I kinda liked older banned characters being still on fomelo.
For example: Zhak. I thought it was really cool to see his gear from so long ago and compare it our up and coming monks gear. It was like a look into SoD history!
I thought it also posed more of a challenge for our monks to pass, which was also cool.
As far as the epeen statements, if its about epeen, why do we promote a top 5 list?
Anyways, fomelo is just a tool, so quit blaming the tool.
Secondly, its not like anyone is forcing you to fomelo banned people. If you don't want to acknowledge banned characters, then don't! It's pretty easy. As far as the banned tag, I think that would more than suffice in discrediting people.
A caveat could even be added to the top 5 saying, must not be banned, etc. There is so many other ways, but some of you nerds just had to do whatever you could to get on the top 5. Good job, i'll say.
