This is sort-of my point. He wants to game so he bought a machine with windows on it, yes? Now he does not have to game to survive. He does not even need a computer. So in order to get what he wants he buys something from a company which allows him to do what he wants and then badmouths them. I don't care that MS has a stranglehold on the Gaming OS market. Windows has always worked fine for me and I don't mind feeding the meat grinder, if you will, that is the Microsoft corporation.

Try using Firefox as your browser, and Microsofts Antispyware programe in addition to your own firewall(s) and AV, iv seen an unimaginable improvement in the safety and lack of spyware and crap since doing this.

Myself, W/Mo 12-13,and a mate who was a Mo/R 12 wiped out every mob in the area, including every single char around the ashes area, and every single char on the Guzzar Bloodfur (thats not his exact name i dont remember it) mission nearby with one death. Which was my fault for not seeing a Char Healer and killing it.

Requires a completely different style of play from PvP to 'pwnzor' PvE, IMO, but feels just as good when you pull out a good performance, especially with a mate around.

Start learning who are good players by spotting their strengths, and good play in groups, and not just focusing on weaknesses of idiots which are glaringly obvious.
Try getting to know even the average 'not utterly crap' players, and try teaming up with those people more often.
A small team of 2-3 people that can work together well can outperform any number of hopeless players, and get a bigger share of loot/exp/gold at the same time.
