What a lowbie has to go through when asking for a buff!

[Lhancelot]

Ironically, I had just spent the last 3 hours making banded armor and buffing tunnel lowbies on my druid prior to logging on my lvl 5 necro to XP a little bit before bed.

Big shout out to Bouffalo who sowed and gave regens to anyone who asked and didn't turn into a melted puddle of dumb. :mad:

Also, if sitting on the tunnel floor is "busy," then yes this caster was really busy.

[Raavak]

He really schooled you, didn't he.

[katrik]

To be fair, it is super obnoxious to be begged for buffs all the time. When I’m on my shammy it’s like oh god leave me alone.

[branamil]

Yeah, the noobs really wear you down after a while. At first it's like, "woohoo! clarity for everyone!" But after this 6,000th time running through EC and someone is like "c plz", and you have no idea where they are, and you're just trying to get some shit done, it's like holy shit fuck off.

[Lhancelot]

To be fair, it is super obnoxious to be begged for buffs all the time. When I’m on my shammy it’s like oh god leave me alone.

If I am on my shaman or druid in the tunnel, it never bothers me when people ask for buffs. I realize on these classes the list of requested buffs can be fairly substantial sometimes on a druid or shaman, but this fellow is an enchanter. I seriously doubt his fingers were falling off from casting Clarity non-stop for hours. :)

He clearly states I should have been offering money to show my appreciation of his time casting a buff on me, and he KNEW I didn't so that's why he didn't bother casting a C in the first place.

***I tip druids for POTG regularly because I know it actually takes a ton of mana and actual time to sit and regen after casting it.

I posted this because I can only imagine an actual noob coming to this server and asking someone for a buff and getting this response. Everyone reading it knows it's an asinine response. let's just be real here, bros.

[fan D]

dude you're a bug. you've been on p99 for 5years? 9years? Playing EQ for 18 hours ??

And ya have to exp in Eastern fuckin Commonlands? This is your 1000000th toon and you're gonna grind the same bewshit you've done a zillion times. AND you're gona be upset about not getting -EVERY- buff you wanted?

oi vey dude, go exp somewhere fun. ec boring af anyway

[Baler]

I'll argue about the price of ports. But all lowbies should ask for / receive buffs. I don't care if they're level 1. Buffing in any way helps keep the population lively.

I avoid EC buffing because idk if it's the person's mule or just a honesty lowbie.

[XeroKill]

My favorite people are the hailers. They see me on my Druid or Shaman and just run up and hail me... Then they just stand there staring at me like I am a fucking vending machine that isn't working.

A) I am not a mind reader, and though I can generally guess what buffs you want, if you can't be bothered to ask for what you want in a polite way, then I can't be bothered to give you shit.

2) Just because a person doesn't immediately start buffing you the moment you hail them doesn't mean they are ignoring you... they might just be *gasps* AFK! Came back to my keyboard to find 3 hails and a fucking tyrade in tells about being "the reason P99 sucks etc."

D) Nobody owes you shit.

(1 I am bad at lists.

[d3r14k]

This is kind of hard for me to fathom. Being a druid myself, I can't think of a single time I've turned anyone away who has asked for a buff. The only exception being maybe when I was already porting out with a fare in hand.

I'll be happy to pass out PotG when I reach 60 as well, only because I know what a boon it can be to any class. My DAP mates seem to pass it out like hotcakes some days, which I am eternally thankful for.

I get the annoyance of constantly being asked for buffs, but if you're in the EC tunnel just sitting on your ass and reading /auction like it's some sort of stock market graph, you can probably spare a couple seconds to type /target <name> and press the "4" or "5" button on your keyboard.

I am very upset. Dude I love my EC orcs, don't tell me where to level at I play EQ my way and I buff all lowbies who ask without expecting plats.

Exactly. ^

I been on this server off and on for 5 years, and even when it might annoy me a tad I realize where I am at and what class I am on and never refuse to buff someone or expect a tip.

I realize everyone is different, but this dude was asinine.

***Most people chiming in support of not buffing lowbies have a personal distaste of me so they aint being objective here. Love you elf pals! :)

[Baler]

I been on this server off and on for 5 years

What's your first forum handle?

[shuklak]

I was once afk after being askd for buffs and the kid sent a follow up request. Still afk of course so no reply. The next message was him calling me a scumbag for not buffing him lol.

[plasma1010]

The ONLY buff I ever ask for is a SOW. I don't even ask for buffs in groups.

[Lhancelot]

What's your first forum handle?

Here's what happened as best as I can explain it.

My first round of playing on P99, I never verified my account on the forums via email I just logged in and played. I would try to post, but it always said contact admin or something similar to that.

