To rush, or not to rush? (An exhaustive examination of the infamous concept of rushin

[MightyMicah]

Hey Spacetime! Thanks for checking out my thread!

Today I decided to address the infamous topic of "rushing," or, more importantly, what to think about it. I realize that there have been many, many threads on this topic. In fact, it seems everyday another person is posting a thread about rushing. Even I, myself, have already posted many threads on this topic in the past year or so. So why post another one?

First of all, just because something has been posted in the past doesn't mean we shouldn't keep posting on it! I suppose it's understandable if its a guide to something and can't really be done any better, but opinions are a totally different story.

Second, there are constantly (I repeat CONSTANTLY) new pvp players joining the game and learning the ways of pvp. These guys often don't know what to think about this whole issue.

Third, even the people most certain they will never rush, or they will always rush, could easily change their mind. Opinions change, people change, ideas change, concepts change, the game changes! So why are we so stuck in our ideas about rushing?

My post is going to be divided into four separate portions, "The Current Situation," "Pros and Cons of rushing," "Rights and Wrongs of Rushing" and, finally, "What are We to Make of Rushing?" I hope you find my thoughts and insight on this idea very beneficial and interesting! (Bear in mind I will not present MY personal view of rushing until the very end of the thread.) If you have the time to read it thoroughly, please do so! I'd love to read the feedback that y'all give!
