EDIT: Just for the record devs this was a bad idea to give ViolentSaint a PL shield because their are many other people who have helped people more than he has...Not saying he doesn't deserve it...Just saying if you give it to some one who has done above and beyond then give one to KingRichie which has most certainly done above and beyond along with other players like mysticaldream and storm!

Honestly I do kinda agree with this, Violent did deserve something cool for his work, but I think others have too. Storm for one example is a very generous cool guy, a lot of people are. I realize you can't really reward us all, but we all have given our part. Good job Violent! None-the-less he did do a good job and deserves it, I am not gonna deny that. Not much more to say though.

To everyone saying that Violentsaint doesn't deserve this, or that a lot of people deserve this more than he does, I'd like to remind you guys that as far as I know, no one else has ever provided a channel for other players to make donations. Sure a lot of players can just give away their spare items, but it's a different thing when you encourage other players to do the same.

Actually, like I said in Vio's thread, I was planning on creating a thread dedicated to sharing my collection of pinks. That's why I was so quick to offer them, what would have been the point of making ANOTHER give-away thread, if someone had already covered it quicker.

Also, the statement that he put in his thread ( he edit it out for more character space, I assume ), about greed and the good ol' days, was exactly the same thing I had said in a conversation I had with him, the morning prior to his post.

Still, he beat me to it, and he totally deserves that shield and more. Good job, buddy.

I've been touring alot so I haven't been on lately and I must say that it was very generous of all of the people who donated. I didn't realize that the community was that strong and kind and I can think of no one more deserving then violent to recieve a gesture of gratitude from the devs. If I was a more active member of the community here on the forums I would have requested something but alas I am quite busy these days. If something like this happens again and you guys see me in towne please tell me I will gladly donate items. Congrats violent.

I tend to agree with this statement. Not to criticize violent or anything, but he did advertise his charity a little better than others. Of course now ppl will create threads of donations just to getthe shield, which obviously is wrong. The ppl that did this vefore the award shud deserve one as well. Not only for giveaways, but for helping out the community, good ideas, lvlong noobs, loaning ppl money. That kinda stuff

This is what he said after I asked him if I could have Conquerers Sword of Pharoah...The third paragraph down was meant for me I'm pretty sure....He said that in the third paragraph after he already gave stuff to people that were lvl 45(At the time I was lvl 41 I believe...
fine i will trade one of the two jewel thiefs forest leathers for your 5 low level items. as i am not trying to make a profit off it. it is simply to help the community.

also @ mrs bannana i already gave you a khara helm of isis yesterday, u cant ask for another pink lol.


it is also sad that i just seem to be giving away pinks to people that are well known and respected high level players, this charity was intended to help new players that cannot afford decent gear...

i just seem to be giving away pinks to people that are trying to sell blasters for 200k *cough* staffed *cough*

thankyou neurion for your comment.

And rofl for me just seing this post after harodiv messaged me ingame saying "shield of legends!!! is that better than my pocket legends shield" and telling me there was a thread dedicated to me XD

and to the people that seem to think i dont deserve it, when i created the giveaway thread it was to get rid of greed, i never asked for anything in return, nor did i ever expect anything. i simply did it to help the community, and it is not the only way i have helped.

here is a quote from my giveaway thread.



ways ive helped the pocket legends community.

violentsaints battlemage/paladin build thread (lvl30-35) has 2,000 views

violentsaints battlemage/paladin build thread (lvl35-40) has 1,801 views

violentsaints pink giveaway thread has 2,055 views. (also spent around 20-30 plat on extra stash slots) EDIT: just spent another 15 plat on stash slots

violentsaints guide to powerlvling thread has 243 views (just recently posted in new players section)

so if you add all the views together thats 6,099 views

so i have basicly helped around six thousand players, and thats just on the forums.

i would like to personaly thank all the people that donated pinks, without you guys there would be nowere near as many pinks to giveaway, i started off with all my pinks (around 60) and i have continued to add to that number along with everyones donations, id like to give a big thankyou to smokester and storm for donating tons of pinks. my stash is currently full, 250 pinks! :P

id also like to thank the developers, it means alot :)

VS, you shouldn't have to defend yourself. You've obviously done a lot for the community, and I don't think anyone will disagree with that.

It sounds like the naysayers are just jealous that their behaviors, whether as significant or not, were not as rewarded.

UNFORTUNATELY, while they have nothing against you specifically, they're using this thread to whine for themselves. Basically, they're hijacking the thread to beg for attention to themselves. It's pretty lame.

