New 'the's that dont make sense

And any other new changes that arnt proper!!!

Well i dont think these work

of the Guile
of the Suicide
of the horseshoe
of the betrayal
of the Fire Rate
of the Long Range

And i think these work with 'the', but sound better without it!!

of Night
of Shadow Hunter
of Ruse

And Smuggeler kind of works better without it too!!!

Anyone agree or dissagree?? Anything to add??

the leader
the speed
the fox
the youth

The Leader is grammatically correct unless you are deeminng Leader to be adresssing someone. Fox also works.

The Youth would sound like the song I am currently using as my tag, Youth Gone Wild by Hammerfall (Skid Row cover)

The youth would be adressing something

There is no the youth or the speed!!!

Check the auction drop down boxes for the full lists!!!

Not EVERY item has been changed, only the ones that at first glance to the team worked with it!!

This list is pointing out the ones that dont work and need to be changed back

Yes but u also mentioned speed which u never commented on!!! So i came to the conclusion that you were complaining about it, not speculating!!!

And i was only saying that they dont exist, not shouting!!! But i can look at it as a speculation so its ok!!!

Sori!!!

Horseshoe, Long Range, Shadow Hunter and Smuggler all definitely make more sense with the article.

Why have you brung the 'The' back again? It looks flaming stupid and makes no sense. Could you like... put it back, and AT LEAST NOTIFY US if your gonna change it, so we can argue and start being you with a salami?

Seriously, it looks really stupid with all the 'the's in almost every word

Some of them make sense though. 'the scout' or 'the death sower' make more sense to me then 'of scout' or 'of death sower' then again, those two suffixes could work either way depending on what your implying with the name.

Some are stupid I have to agree...and if we didn't like them so much (the 'the's), why were they brought back? :S

Better get used to them because they are here to stay and feel free to any non-sense ones so I can deal with it

I didn't like them last time they were added, I was pleased when they were removed, and I like it even less now they are back without warning or chance for appeal.

They add unnecessary text and make the game less intuitively comprehensible. It's like adding "a shiny new" in front of every item, or "my good vampire, aren't you lucky?" at the end - unnecessary! Out with The Thes!

Well that sucks monkey bawlz then, first you implement it, we bitch about it because it sucks, then you take it away.

Now you RE-IMPLEMENT it under our noses, and as soon as we mention it, you basically say "STFU N00B" and give us the finger?

You sir, can feel the wrath of my spartan scream!

SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I'd be certainly more helpful if you pointed out any of the combinations that don't make sense until then I assume they are all sensible

One thing that doesnt make sense [really], is why XXX of XXX is seperated by trade from XXX of the XXX

e.g., it would be much easier if it was laid out:
[shirt or XXX]
Shirt of the Cobra
Shirt of Dodges
...
...

Instead of:

Shirt of XXX
[a-z]
Shirt of the XXX
[a-z]

Ones I don't think make sense:

of the Addict
of the Gladiator
of the Wanderer
of the Genius
of the Pilgrim
of the Apprentice
of the Fencer
of the Guard
of the Guardsman
of the Looter
of the Orchid
of the Smuggler
of the Shepherd
of the Strongman
of the Arms Dealer
of the Ancestors
of the Plague
of the Dryad

I think if you want to keep these "the" in the name then you should have of the Addicts or of the Strongmen etc. and that doesn't sound too good for all of them either.

in my opinion on this topic the dev's have adopted an "if it aint broke fix it till it is" attitude......

i wantthem all gone and i know alot of other people do too.....

so why not for once just give us what we want

Let's see... i think ALL OF THEM sounds stupid and crappy. Last time we though about all but two we're dumb. I don't know why you re-implemented it, and expect us to re-list the dumb ones when we already told you before.

lets have them all gone.

shorts of strongman makes sense and sounds right.

shorts of the strongman sounds too long winded, and has lost its 'oomph'

and the same for all 'of the's actually.

Yep, remove them all. It was good before. No need to enforce grammar everywhere moreover where it's not needed.
