Its time for the quick fire round as I really dont have time for this anymore

Who said your younger brother was going to lose? He may be completely capable for taking care of himself. You talk like its a foregone conclusion, and if he always has you around hes never going to know where he stands - maybe one day, when your not there, he'll get his butt kicked and wonder why. Dont assume your low level guildies arent capable of taking care of themselves - thats just insulting to them.

Don't come in here trying to lay claim to some kind of moral high ground by turning weakness into a virtue, when all you're really doing is trying to advocate for yourself. You don't care about the level 60 players in my org, or in any other org, but yourself and the ones in your own. And the only reason you're espousing what you are, is because you don't have any high level people who'd be there to help you.
If I had high level players (or low levels for that matter) I wouldnt expect them to help me (being in a lower bracket) nor would I expect to help those in a lower bracket than me. Probably because I appreciate that that would be _unfair and unbalancing_

You, sir, are a hypocrite. If an uberguild came and knocked down my base this very night - and they very well could - the one thing you won't find me doing is saying that uberguilds should be nerfed. I won't be here now saying I should be protected from the uberguilds - though by your logic, I should be. But guess what? Instead of coming here and whining, I accepted that the stronger would be stronger and that I'd be at a disadvantage when I paid my $20. I knew beforehand that there would be stronger people able to stomp me when I bought it. And so did you. You knew what AO was like before you bought the booster pack.
AO - yes, PvP - no and thats kind of my point. People got the booster who wouldnt normally PvP, while you guys who have always PvP'ed may accept outside buffing as par for the course that doesnt make it right or fair (how many times have we seen threads asking for outside buffs to be cancelled in the arena?)

As for Typothetae, you - and others - are the ones who started plastering me with labels and insults, and speaking down like you were on some kind of pedestal. Some of the first things you - and the other people trying to convince the world that they're the most deserving - posted on here were laying in to me, not the proposed system and not offering alternatives. This is not certain to be changed, in fact, given almost all the proposals I've seen so far, I hope it isn't. What we have right now is better than almost all the ideas I've seen so far - and it's certainly better than Funcom's original idea.
Dont know if the above included me but, I havent seen any attacks on you (but then I'm skimming the threads that dont concern the core issue since the rest are redundant until the baseline is established) I think you're over-reacting and maybe you should take a breath and read them again to see if you interperated them incorrectly (hard to guage tone and delivery with text)

Hypos has a good idea, though it's horribly complicated. I still like the buff-level idea, but I'm still wary of Funcom's ability to balance it.
The more complicated it is the more likely an exploit exists which wont be found. Also FC's ability to impliment does need to be considered as does timescale - this was needed before the product went live so something thats going to take 3 months isnt very helpful (see we agree on something - not that I'm endorsing Hypos proposal since I havent looked at it (sorry) as getting the baseline established is more important)

And if you don't already know how much easier and more fun it is to attack than to defend a base, then I question your ability to speak with authority on any tower-battle related issues. As it is right now, thanks to the pvp level limits we already have and the crowd control testing, there is no way to defend bases against even half-witted attackers. Attackers can exploit the level limits by using alts too low to be attacked, to exploit the crowd control system to keep warping real defenders away.
Well let me know who you're attacking since it sounds much more fun that the ones I've been involved in. Those that werent 'lag fests' were excersizes in seeing how far down the targets hitpoints went before someone outside the level range healed them.
