I'll admit it, I wasn't here when there were no 4th jobs. And I know that most of you weren't either. Most lie about it for attention, and some are actually real "old-schoolers" Anyways, this vid is a big inspiration to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXdSXiaDjbc This was before 4th job came out, an all archer zakum run. I realize that before 4th job, sniper and ranger are VERY similar. The small difference they get at 3rd job doesn't really matter. So my best guess is that back then, no1 complained about who was better;sniper vs rangers. Why does it matter to us so much now? Why do we always argue about whos better and all that crap?

I was here since 0.2x, and there has always been a ranger v sniper bout, just like there is sin v bandit and dexless v dex and lukless v luk and cyg v adv v hero and i/l v f/p and i v l and f v p etc.

I wasn't really all that high level back then, but I'll give some possible reason I think why things have changed. 1) I think (THINK) that the community back then wasn't quite as damage hungry. Sure people cared about damage, but it wasn't such a competitive sport where random people would walk up to you, ask for your stats/equips, then laugh at you when they see that theirs is higher. 2) As you said, 3rd job Snipers/Rangers are almost identical. There isn't much to compare 3) After fourth job came out, a bunch of the damage hungry people looked at Hurricane and decided to join the bandwagon. Now the archer community is as diverse as other classes in terms of personality, although not quite as much.

[/quote] Yeah they were cuz we can't stun in 2nd job and our arrow doesn't bend, fire is proz (possibly but idk), and we're slow. Not sure if AR and AE were contributing factors.

Back then we were lucky to have people TO zak, now since Anyone could zak its about the less time to take to kill (Aka damage hungry) Blame it on the game being too easy over the years

When 4th job came out, leeching began... Would be so wicked if they could go back in time and give the Big Bang update to GMS's past. At the very least, the Mage changes. Then the people who got to high levels would actually be people who paid attention to the game, not people who merchant. And we wouldn't have so many big-headed mages who simply become an AM or Bishop for the power.

This is so true. Before the game had to do with how cool skills were. Now the game is all about dmg and money.
