Being one of the things you're railing against, I'll pass on helping you out. But for grading your rant, you get flat out F. That's not a rant. That's three bloody sentances. A rant is long winded, flowing, and contains arguments. All you said was 'I think there's too many jedi and so do you.'

You issued nothing more than a statement. If you want to rant you have to go above and beyond what you posted. Yeah, SOE is promoting Jedi. Ok. Why does that bother you. Explicit detail now. And rants can be rambly and full of angst so don't be shy with that. Stay away from blatent vulgarity, bigotry, and racism though.

I don't feel any more educated from reading your post. I don't feel involved. I don't feel because of it. That made it a bad rant. It's something that would easily be passed by without a second thought. Your objective isn't clear and your delivery is lacking.... everything. Why? Why? Tell me why you feel this way. Once you do that it will become a rant.

Until then, it's just an opinion, not a rant.

oohhhhh a Jedi with a vocabulary.



You see, what this peson did is called an Educated Rant. It is also a subtle poke at you for not being a JEEDAI like him.



all in fun....

So in your humbled opinion my post should have included how dull and annoying the mass number of jedi's I see on a daily basis are. How I feel that there is no reason for anyone to be a doctor, since some random jedi will come along within just about 10 minutes of anyone asking to do a wound heal. How jedis do nothing but whine everytime someone else gets something good and jedis didn't get it. How just about every jedi thinks that they are better than any other player just because they were willing to WASTE enough time to grind out meaningless xp to be said jedi. How now that they are a jedi they now grind out even more garbage xp, pop on the terminals every three seconds because they have to grind in groups like everyone else now(great something else they can whine about). How everytime i turn around there's a minimum of five jedis just hanging out at just about any NPC city just hanging out in there robes begging to be DBed by BH just so they can cry and complain when said BH uses concussion shot and said jedis aren't smart enough to use saber throw or use a ranged weapon to retaliate. So correct me if I'm wrong, is that what you wanted from me?

He's just pointing out the basics of Ralph's Rules of Ranting, and trying to give you tips.


Honestly, if you want tips on ranting, you should go to the BHforums. If you wants tips on whining, go to the Jedi forums. Here, all we can help with is Sarcasm, Cynicism, Pie and Beer.

Now that was a flame and would have been a perfect complement to what could have been a good rant (which it is not). No offense.
