Alright so I just wanted to make another topic about defence, if mad please click back button. The last few months has pretty much been the pure community bitching about defence and why adamant sucks ass, well I'll tell you right now.
So pretty much pures were originally made to be focused around one stat (e.g a ranged pure or a magic pure and then you had 60 attack with 99 strength etc.) and then a few years ago, when people started questing for rune gloves, people started to get 20 defence so that they could use rune gloves. Then shortly after a bunch of clan leaders started influencing 20 defence because of the advantages that it provided.
We as a community are 1-20 defence out of respect, or we were originally. Pure warring is a completely different ball game to main warring. If I liked main warring, I'd go join a clan on my main. But the 'speed' of pure warring makes it much more fast-paced and so as a community we sort of agreed to only allow 1-20 defence in clans.
Using 1-20 defence was always the way pures fought, we didn't allow 45 defence because we were pure clans but also because that wouldn't be fair if we fought clans with 1-20 defence, I'm sure all clan leaders are leading in this pure sector because they like the style of warring.
Now with 30 defence, it's a step right past 20 and onto rune. And clans with 20 defence requirements that don't allow adamant complain about other PURE clans using 30 defence armour. Well let me ask you something right now...
EOP complain about people using 40 defence armour attacking them when EOP are 20 defence.
And then EOP wonder why MM complain about the 30 defence when MM are 20 defence.
The argument is that 30 defence has changed the dynamics of pure warring, like it or not. There are people with 35 defence in pure clans that are able to tank a lot longer than people with 1 or 20 defence. I mean there were probably people who got 30 defence back in 2006 but leaders wouldn't allow adamant out of respect. And today, go out on saturday and pretty much every clan will be there with adamant apart from the clans who remember what it was like when we could all be civil and agree to stop it.
I mean what if MM changed to 1-40 defence and allowed rune, everybody would flame them right and be like wow MM are mains now **** this. Well that is exactly what 30 defence is to pure clans. This post has no real meaning, I'm just avoiding my coursework like a bad ass.
