It seems some people have taken the "powergamer" vs. "casual or RP player" argument a bit too far.

Somehow because someone has 648608 harvesters up they are instanty charged with the title of powergamer, and it is apparently obvious to everyone except me that all of there wares are junk.

I won't mention names, out of respect for him, butaround tatooine on my server there is one man in particular that has hundreds of harvesters running. He has his own town. He crafts superior weapons to any I have found in the bazaar.

He is also quite a roleplayer. He saw a friend and I battling for our lives and invited us to follow him to his city. We followed and were in awe. He told us he saw us fall in battle and wished to help us, provided that we CONSIDER joining the empire.

I began to wonder how he got all these harvesters up but the question was answered when I saw several people wearing his guild tag. They were all helping each other, and to great advantage.

Everyone else I mention his name to in game accuses him right off the bat of being a powergamer and that no one could ever get as far as he has without all-night macros and such...and that they would never give there credits to someone like that.....

I understand the title, but there is a MAJOR difference between being dedicated to the point that you come home from work (or school or whatever) and look forward to nothing else but playing SWG and someone who grinds out 32842385238582354 CDEF pistols with below avg stats and no powerups...

It just seems to me that anyone who gets surpassed by another in their profession wants to turn around and throw around names and accusations. Rather than improving their own wares on their way to their 3rd master title....

Sorry for the rant...had to get it out.