I then left and started playing SWTOR.

I then returned to P99 some significant time later, found I still couldn't log in so I finally decided I had to be a part of this awesome community and the only way to do it was to be able to post on the forums.

I lost the old email that was originally sent and was told that I would have to create a new account with a new email for the forums, and that's when Lhancelot was created.


What you do in game matters more than forum quest! :)

That's true.

I mean sometimes forumquesting can be serious, but typically people tend to show their asses more here and that makes me want to slap them with trollings.

In the game, people behave subdued, you know, reputations and all.

[fan D]

I am very upset. Dude I love my EC orcs, don't tell me where to level at I play EQ my way and I buff all lowbies who ask without expecting plats.

Then don't get upset at people who play EQ their way...

the guy isnt friendly to randoms. he doesn't know you, you may be a bad person. theres hundreds of reasons

don't be a hypocrite

He is a greedy asshole that expects lvl 4s and 5s to plop plats into his window to cast Clarity. That is being asinine and he is wrong for being that way.

I am upset that lowbies have to go through this. they deserve better dude.

[Jimjam]

Everyone needs to lay off Lhancelot; if he didn't twenty box a bunch of level 5-20 toons the low end game would be dead!

Also, what lowbies? It's just been you. Someone who whatever, been playing here for years? idk

a 45 year old man whos been playing eq for 20years didnt get a clarity the second he asked.

Fact of the matter is there's actually more than just me leveling in EC, we are on Blue you realize that right? We aint on Red where 10 people might log in if you lucky.

Let's keep calm heads here, the fact of the matter is a noob or lowbie asking for a simple buff shouldn't feel obligated to hand plats to another player when all they are requesting is a simple buff.

DE SK? Dude, you're a paper tank. Keep your buffs up or the healer is gunna go dry.

Anyone who has ever grouped with one of my toons will know I'm an absolute diva for buffs, and with good cause. The AC you get from worn armor is subject to a sub cap, so no matter how much AC you may be wearing, adding in spell AC should always help... right?

Did you say HP cap? No no no, don't take HP buffs, they are useless. How many chars really actually die from lack of hp? Its AC that's the killer.

It's pretty safe to say HP buffs, regen, and mana regen are most useful for lowbies. AC is useless. :D

I never forced you to write in a thread I created, just shows you lack any self control or discipline when you have to follow me around with insults. Signs of a real lack of self esteem.

TBH I feel more pity for you than anything. :(

Grab hold of others coattails, and try to band up with other detractors as you always do, it just humors me and shows me how weak you are. :)

[katrik]

Thankfully, OP, we have the right to tell folks to piss off. Playing bard or wizzy is much more enjoyable because I’m not begged for buffs 24/7. Play the game your way and I’ll play it mine.

you are the one being a nuisance in this situation. not him

Sometimes man, when you get upset you just got to post these things.

Anytime any of you guys need a buff, let me know. I will buff you free of charge!

Looks like you're trying to ruing this bozo's reputation because he didn't buff you. Don't harass people with intimidating threads.

You have an array of high level toons, you've been on the server for ages, and you send a tell to some bum that is minding his own business in EC looking for a clarity, and when he doesn't give it to you, you get angry and try to ruin his reputation on P99 by making this.

The best-case scenario for this thread when you posted it would be that the public unanimously denounces this poor guy? Would that be a badge of honor for you?

You shouldn't bully people, it's wrong.

[Shrubwise]

Lhancelot’s a mean bully. He tries to disguise it with the most passive aggressiveness I have personally ever witnessed, but deep down he’s a big ol’ bully like the kid in 8th grade who called me Cheeseball.

Although I did laugh at OP screenshot, guy seemed all bent out of shape that he was going to have to open his spell book to memorize Clarity. Why don’t you respect his time, Lhance? His time is valuable.

[Lhancelot]

Here comes the mob of nerds. Bring it on then.

If I wanted to bully someone, I'd find better ways to do it than point out some ridiculous situation in a game involving a buff.

Really this was just to point out how silly people can be; you can determine whether I am silly or he is.

I don't really care, because what it will boil down to is people's perceptions being different regarding this situation in the game.

Thanks for sharing your opinion though, and your concern. Really is heartwarming. :)

[Argh]

One is a little hypersensitive--or maybe the dude was just frustrated--but he's newer and values his time.

The other is a longtime veteran that tried to ruin the reputation of someone who wouldn't give him a clarity.

Finally, someone calling it for what it is. Lhance is a bully. He sits there acting like he's all high and mighty with his white knight bullshit, but in reality he just likes having an excuse to be a dick to people.

