As for comments on his playstyle, I will add my 2 cents :
Burglars make very little renown if they stay next to the zerg. So they are almost always forced to move away from it. On a low pop server like Windfola that means there are two options - camp the rez or try places like HH and slugs. So in my opinion, his playstyle is heavily influenced by the class he plays and the server he is playing on.
As someone that used to spend a fair amount of time running around the map looking for solo creeps, I can tell you that unless you have the ability to track, you just wont find many to kill. Eventually you will end up either coming back to the zerg, or to the rez or to HH or slugs. On Windfola those are the only places you will find anything to kill.
As for comparing him to the burglars that have played on Windfola before, I think it is an apples to oranges comparison because the class and game mechanics have undergone significant changes. Burgs used to be a near god mode class. They are still a very good class, however they aren't unbeatable anymore.
Personally I don't know Madik. From the very few interactions I have had with him, he came across as someone that is quite reasonable and pleasant. To me that is what matters more than how quickly someone can turn their mouse or how great they are at killing creeps/freeps.
While realistically I couldn't give a ####, there's still part of me that plays somewhat competitively(Despite it dying quite a long time ago) , when I do which is why I'm even posting here at all.
It's an arbitrary ranking system that rewards many other things before it rewards skill. Being competitive over an arbitrary system like this doesn't really seem that fun and competitive in the first place. Not that I've ever farmed, but I got over caring whether or not someone farms a long time ago. If they still destroy everything in sight with godly skill, then it doesn't really matter in the end.

Pretty much this.
With the store-bought skills/brands in RoI and the nature of ranking in the game (non-competitive due to set ranking points irrespective of others' progress, ridiculous imbalance and the ability to easymode 24/7 in open world PvP) rank really doesn't mean anything other than time put into the Moors (aka experience).
The days I got the most renown I spent upwards of 17 hours a day in the moors.
If you do think that is impossible then I guess you suck at getting renown.

Do I hate stealth classes? A resounding yes. Do I intensely dislike Dirv's particular brand of easymoding? More hell yesses are in order. Do I, however, think he pulled a Farmpaws/Wahime/Revolting/<insert known farmers" name here>? Sorry, but no.
I missed this part of the thread completely.
In no way am I trying to discredit your rank Dirvard, I just struggled to see past how that is somewhat normally possible, and was presenting my thought. It wasn't anything of a "You rank farmer! It's impossible to earn that much renown legit!" but more of a "I can't figure out how this is normally possible." and presenting the opinion in that format.
After re-reading through this and picking up on the 17 hours thing, it is safe to say that it exceeds the normal circumstances, validating what I said as conjectural.
I will say however, you should (Perhaps need to ) get more sleep!
come play some d3. make sure to bring your big girl pants. yes, that has two meanings <3
