 120 & viper, and I do look forward to seeing the contributions you'll make to the community in the future.
Heya rehash!
I definitely agree that it's the easiest considering realistically, it would have taken us all twice(and change) the time to have gotten to the level we're all at now if we were in say, KMS or GMS before the 2x. And about the leeching, I don't mean rope leeching, I just consider fighting alongside someone with genesis still as leeching(since genesis does a crapload of work). From what I saw, he was fighting alongside Tomo from 110-117, I *think* 118 may have been rope leeched with 119 definitely being it(i was training with Tomo, Justin on rope overnight).When I train with Tomo on Shaddap, he does the top half of the skelegon map while I do the bottom half. I still feel like it's leeching in a way, since he kills so much, so fast, despite me doing my part in keeping the spawn flowing. He knows that Justin and I don't like to just sit there while he does all the work and honestly, Tomo doesn't like it much himself when people just sit around, he'll go to town or take a break if he sees that.
And the whole "i'm first" kinda thing...some people play for the social factor, some play for ranks, and some play casually for the mix of both. He does take pride in his ranking and worked to maintain himself in the top 100, server-wide. I definitely agree that this is an attention-seeking topic(obviously), but who wouldn't be happy about being able to hold that title? I have no idea if you made any posts when you hit 70 in any of these boards, but I know you had to be even a little proud of yourself and/or accomplished when it happened.
EDIT: And @ DarthIsis1, nice try pretending to act "humble." heh "I could've posted blah blah blah" You didn't mention that bw pally crap once, but twice in the same topic. It makes you come off like "NO MOMMY, LOOK AT ME!!!!" And for your information, he's in the top 100 ranks of JMS, go look it up before making dumb assumptions.
