    No.. I listed the first year those features were available on the Samsung Galaxy line of phones. Every one of those features has been around for YEARS on that one particular make / model phone. Apple was years behind playing catch-up.

    Weather

    Looks like a trailer park. While it is a shame people have to endure that, I kind of have zero sympathy for those who choose to live in flimsy trailers on the coasts of Florida. Hurricanes always happen. That shit is not built for it whatsoever.

    Torrents

    IIRC, if you connect to the IPT site via VPN you will eat a ban. You can run your Torrent client (uTorrent etc) through a VPN no problem, but if you are connecting to the IPT site itself, stay off VPN. It is against their rules. All of that said, I don't know anyone with any issues connecting...

    Torrents

    The "high risk" torrents are those dumb public sites. I've never had an issue in all my years on IPT & BTN. That's the entire point behind invite only trackers. The other big reasons, as pointed out, are quality standards and automation.

    IIRC, everyone pulled Seru out and in one corner. It was easier to keep the healer pops dead in that smaller area vs random adds from all over. We also didn't bother with bane weaps. We dual tanked myself and another war using proc weaps (BoC + SoD) to hold aggro. Dual tanks to keep aggro during...

    We (Darkwind) had worldwide first HP Ssra before she was rooted in place. So much was changed on the fly at the bleeding edge in that xpac. It was really the first glaring obvious xpac that SoE started pushing release dates before completion of zones. It only got worse in PoP and then GoD was so...

    Early VT also had crazy abilities like trash that chain blinded and all sorts of nonsense. It was still relatively easy though. We downed AHR after only a couple attempts. VT was basically a loot piñata zone with piles of pain in the dick trash between mobs.

    The issue with VT keys were the fact the shards dropped in regular open access zones. Forget the actual raiding guilds competing, you occasionally had people camping shards that were 4th tier or lower guilds on the server and wouldn't realistically down Emp until the next xpac. Scrubs basically...

    There are plenty of Advisors that don't give a shit and want to maximize their own profits. It definitely has a predatory angle, but there is so much money to be made of people's general financial ignorance that it does indeed exist. However, there are Advisors which are bound by law to act in...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The BMWs have exhaust valves too (and have for a very long time). The issue with the sound pumped through the stereo is kind of a double edged sword. Models like the M5 that have it sound great via their own exhaust, its the unbelievable level of cabin damping to eliminate any exterior noise...

    It could also be perceived as having something of value to hide. And if a thief is that determined to get inside, the lock is the least of your concerns. They are simply going to break a window.

    I like how you guys dropped swords across the invis bridge. There was a baby mushroom mob at the start of the bridge. We would just chain fear the thing and it would path directly across the middle of it. Conga line to follow across, but you still always had a death or two. Fun times!

    Again, look at income levels. FLAT. Housing has climbed steadily upward at a blistering pace. Pre-2007 bad lending practices (subprime mortgages) and post crash due to all-time low interest rates. Again, people are just dumb and only care what that monthly payment is. Total $ spent is...

    Everything is connected to interest rates. Houses and vehicles have all grown in price exponentially, yet wages remain relatively flat for decades. How do people suddenly afford far bigger loans than ever? Low interest rates mixed with far more loose lending practices. (Bad mortgage lending had...

    We already are in a bubble. People are just fucking clueless. No one has a grasp on the value of money anymore (aside from us thrifty gents here in this thread). The problem started with interest rates being floored to stimulate spending during the 2008 recession. With cheaper interest rates...
