Healer;
I am sorry, but I do not see ( after reading his post AGAIN ) where he is anything but arrogant. What most people here are saying is that you should play it the way you want to play it, but he is saying that , no, his is the only way as it is the only way to be "social". His second post says that people are thinking incorrectly,even while trying to say "play it your way," although he says that that is the wrong way to play.And that is crap.
My 57 cleric finds more groups than my gimp 66 cleric ( although that HOT is sweet)( mostly for 2 boxing
) and AA's do matter, and they do make you a more effective player than someone without them. My experience has been that people just dont get passed over (except for high level raiding), and most of the time all my charecters ( as low as level 12 ) find groups and fun. But if you want to get to 75 and not have any AA's, and are having fun and finding groups ( or soloing, if that is what you like ) than that is great.
I am not trying to flame you, I just dont see where his post has any merit beyond the arrogance.
