Leave it at "GRATitude" bossman!
I don't take much pride in chaining, but it's a means to an end. "Gratz!" for something I haven't done solely myself are wasted breath.
Although what the end is, I've no clue. All I know is it (the chain) gives me a new social outlet and some extra XP to devote to...who knows what. I don't have any plan beyond exploring and testing my mettle. As a result, my knowledge of geography and lore are on par with Asheron himself and I know how to die in the most opportune places to facilitate easy recovery.
That and I usually have a 6-pk of Cydna Wren's portal gems on me
I'm one of those lonewolves who prefers to do it all themselves, by themselves. I run my 3 characters on 1 account in tandem to complete some quests. That's how much of a loner I am. Unfortunately, the plethora of level 126+ born many years after me has finally gotten under my skin along with Turbine's continued catering to the upper 20%.
Besides; where else was I going to find a "no-hassle vassal"?? Pity the chain isn't longer. It's a great alternative for a casual player like myself!
Anyway, thanks for the grats boss, but they fall on hollow ears. My accomplishments aren't my own so I must recognize those who help me reach my goals.
I think that Sunzi Bingfa (Sun Tzu) would have liked me very much.
