This is funny, because some of you are really missing the point of the Crusade.
The Crusade is, again, is for level 10 and level 11 total noobs. This is probably their first character. Or if not, it might as well be. It's also for nuts-and-bolts players who don't need fancy dragonhawks (who have wimpy caster stats, btw, at low lvl!) or see-thru kitties or whatever.
See, what we were doing wrong is this, metaphorically: A 12 year old kid comes up and asks "what's the best mode of personal transportation??" And we'd argue over Ferarri vs Porsche vs Bentley vs Mercedes vs a fuel-saving hybrid car or a flying car or a helicopter or a jet --- but it's a 12 year old kid!!
The kid really needs advice on a
bicycle which he can ride to school and tootle around the neighborhood for the next four years. And then, when's he's sixteen, he's going to need a used Civic or Saturn or whatever IF he can afford it, the gas and the insurance.
Now do you understand why we say to certain people "BOAR! Now go to Petopia!"
If you don't, um... heh. Yeah. Right.
So please, the Crusade is not for showing off our vast knowledge and dreams. Do I engage in wanting to show off, too? Off course! But the Crusade is not about that. It's about presenting an easy-to-grasp answer to people who really need an easy-to-grasp answer. And for many starting hunters, boar really is the answer. You can't go wrong w/ it. And if you hate it you can always change out! But mostly it's to preserve what little insanity we still have left. Also, we're not saying to always say BOAR! Just know when to say BOAR! It's pretty obvious when. Edited, Mar 5th 2007 2:50pm by IponemaGirl
