Schadenfreude, yes those are fair qualifications if that is the case.
I don't know that someone even with those methods finished before my toon but if so and if they show me in game Yes I will happily update my bio to say "one of server first" or "server first to run 30+ racial lives" or something to that effect.
I know one who was very close in another guild, good guy, wont name names, that used a majority of Ottos which is fine he bought em fair and square, but I, In truth, don't know any yet that claim honestly to have completed before 9-15. If Bron himself is claiming he completed on 6-15, and used ottos, ok I would accept that, not sure if that is the case here though... If someone is saying they completed sans Ottos by 6-15, I am calling BS on that, the math does not add up to support that, nor have I head anyone claim that first hand for themselves.
Look I don't like childish internet battles, but I was called out in public needlessly by complete strangers attacking my integrity, my mental health, my honesty all because they were jealous of what I worked very hard to accomplish. I am quite happy to go about my merry way, but I am not going to sit back while fools disparage me without cause.
As you know if you know me, I always treat folks with respect they deserve and expect the same.
