Lol, who cares, either way he didn't really earn 60. He "cheated" to get
it. Not cheated as in broke any rules but definitely cheated the system to
get ahead of it. I refuse to congratulate, hold in awe, or respect someone
that finds pleasure in cheating the system. And I wouldn't be surprised if
he didn't have a RL friend or roomate that helped him keep the character at
it for longer than normal periods of time. Just because other people
weren't logging into the account doesn't mean that other people weren't
playing it ;)
Glad he's 60.
Hope he enjoys being there.
But... I don't find it all that surprising. Nor do I find it something to
be proud of or to respect someone for. Heh, everyone knows that FoH are a
pack of powergamers (very very GOOD powergamers). Not saying this is a BAD
thing, just that it isn't my style and that I don't respect someone for how
fast they can hit 60 ;)
Not to mention that he and Furor are total jerks if you ever have to deal
with them in game ;)