The guy in this thread did nothing wrong, but here goes Lhance "I think I'll put this guy on blast for not giving me a buff because wah."

[katrik]

Dude, it is a little trashy to come here and make a thread defaming some guy that told you no to a clarity. Just saying. If you come here, you better have some good dirt, or you’re gonna get rekt.

So, you found the SS humorous as it was to me, you seen the ridiculousness of it just as I did, but because I posted the SS I am a bully. Worst bully you ever witnessed, in fact.

The SS can be taken two ways, either like us it will be viewed as ridiculous the guy didn't want to cast Clarity, whether it was due to lack of a money tip or time it takes to do it OR it will be viewed as self-entitling on my part for thinking he ought to just cast a clarity on me.

@Argh, you are just being facetious with your posts. You know just as well as I do that no one's reputation is getting ruined because they didn't want to cast a Clarity, rofl.

Entertaining that you have people hopping on this bandwagon of thought though, I have to admit.

[Lhancelot]

The fact some of you think I created this to defame or hurt his server reputation is hilarious, and shows that you probably take things here far more seriously than I do.

I guess I really should be more careful what I post in RnF, I hate seeing how intimidated and how threatened people feel by such a seriously incriminating thread.

Maybe next thread I create will be showing someone that refused to port me or maybe a thread showing someone that trained me and then raged at me!

So watch your steps nerds.

Train me, don't port me, don't give me a C, don't say thanks when I buff you, the list never ends!

I will create a thread and ruin your reputation. I will bully you. I will defame you if you do any of these things. You have been warned! :rolleyes:

Ok, now we talking logically. Don't make this out as if it's something it's not.

I never said the guy was bad, never called him a name, only said what he did was asinine whereas you call it "rude."

Hardly a bullying thread and all this other bullshit my fan base has decided to rummage up and sell.

I posted it understanding it can be taken either way and it's not a serious deal either way, hence the manner in which I posted it.

Basically a bunch of nerds that hate me manufactured a narrative out of a post that really was harmless, but you guys can spin it however you want to if that's what you want to do.

@Shrubwise, sorry you got called "Cheeseball" in H.S. or wherever it was, hope you find a way to overcome the trauma that may have caused.

This is 1 person and they clearly have their own issues because you asked perfectly nicely. Whenever my chanter gets asked for clarity I throw it at someone no questions asked. (at least when I’m sitting in tunnel) This particular player is a rare case as I’m sure you know.

[Nagoya]

Let people play how they want to play the game.
Maybe you suck at asking.
Your mission was to get Clarity. You failed.

Change title to "What a 40+ enchanter has to go through to walk through EC."

[wagorf]

Those who expect some form of "respect" or "appreciation" FROM A LOW LEVEL for a buff as simple as clarity, think of themselves as some high class citizen.

You do not have a higher social status.
You do not deserve special respect or shout out.
You are not more successful than other players.
You just log in more hours.

Asking politely is enough. Anything more is purely your epeen.

[Oscillate]

I still never care giving C/C2/Haste and I never will. I load C, C2, and high level and low level haste, when I go into EC or OT ramp, etc, just to buff players as they want. If you ever see me, don't feel shy to ask for buffs. The name is Mobbaby. :D

Not to rag on Rohk, I know him and he seems like a cool dude, but just saying I don't mind, but if I did, I would rather /anon flag or just /afk flag. Better than replying like this, IMO.

[NegaStoat]

Rohk was stupid for taking it upon himself to explain why he wasn't giving free buffs when the topic was already finished with the "gibs me C -- no -- okay thanks anyway" chain. It was like he became an excited kid to trip over his ego to charge into school teacher mode to give someone a life lesson.

OP wants to shame him which I guess is fine except this isn't something nearly as cool as a ninja loot, game exploit police work, or even a malicious train killing and camp theft for bringing it to the forum. It's just petty. It's just a -- "Hey guys! I found someone with questionable social skills that I just now interacted with!"

It's P1999. The orcs claiming that we're an affront to all that they stand for constantly reminds the players that even the game knows what they're dealing with when it comes to players and social skills.

[Zal22]

Just Lhance wanting the attention he so craves.

This is not news or even remotely newsworthy.

Name and shame huh? Shame on OP.

