Why videos? The logic behind making gameplay videos

First of all, everyone has their own opinion about anything and everything. Just because a player makes a pretty good video and you're now his new fanboy doesn't mean he's the best, nor does it mean you can declare your opinion to be fact. I'm sure you haven't examined every marksman that plays the game to the extent where you can establish this player to be The King of Marksman, and even if you did, once again, this is your opinion. Who are you to judge who's the best?

Second, videos are not the best representation of a players skills. Their only best representation is their time in game. Also, these kinds of videos ARE obviously biased as you yourself acknowledged that he's showing his BEST gameplay moments (in a very limited amount of time, I might add)......well what about his other moments? Many players in this game have had moments where everything is going right in game and they're at their best, yet they didn't record, so you can't use the argument that "he's had these moments" to justify why this video does in fact make him the best marksman.

In any case, I agree with Drv in that I have no idea why you're reacting that way to Scias' comment. If you want to say that in you opinion, he's the best, sure and there's nothing wrong with it. Better yet, why don't you add him to a post in your own personal "inter-realm dream team" that can be found here: http://regnumonlinegame.com/forum/sh...95#post1390495

Kind Regards
