	I love how they just bring the cove back without any announcement just throw it on there. Ah well, I love the cove too, even if its dumb.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	Interestingly enough, turdbin did not do anything to retroactively change the gear or the matz here. No such measures were taken... Why? Well, my guess is: they know too well how the gear here is just a good start for newbies, but I (who dooped and created most of the items on all servers) found myself rarely using these... So maybe the gear is not that good at all to deserve any type of nerfing.

	Oh right, I forgot I "found" a bunch of gems somewhere too.� And they finally added the magic trade-in counter, so you don't have to click 10,000 times. I really do like running it though.� It's fun to join a group of nubs and show them how to really do it right.� When you get a good group, with some good players doing their roles well, and a nice purpley map... I think it's one of the best things in the game.� The pacing is great, there's enough randomness to be fun, and the map's just the right size to make it challenging.

Cove was the first challenge, and still the only one to really get all the elements right (glitches notwithstanding). Heavy fort on a hat is now "OP". Lol. If they ever bothered to raise the loot cap on treasure chests from the public area, it would be worthwhile just to run around gathering captain's maps, "resurrect me here", then waiting for a loot bonus weekend. Your loot bonus pots wouldn't even count down.

	Cove is boring and tired.

	Cove is the only challenge I can stand. I think its the mad rush to farm it, nobody gives a shit about Cannith Challenges or that ES shit, but since Cove is only around a few weeks out of the year, its special. Its different.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I really like both it and the buckler.
