Real year ones don't reset characters and boost stats because you're afraid of what mlg wanna-be hipster kids might think of your f'n k/d. Real year 1's don't give 2 apple farts about what gun and subclasses an unemployed begging streamer uses, because we learned (about 20 nerfs/buffs ago) to use whatever the hell our thumbs tell us feels right. Real year 1 players wear the earlier days troubles AND our stats like an f'n badge of honor. Don't f'n talk about the originals here, unless you are one. If you're a year one player and you've reset for that reason, then youre not a scrub.... .... your a SCRATCH. And yes , we can tell who you are. Since we're on the subject (and I'm blinded by rage) what else defines REAL year 1rs? Edit: Great responses people. I'm really digging the individual stories about your history with your characters. To those who remember resetting for VOG and CE runs, I got no issue with that as it was a real struggle to reach that max. Edit 2: spartaboy777 said it best and really captured what I mean, but with a bit more eloquence. For those of you that are year 2, welcome. This post was in no way directed towards you.