Also, this is classic behavior, so I very much approve. The elitism is really going to shine on a new server if we ever get Green. High levels belittling and demeaning the lower caste is what made EQ so great. The dream of no drop loot and shiny epics... Only to be spit on by those who have them and told you will never be as good as them. Classic

I remember people actually getting mad at me for trying to inspect them without asking. Like Asperger-thumb-in-the-ass mad. On Fennin Ro at least it was very much custom to ask someone if it was OK to inspect, and many times they would say 'no'. Asking for buffs was at best a 50/50 proposition that most times ended in some variation of "get fuk'd"

Hehe

[Sloshed]

First off I have a 60 druid so I know the pain of being asked to port and buff constantly but someone sends you a tell for clarity which is a spell I'm sure you keep memmed and its literally 1 button to target person who sent you a tell and 1 button to cast said spell. 2 clicks and your done and it took way more keystrokes to type out that diatribe.

if you don't permanently have sow or clarity mem'd

you suck

[fastboy21]

If you don't feel like buffing people in the tunnel just don't respond. Most will just assume you're afk anyways.

Telling someone "respect me" if you want a buff is asshattery though. Its a fucking video game, get a life. You aren't actually a powerful enchanter or shaman. You're a fool with an identity complex if you actually get offended by some peasant not giving you the hat honor you think you deserve.

That's my perspective too. ^

But w/e, as many have said it is his game he can do that if he wants. I will never ask him for a buff again.

If he ever needs help, I will help him though. I don't hold grudges. I always think if you try to be helpful or kind even to curmudgeons like this fellow it could change how they interact with the next person.

[plasma1010]

good god lhancelot you're a fucking loser..

Are you guys going to fight in every thread ?

Go meet up in front of the tunnel in EC, announce publically that this is the duel to end all duels, and fight to the death.

The dude chases me around the forums after everything I post along with about 4-5 of his pals. I'm the bully though. :)

Clearly they are obsessed with me if you check their posts they add nothing except insulting posts on the forums to what I post any chance they get.

It's so obvious anyone jumping on their bandwagon are just as sad as they are. just mark my words, and watch.

[skarlorn]

You're mistaking a bandwagon for people who have grown to genuinely dislike you. Yikes!

[lctucker2999]

Sometimes when I'm sitting in EC I go around jbootsing noobs but no one ever says thank you at me.

[kotton05]

Tell me where you get this targetable jboots

[skarlorn]

They are called traveller's boots and you buy them from the think bag gnome

[kotton05]

Shits targetable tho?!!! Under rated then

[lctucker2999]

Tell me where you get this targetable jboots
Are you telling me that I've spent hours thinking I was helping people but really I was just casting it on myself the whole time? wtf man they should tell you that it's self only! No wonder no one said thanks at me.

[skarlorn]

Actually idk

[mattydef]

I feel like everyone is too busy trying to get jabs in on Lhancelot and are ignoring the bigger picture here. I'm not defending OP or debating his forum quest skills but that enchanter in the screenshot is making the p99 community look bad. It's not like he ignored the buff request or even just said no, that's one thing. He decided he needed to be compensated because how dare a lowly peon ask him for buffs?!

[skarlorn]

there are almost no lowly peons on p99. Your 3rd, 4th, or 9th alt is not a noob, new toon, or lowly peon. They are royal heirs. It's no thing to toss someone 5 or 10pp for a quick buff that's going to expedite your xp grind by a good margin.

This is one of the most ignorant posts I've seen in a while. Yea, there are barely any new players, it's just a constant recycle of veterans rerolling over and over. Don't be an idiot.

[skarlorn]

provide evidence and i'll change my opinion that p99 is largely populated by veteran players

[fastboy21]

Eehhhh. Its not all people playing alts, but I'd say you can conservatively expect 80% of players you meet in a KC pug to be alts of folks with at least 1-2 lvl 60 toons on p99.

[mattydef]

So because you believe that all low level characters are alts to veteran players I have to provide evidence that they're actually new? Seems a little backwards.

[Raavak]

I'd be curious to see how many new players are out there. I know there are some from posts here and talking to people in game (someone even asked fairly basic questions the other night, was kind of refreshing in a way). Its got to be less than 10% though,

[mattydef]

You and I must have a very different definition of what a new player is then. I guarantee that percentage is way higher if you're talking about people leveling up their first character still.

[skarlorn]

Matty, first of all I said there are "almost no." This means that I believe the majority of new toons to be alts of vets. Then you went to call me an idiot and ignorant because of the opinion I have formed while playing p99 off and on since Jan 2013. I can appreciate that I might be wrong and so I'm earnestly asking for even a modicum of evidence that there is significant playerbase of new folks.

Until you are can provide some semblance of proof to back up your claim, you're at least as ignorant and idiotic as I am for having an opinion.

I really wish I didn't have to spell it out for you like that.

[Gozuk]

There's plenty of new people on the server. Not every single person who starts fresh makes a post in the starting zone either.

