This is the point though I don't want new stuff I want less crowded areas
where I can hunt and get loot. I don't care if it's any old loot but I want
loot. Like I said I love guk and I have no problems with the stuff I just
want to be able to hunt and get loot like lower guk. They can make the same
loot in guk spawn in Paw for all I care but give me a zone where I can get
some loot. Again I think the hihg level prohblem is more deservering
consdiering you just want new stuff well you can do that go level some and
you can get new stuff.
