If that were true, many people, especially wargs and burgs would still be r0.
I give you my congratulations because instead of killing my duo of r0 toons as we were beating on Rocky, you helped and didn't even bother to kill us afterward. Not many people would do that and we thank you.
This is truly well -deserved.You have come a long way in playstyle and ability since we first met way back when.I've much enjoyed watching you grow as a player.From always in raid to duoing with Bigears,small grouping with kin,and a whole lot of soloing.
As someone who makes a special point to heal Proton I can tell you,your ideas of him being a runner aren't true or outdated.
Most the time I see Proton he is in fact sprinting past but is almost always at 800 morale or less from running into the creeps to get a kill or running through a keep to get a kill.
Regardless of any trolling that happens here.You are a great PvP and PvE guard Proton.And not to mention a fantastic person who is always willing to help people in PvE-land,and you've always taken a special interest into thank healers for heals and rezzes,saving them when you can,and having a shield-wall handy for them.
Guess this means you can pack up your tent stop living in the moors and come PvE with us
Gratz Proton! I remember when you were level 58 or something and some warg was picking on you and I kept you alive cause I felt bad for you....now look at you!

Grats Proton. You worked hard to get r12 and you very much deserve it. I've seen you survive some crazy sh*t and it makes me jealous cuz my squishy RK can't survive when the wind blows too hard. Hope you stick around to r13 man.

Ive known you since we were both greenies way back when....had our ups and downs, now we seem to simply tolerate each other, emote at our differences, and jump like fools instead of beat the snot out of each other and troll.
I will say that you were one of the first to acknowledge your propensity to sprint away....and no one is saying that it is wrong what you do. The fact of the matter is, you do. You sprint away. And you do it with pinache and style that makes fake boom's bubble spam sprint look like dracko running thru webbing with a hinder and slow on him. Its your thing. And its silly to hear people say that you dont sprint. We both have spent the same amount of time in the moors of Ridder for over a year now....mainly all day and night, every day and night, so I say that with credibility. Besides, makes catching you if we can, and killing you, if we can, all the sweeter! (when it actually happens)
Meh. Who cares, if your gonna do it.....do it well.
But for real, rank 12 is a milestone. Enjoy it. Shame my warg xferred. I think we are 1 for 1 in 1v1s on him. Seems I recall that last fight was us slowing and durationing each other to death good times
Gratz Proton, fun guy to 1v1 =). Regardless of your...reputation I always know when I jump you solo I won't have to chase you into friends or npcs (Good thing too since you're a pretty tough cookie by yourself =D)
Congrats Proton, beast of a guard, 1 of only 2 on this server i don't want to 1v1 (but i still will any time you are interested haha).
Kazak
lol whos the other one?
Anyways, gratz proton, no matter what other people say about ur speedy bootz ur a great guard and hitting r12 is proof enough that you dont always run. Keep going to 12
p.s im glad a guard finally got to r12 on this server
Yay Proton!!! Welcome to the purple horsey club!! You are one of the best guards I've seen. Whenever we duo we can be pretty scary haha! Always fun finding you out there because no one has saved me more with a shield wall than you. I'm looking forward to pushing to rank 13 with you!
Some people are gonna call you speedyboots, but the fact of the matter is that every Guardian runs from battle when the odds are against them. You are very skilled, and one of the best. You definitely deserve grats for this rank, so congrats man.
Gratz man, you really deserve this rank and it makes me happy to see people like you getting such a great recognition in something that is really enjoyed. Since i started pvping, you have been surprising me as I couldn't believe a guard would b so deadly like you, and i know its because you have special skills for this game no matter if you are soloing, raiding or whatever. I congratulate you and you have my respect man, now good luck getting r13, i know you can make it look like ez stuff .
well i've never been big on grats threads. i even told freep ooc a few times that i would be fine without one. nonetheless, one was made, and none of your kind words have gone unnoticed. thanks everybody.
special shout out to those of you who didn't let our somewhat argumentative history stop you from posting positively in this thread. you know who you are. glad we've been able to set our differences aside in the name of having fun. that's what it's all about.
now to address the haters. or in this case, just one. flesh, i think it's about time you stopped living in the past buddy. i'm not the same clueless, red-ranked guard you used to beat up on. far from it...

