Haha Shada, you always were one for dueling though :). I know you would have
given Thott some fun. Given his equipment and his skill, I had confidence
Thott would beat everyone. And will beat everyone...

I have never been a PvP person, and going into a battle I am sure to lose just
makes it less appealing.

Often it's amazing fun to try things much harder than your current known level.
But that's against non-sentient opponents.

And apart from all the other reasons, I have to work. The schedule didn't even
allow for me to go and watch.

I made the point in another post that BotB rewards those already 'winning' the
game even more. I wonder how satisfying it is for those people.

P.S. 6 blue to go for 60 - PAIN
P.P.S. WOOT on Hobben hehe
