If I try really hard, one day, one day, I just might be as cool as this guy. Tbh, not sure how I'll survive knowing how high the bar is to be considered "rad".

Enjoy your popularity, you crazy, crazy cat.

Actually Soy, Willie is the one being Trolled. He is doing nothing wrong. He is exercising his freedom to use an alternate format for post layout. He is free to use the format he wishes! It is sad how intolerant some people are.

This is the internet. We call out people for doing stupid things. Are you new or something?

Been on the internet for well over 20 years. It seem to me the ones doing the calling out are the stupid ones. Someone does something different and he/she is attacked for no reason but they are being different. If you are having trouble reading Willie's posts maybe the problem lies with the reader and not the writer. And people say my generation was closed minded!

I don't have trouble reading his post. Comprehension is not an issue.

The simple notion of attention seeking is as old as the net itself though.

If you recall back in the old days, original trolling served a purpose of vetting suspicious [typically new or lurkers] members of the community to find out if they are authentic members who will bring something positive to discussions or if they are out for trouble.

Should I go on.

I posted onto the original thread focusing on this issue. I too was noticing a difference in how easy I was going down in my 'Phract. I'm noticing a lot of people saying that the 'Phract is an easy target. I'm not disputing that. The issue that the OP is talking about is how recently, the 'Phract seems to be getting cored easier than before. I had some theories as to why this could be, one of them being that with the LRM nerf, a lot of pilots starting using more direct fire weaponry than in the past. So when in the past when I was used to seeing "Incoming Missiles" as I was being pelted with ballistics/lasers, now I'm just being pegged with more ballistics and lasers without warning.

That being said, I played a whole lot this weekend and can't say that the issue is as noticable for me than it was when I saw the first thread. However, I have likely altered my piloting in order to keep myself safer. So, while I haven't noticed it this past weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me there was a problem with the 'Phract armor, as I was questioning it myself even before I saw the first thread.
