City of Heroes - The Value of PWNage

Coming in at number eighteen is my shortest, but most scathing commercial yet.

For those familiar with MMORPGs, you're probably also familiar with the concept of being plagued by those annoying RMT sites or power levelling services or other such banes of our gaming existence.

I have long since said (and will continue to do so) that such sites are only for the ignorant, lazy, and flat-out losers who are too stupid to REALLY play the game. And then, after getting yet ANOTHER in-game email about their services, I'd finally had enough.

They say that you should always channel your negative emotions into something productive. This video was the result of that frustration. I think it has a certain charm to it.

If you enjoy this video, and you like its message - please spread the word. I am hoping that by publicly mocking the people who use these services (and those who provide them), we might eventually make them go away permanently. However, do not stoop to their methods to spread the word. Post it in your blog - mention it to a friend - but do not spam others. Please.

Like my other videos, this one is tagged as Samuraiko Productions, for those who follow my work. Enjoy!

EPIC !!

can't understand why anyone would WANT to PL you just get there and nothing to do (also having to tell a lever 50 'howling twilight' is ALSO a debuff not just a rez is anoying)

[samuraiko]

This little commercial still makes me cheer. :)

So true; lazy people getting PL only to become lvl50 noobs that :

1) Don't know how to play in a team.

2) Didn't learned how to play their character and use their powers the smart way.

3) Are completely ignorant about the zone, the events, the trials, etc...in a word : The whole world of City of Heroes/villains.

PL is just a a method to have newbies playing high lvl but still, they are newbies, they never experienced the game and learn anything and are useless ignorant newbies.

I have two accounts and one I use for my players that I actually play, the other is inactive, however occasionaly it is hard to find the influence to make my builds better, I work in rl and have a gf with needs so its not easy, I sometimes not always pay for my influence, but nothing beats the joy of gettin a toon from one to fifty by urself, and remember the journeys more impportant than the end or the start, my best toons or leveled properly ;-)

Just a few words i got to say.......BRING IT ON! *flips out two blades from my wrists*

I know I'm late on the comment boat, but that pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole matter.
