Yes, FPS forums are filled with impolite people

but about the sword, you dont have to wait until a higher level because by the time you get a high level you're not going to beed some fancy, flaming sword to kill something and some of the base weapons you unlock at higher levels (glass, deadric, ebony) are better than that sword anyway. My advice is get it now, kick a** with it, and when you become a higher level and that sword seems to be getting weaker, then just get something deadric or glass.
BTW, have you considered Umbra? I highly recommend that sword. :goodjob:
