I did nothing to earn your hatred until the very end of the shell when I drove the spike in. But the sad part was, I didn't actually kill the shell, it had been dieing for a long time prior. It was the people who wouldn't allow change, who wouldn't allow the shell to move on and eventually improve from what it was becoming that killed it. A lot of people just wanted to be treated fairly and justly, but that was literally to much to ask from some of you. In my time with the shell, I had done nothing but good things for people. I raised people when I wasn't busy. I constantly camped and farmed for the shell. I helped on pop NMs without ever benefitting. I helped on missions without ever benefitting. If you plan on vilifying me, at the very least make sure I did something to deserve it first.
Affinity was a good shell. The members, both as players and as people, were better than you would find anywhere. We accomplished a lot for such a small unknown shell. When it was active and at its peak, we could do anything. We killed KB on our first attempt; many of us had never even touched Behemoth let alone a KB. Had the shell stayed together, you could be assured that only better things were to come. It was sad to allow such a good group end, but there was no stopping it. I still play with a good chunk of the old Affinity group and they are still as good as they were then. To those who have moved on and can still show respect to their fellow shell members, cheers; I hope you all know how I feel so I won't say it. To those who won't forgive and forget, I'll give a silent nod; you still have my thanks for good times even if you won't admit they were good times.
By the way, I still have my Noble's. It's one of my most treasured items and I won't ever let it go. It stays with Lavi forever and ever.
