I think a lot of you all are forgetting two things:

1. For every Pikeman out there and in here that hates the profession and resents wasting their time on a weapon skill that is grossly underpowered, there's someone else out there who loves being a Pikeman. They just don't have near as much of a reason to come whine on the forums as the people who are dissatisfied, so don't go thinking you represent the community or anything.

2. "Hybrid" is a word that can be used in more than one way. It's not Thunderheart's fault that you can't read the comment "Pikeman is a hybrid profession" in it's context and understand what he meant. In-game lingo shouldn't replace reading comprehension.

I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with the profession, or that TH shouldn't have used a synonym of hybrid to say the exact same thing. But there's way too much non-constructive and childish whining going on, and far too many undeserved attacks at TH.

First of all, I love being a pikeman and don't whine about it at all anymore. I whine about dumbasses and stupid crap instead. Stuff like THs response to these questions.

Second, you sir are an idiot. I can't believe how foolish you are. Hybrid, in regards to this game, means one thing and one thing only. It is one thing comprised of two separate and individual things. Pikeman is NOT comprised of two separate things. To this there can be no argument. One of two things happened. Either TH meant, as you say, to saysomething else or he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

Most people on this board choose to believe in the second option. You choose to believe the first. Just because others choose to believe that TH doesn't know what hes talking about does not mean they have no 'reading comprehension' as you like to say. It means they have no faith. By having a differing opinion then yours does not mean they understand his words any less than you think you do.

The only way for this to be resolved is for TH himself to respond and clear it up. There are two chances of this happening, slim and none and slim just walked the hell out.

Hes probably not going to respond due the overwelming success that is the Imperial Crackdown on many servers

Another option is that hes not going to respond because hes busy refiling his resume with Blizzard

You know, I don't think we have a 10-page post on the Pikeman board. It's about time!

room thinking "Ignore it and it'll just go away! It'll just go away!" heh

Considering that he generally gives the same evasive half truth answers thatavoid any effort at giving a definite answer to any concerns or bugs, all the while blithely ignoring any facts, testing or questions of any class he deals with I doubt hes affected at all.

Ask the Musicians, Entertainers, Creature Handlers or (most of all) Droid Engineers their opinion of him and I think you'll find its even lower than ours

Ironically he was hired as sort of a public relations person to the playerbase, and after that first month or so of the "honeymoon" he generally has done nothing but atagonise it more than placate it
