![]() That being said, I mainly do it because once you get to the brrrgh, everything starts to get a bit harder and the amount of cogs to defeat increases. Then again, my gags are at least at level 4 with the exception of throw and squirt, which are level 5. I've completed the VP twice with 54 laff. Why do you lower toons insist on running the VP multiple times before actually doing something productive? If we had the option to CHOOSE who is on what side, I'd bring more because my brother and I can carry 3 lower toons through the cogs, but since we can't do that, it's a gamble that people survive, and I don't want to lose a VP because someone was overeager to participate in the VP. It's to the point now where I'm just putting a laff limit on my groups because there are too many low levels and they make it difficult. I'm all for helping people with the VP, but why are these low level toons even here? Why is it more appealing to make it harder for other people than to actually progress in the game and get better? We had to use our some level 7 gags to finish up and keep the others alive. Then, shocker, for round two, it was the same groups. We got lucky, and everyone survived round one. This resulted in us having to power through all the cogs so they only had to fight 4 of them. Lo and behold, the 102, 97, and 99 were together, whereas the lower laff were together. For example, I put together a group earlier today that had a 102, a 97, a 54, a 99, a 65, a 60, a 62, and a 54. My question for you guys, especially the low laffers who INSIST on VPing instead of actually doing something that makes you better, is WHY? They're adamant that "They may be weak, but they know what they're doing." or that "They can take care of themselves." I've had several people straight up tell me, "You can carry me through this, so let's go." The hardest part though, is when these toons aren't cold caller level 1. It's frustrating (as a "higher laff" toon) to constantly have all these low levels responding on the IRC, showing up, and having to tell them, "Sorry, but you're not strong enough." ![]() It's seems as if the second people finish Minnies Melodyland, they give up on Oldmans starter task and just decide "I'll VP" and they don't get better because the VP is a terrible place to train. I'm OK with the occasional low laff toon, but there are times when for every toon above 70 laff, there are 4 who are 54 or lower.