Also keep in mind that not everybody has made P99 their life. There's many players who are not new to the server but are definitely low level, broke, and would benefit from some buffs. It's fine if this dude didn't feel like buffing him but he needs to chill and stop taking himself so serious

[mattydef]

You honestly think there are almost no new level players? That every single character level 15 (or whatever number you want to use) is just another alt? I'm trying to understand your point of view but I find that hard to believe. I get there are a lot of rerolled alts, maybe even the majority are high level people, but to say almost none are new players is ridiculous.

[skarlorn]

k great thx

[Rivera]

I know there are some from posts here and talking to people in game (someone even asked fairly basic questions the other night, was kind of refreshing in a way). Its got to be less than 10% though, i don't think so, on alts i've met tons of people who at the very least claimed they were fresh, and their periodic questions back this claim up..

particularly in unrest/kurns/mistmoore/crushbone

[skarlorn]

i stand corrected. Thank you for your contribution, Greyworm shoves spyder back inside the closet until he and his autistic art are needed again

TLDR – The plebs constantly roll alts and stay under level 50 and never accumulate any kind of wealth and the sick rise to 60

Everything you wrote was pretty spot on imo, the only thing is the real grind don't happen till 54-55.

I see plenty of 50-54s, and usually those guys make alts, and do have funds to gear them because you can accrue plats on these toons at 50-54 lvl.

You right though, the real sickos are the ones rocking the 6-8 lvl 60s and the 2-3 accounts. I have one great friend that is one of those sickos. :(

[Raavak]

Aren't Snackum's alts all lvl 60 on the same account? Like the whole account is full. Snack may be sick, but he's a pretty cool dude.

snackies is a great paradox. we must love him deeply for being so cool and normal yet also a total fucking EQ nerd.

[Expediency]

I'll be happy to pass out PotG when I reach 60 as well, only because I know what a boon it can be to any class. My DAP mates seem to pass it out like hotcakes some days, which I am eternally thankful for.



You can get stuck casting POTG all day if you're not careful. Its not like sow where you can click all day and not even notice the mana.

PoTG is 1200 mana or so, which is about 40% of your mana pool with decent equipment. Even at a max typical buffed med rate (mask + potg + c2) that works out to sitting over two minutes for every cast. People will tip you 20pp or less, not even close to worth it. To top it off, a good 5%-10% of players will request the buff even if they already have a cleric HP buff, so potg wont hold.

[Lhancelot]

Having 10 level 60s doesn't mean sh!t on P99 because of Chardok. Level a toon to 46 and within like 48 hours you could have that character level 60.

People that never saw Chardok don't realize how broken it was. It was an alt puppy mill that churned out hundreds, if not thousands of level 60 players.

Without leashing you could basically bug the zone into training 150+ creatures to the entrance where they would get chain stunned and AoE'd by out-of-group Wizards/Chanters who would gate at 20% mob life while an ingroup wizard would finish the job. This resulted in 1 group getting XP for 150 creatures every 25minuts of so. Could gain entire levels 50+ within an hour and at worst within a couple of hours.

I think at 59 you would gain like 2.5 blue bubs per pull. That's just retarded if you have ever tried to grind 59 naturally.

Just more proof I will never have a lvl 60 on p99.

[skarlorn]

i'm so glad chardok was around to help me ding 60 on filbus.

[kb2005]

Did you say HP cap? No no no, don't take HP buffs, they are useless.

They can make CH more efficient.

[Maxed]

Ironically, I had just spent the last 3 hours making banded armor and buffing tunnel lowbies on my druid prior to logging on my lvl 5 necro to XP a little bit before bed.

Big shout out to Bouffalo who sowed and gave regens to anyone who asked and didn't turn into a melted puddle of dumb. :mad:

Also, if sitting on the tunnel floor is "busy," then yes this caster was really busy.

I'm Bouff , you are most welcome. I try to pitch in and help here and there, as many of the good people on P99 have done to me as well.

[plasma1010]

run along back to your own backfire thread.



At least I only have ONE backfire thread, you've got like half the forum.

Heya man. Thanks for being helpful to the lowbies even though you do get bombarded by tells for buffs especially when in the tunnel.

It's appreciated, even by veterans like myself on a newly created alt lowbie. :)

[Csihar]

I agree with OP. I wouldn't have included the guy's name though.

Only thing that bothers me about people asking me for buffs is

1) Lazy requests (ie: Sow plz dude)
2) Not saying thank you afterwards or a lazy thank you such as 'tnx'. Too much effort to write out 'thanks'?

[Csihar]

People have a right to decline, obviously. It's about the way that he did it. Sounded like a stern lecture given by a guy with a stick up his anus.