well, well, well. 3 pages in, and you're 1 of 2 posters who didn't have anything nice to say. i know i have a history of making you eat your words on this forum, but i deserve none of the credit. you make it too easy.
i started playing this game just over a year ago when a friend of mine convinced bigears and i to give it a shot since it was going f2p. it was my first ever MMORPG, and my guard was my first toon. been quite a ride since.
the grind to r12 really burned me out as far as pvp goes. admittedly, the game isn't nearly as fun for me as it used to be. not even close. that's why you guys have seen me running around lately wearing my pumpkin hat, setting off fireworks, playing the lute, and probably doing other stupid stuff. don't mind me, just venting my inner joker and attempting to keep the "fun factor" at a level that makes the game still worth playing.
thanks again everyone, see you on the battlefield.
Grats on achieving that milestone Proton. I know for my part, I think you are a good guard and have my respect. My but comment...is that you could do much better by going down in a blaze of glory instead of running back to the safety of your numbers. Always push to the very back of the creep ball, that's where all the sweet spots are.
You seem content to get a kill in and run back to your ball...that's for champs. You are a friggin tank, keep swingin that blade till creeps run from you or you go down. Have an RK put that instanta rez on you and go to town. Stand your ground and you just might enjoy it besides reaping the renown benefits. Anyway, just my 2 cents, take it or leave it, you pay your sub, play your way

really? i thought we run into the ball to get a kill and then die while trying to get another kill. who'da thunk it.
and grats, proton. i can tell you are not taking it too serious out there sometimes and are just trying to have fun. that's the only thing that matters. i got burned out too shortly after roi and found myself back in the raid/instance world for awhile and only frequenting the moors rarely and not staying long. i have gotten reinvigorated though and enjoy it alot again so it comes in waves. making the creep was prolly the spark but freepside is fun again too. keep having fun and maybe you will enjoy your way to another rank instead of just grinding it.
Getting this far needs lot of dedication, lot of game play. People can agree or disagree with you about the way you play. However, you have contributed lot of your time for moors. For our server. Each and every person contribute their own time and energy to bring in a toon on freepside or creepside adds a vital valuable thing to the game. An ally or an opponent.
People can say good things or bad things, but what matters is that you keep on coming. For that Sir, I salute you. Well done man. Keep it up!
lol... i must have hit a nerve. i do find your lies and other ignorant statements amusing, but it gets old after a while. the validity of your mindless posts continues to plummet when you do things like bring up CM in attempts to imply that i don't 1v1. but hey, i'll stop there... after all, there's never been a need to make fools look foolish, they already do a good enough job of that themselves. (thanks for that one bonnie!) the players have spoken for me, flesh. even your friends. maybe you should reread this thread.
with your constant self-referrals of "alpha" and "a bad mf" you have made it very clear you derive even the smallest portion of your self-esteem and pride from this video game, and for that i am sorry. anyway, here's a little something i pulled from a more recent thread...

think before posting. if your posts do nothing but reflect your sore feelings toward another player, or otherwise bring complete negativity to a thread that lacked it before, maybe you shouldn't be there.
that was my nice way of saying get the hell out of my grats thread. or you can keep posting in it, bringing my recent ranking (which is becoming old news) more publicity, while looking like an idiot in the process. it's a win/win for me.
thanks again guys, and my bad about bumping this thread again.

I don't know what you have against Proton Flesh, but do you really need to bring it up in a Gratz thread?
A Gratz Thread (as indicated by the title) is for congratulating your fellow players for making some achievement or another. If you can even bring yourself to congratulated a fellow player, you shouldn't post at all. You should stay off of the thread.
Imo it is classless to try to ruin/derail someones gratz thread.

Rank threads are akin to birthday parties. They are meant to take the time to congratulate someone for reaching a milestone in life. It's no secret how many feel toward the person this thread is dedicated to. It's no secret how I feel toward that person. I see no honor or bravery in the act of bashing someone on their birthday, though. It's like going to some kid's bday party and hockin a loogie on his cake as he blows the candles out. I see those that crash rank threads as petty cowards. Like how a grown man that picks on a 12 year old kid in front of others is a petty coward.
Call me a wierdo, but I think rank threads should be treated as nuetral zones. There's plenty of other threads to voice your opinions. Just my opinion. Carry on, maggots!
