If you don't think 8 sta is an advantage why did you throw a fit when I said n00bs should get +8 to balance it out? If more sta isn't an advantage why does this thread even exist?
Because only two things qualify you for extra stamina:-
A: You were an early supporter of the game, creating an avatar early enough.
B: You earn it, legally.
Anything else gives you an unfair advantage. It's a financial one. As I said in an earlier post in this thread, it's
huge financial one for me to catch up with an exploiter (or anyone who gets suddenly awarded 8 Stamina just by complaining about it) in terms of HP.
That financial advantage alone makes me very defensive against anyone who attempts to gain a financial advantage over me in this real cash economy; especially if the Stamina gained by either exploiting the bug or by awarding avatars created after the Stamina9>1 change.
These "anyones" gaining the advantage could number from under a thousand (exploiting the bug) to many tens or even hundreds of thousands (creating an avatar after the 1-Stamina cut-off date). My money is where my mouth is.
It's ALL about the money. My real money, in a Real Cash Economy. Its a real pyramid and dog-eat-dog. If you want 7 or 8 HP you have pay for it by chipping.
I played by the rules -
1: I was an early customer, you weren't, not my rules, MAs.
2: I haven't even gone to RT to do any missions yet - have you? If so - how much stamina did you get?
Apparently, I'm more "uber" than you but I can't call anyone "a noob" - yet you are both (presumably(?) you are too) more skilled than me?
I'm definitely a noob in the eyes of CK - read on.....
When I was freelance and looking for a new soc, 2 CK members actively discouraged me from applying on your soc-site because:-
1. "I didn't have enough total kills" (yet at the time, I exceeded the minimum stated)
2. "I hadn't been ingame long enough" "we don't accept noobs" (yet longer ingame than you by 1 year)
3 "I needed to have some nice or uber items" "not noob gear"
Have you lowered your standards now?
. But $3300 sounds like a lot of skills to chip in to catch up and then those that got the free gains can do like wise and your back to square one 
. Also there were some ppl that were not aware that they were doing the same missions, as it was bugged. Once completing it, it didnt register & recieved another phone call 1 hour later, only thing that registered was the stamina gains. So some ppl were oblivious to repeating this mission over after a few tries, until it finally hit them... deja vu? So I can take it that some, were innocent in this dilema.
