Well, if there are 2 people, who have some decent experience, and one is calling bullshit on other, because he has "2 levels more on HC character", I totally agree. This is annoying, and person in question should be punished. I still doubt that if you hide your profile, someone will just go "well, he might have more experience than me". However, if there is someone who just came here, played one character, and claims that everyone are wrong... well. This is what I'm talking about. Off-topic: Ps. Did I mention that I love your avatar? D: Who is it, btw? Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

So, why are people allowed to hide their profiles? Because privacy is a right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sue_ufnvqcs Last edited by Samkiud on Feb 28, 2015, 2:52:50 AM	Posted by Samkiud on Feb 28, 2015, 2:52:36 AM Quote this Post
High level characters appear on ladders and the information can be retrieved and stored. http://poestatistics.com Just enter the account of anyone who has his profile set to private. You'll see what he does not want you to see ;-)	Posted by Mr_Mustasch on Feb 28, 2015, 3:11:30 AM Quote this Post
WOW people really care about that stuff? I personally delete my characters on regular basis. I'll probably delete my current characters too once the next leagues start. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.	Posted by rockmassif on Feb 28, 2015, 3:35:43 AM Quote this Post

Yeah, what people dont understand is the fact anyone can delete a char no matter the lvl so someone could have a few lvl 90s or even lvl 100s and deleted those.

People should stop caring about how they are viewed by others, life would be a crap ton more enjoyable.	Posted by leto2626 on Feb 28, 2015, 6:41:27 AM Quote this Post