To any who feel envious, think of it as a treasure drop for defeating one of the seven deadly boss badguys in the real world, Avarice. I think if you want to get one, too, you should have to go farming. There are six more out here (and Envy is one of them). Besides, Avarice isn't dead. Avarice is merely knocked back, stunned, with stars spinning around his head. He'll return as surely as Skeller Krunch. ;)

People made give away threads in hope of getting one. People have given away a lot more, and not necessarily a lot more, but he wasn't the first, he just made a thread about it. He got cocky about it. I suspiciously think he made the thread for this reason, due to his post about how many threads got a fairly large ammount of views, and how much he deserved a shield. The shield should be for doing something really special, via contest etc, or doing something very original. It turned people into thinking "how can I get a pl shield?" blah blah blah. This decision wasn't a good one from my outlook.

Wow did he say that in the original thread? I never saw the thread. But that's really messed up.

If you saw the quote he made of himself a few pages back, listing all the reasons why he deserved it. Yes, that was in the original thread. Only after he got the pl shield, in the original thread I believe he edited it to make it sound less needy. AFTER he got the shield....

Only Royce deserves a PL shield!

Nope, not once. Part of the reason I'm upset Vio got a pl shield is because ive given away a crap load of stuff...and I don't expect diddly in return. Nor do I want anything in return, since I give to make people happy. That's the true reason to give away items, is to make the other person happy, and know you brought them that happiness

/ends cheesiness (thx dawns xD)

And btw, I noticed several people on this thread talking about buying all the maps and spending plat on respecs, etc. Was it so rare back then for people to buy all the maps, and was it common to act so holier-than-thou and I-deserve-rewards for buying plat?

I think Varking publicized PL on the droid forums. He even got that interview with G for one of those forums recently...

Not at all, I don't remember anything like that back then. I mean, it probably was about the same ratio of people since the community was so much smaller then, but I don't think buying plat was like "omg, you're 1/5 to buy plat this month":p

Edit: nevermind was replying to up above you actually just discussed this---

I don't really see it as a dev mistake. The idea of a crazy rare gift items isn't necessarily bad & the reactions of the players are not in the devs sphere of control. The "... but I was the one who unselfishly helped others moar! Now gimmee!" argument seems a bit confused on the subject & likely not the expected response.

The droid costumes come to mind as a successful special & the forums didn't overflow with rage quits or Varking hate.

Yes, because varking did something to benefit the game very well, and help it progress. He did something little or no people have ever done, and he didn't post a thread about it, or expected anything in return. He did it to help the game progress. He didn't become cocky about it, nor brag, nor post a BAJILLION pics of it, and make the announcement of him getting the costume in his sig for months. He was gracious about the reward, that he didn't expect, and moved on.

Violent? He posted a giveaway thread, giving away items, and letting other people donate items to him to give them away. Wasn't anything special, was very generous, and I know it's the thought the counts, but none of it was really rare, or anything. I think he cancelled out his generosity with all the bragging, and showing off, and posting how much he deserved it....

Seriously, why are you digging up and old thread about how someone was rewarded with a PL shield for something NO ONE else was doing at the time. No one ever had a give away thread previous to his, or made being generous such a common thing. I think it brought the community together and was a selfless act, which he in no way expected anything in return.

owch mysticaldream... i considered you one of my best friends on pocket legends, and you accuse me that it was my intention of the charity from the very beginning was to score myself a pocket legends shield...

my intention at the start, and ever since was to help people, the fact that i stopped playing for 6 months and started playing a couple of days ago, and immediently continued my charity should prove something...

if my intention was just to get a shield, i would have stopped the charity as soon as i got one....

people like you make me question why i even bother helping people in the first place....

he said that me recieving a pl shield was the worse decision the developers ever made and that it was my intention of the chairty from the beginning was me trying to get a pl shield....


This turned out to be the worst decisions the devs ever made :p


Exactly, I almost think he did it precisely for a pl shield, since in the post, he listed that he wanted one, and how much he deserved one. Seemed out of the ordinary.

i didnt say i deserved one, other people said i deserved something because of what i had done, people were saying i deserved something like a custom avatar or title on the forums or some sort of cool unique item ingame.

all i said was i really liked the pocket legends shield, i didnt say i deserved it and i certainly didnt expect one.. i mearly stated that i liked the item...

trust me i was surprised as everyone else that the devs gave me one, i thought u could only win them through competitions, that was the case till i got one.
