Now, well, we just got the drop from Tsukiyaomo. 
Congrats on your kill. I truly believe the key to engaging in intelligent discussions on the forums is to learn and participate in all aspects of the game. That way we are able to see things from all angles. I only recently started PvPing in a competitive fashion about a month ago (used to be a major gold thief back in the day but that doesn't count as "laddering" lol) and I gained a new level of respect for something I really didn't have much appreciation for before I started. I can honestly say that I look forward to learning the other areas of the game as well. Just got my very first arena win the other night because somebody asked me to join so the arena would start already... he didn't count on me winning... lol... but I just never tried it before. Now I think I am going to do more arenas. Had no idea what I was missing before I tried it.
All I know is that the game becomes more and more enjoyable to me the more I broaden my horizons.
