Whats even funnier is that there are by far MORE Korea players then US or EU... thats why they have their own client and servers. Try .co.kr you really made your self out to be an idiot there bud.

@Darasugii: Mmk, I'm assuming you're being sarcastic. Imagine that you lived in Korea, and purchasing the gear made your client crash. I don't know if you actually get the gear or not, but if you didn't, would you not be pissed and want it to be fixed so that someone in a BG in full Arena S10 doesn't just step on you?

@Doblins: I dont know which is worse, the fact that you spent all that time making that, or the fact that I can recognize it (probably the latter)
