User:Acanous/The one shot post
The One Shot Post is a term derived from the City of Heroes Official Forums. It reffers to post #10036754 made on 01/18/08 at 02:31 AM(EST) by the user Candlestick.
In responce to a topic started by a known 'farmer' speculating on the future direction of the game, Candlestick replied simply: "all your gonna do is just farm behemoths anyways"
This immediately spurred other community members to inject thier own opinions, most following up by quoting the origional "all your gonna do is just farm behemoths anyways"
uses for this phrase:
-Any time the speaker wishes to express apathy towards another person, especially when said person is on a Tangeant.
-When the speaker wishes to call attention to a particular habit displayed by the addressed
More recently, the phrase has been used to counter the argument that City Of_ PVP is pointless.
Example: Person one: "PVP is a waste of time, why would I want to try it when it gives no reward?" Person two: "All your gonna do is just farm behemoths anyways".
The implied "Farming Behemoths" denotes a popular lv 45-50 mission on City of Heroes, wherin the only enemies are renamed Circle of Thorns Behemoths. This mission is popular due to the relative ease of the enemies, and the higher-value Magic salvage they drop.
