low effort meme

0/10 please try again

[Castle2.0]

These 2 types of losers deserve each other, lol. Comical.

You are the meme. That can be funny, if that was your intent. That's my main schtick.. but you.. you are the meme and you DON'T know it...\

I won EQ before Velious released the first time, so I don't really have a dog in this popsicle stand. ToV is awful. It's Vex Thal Lite. Thinking about doing that regularly along with other real serious gamer obligations make me wanna take a shower. I feel bad for people who felt like they needed to acquire end game stuff, but I guess those Primals are really important in Luclin. See you on the moon fellas.

[Rager and Quitter]

I'll do you one better. I don't even know what the ST key is, and I don't care enough to look it up. I'm happy playing my level 20 characters in Unrest or wherever.

[Trexller]

in all of these gay ass memes, the chad character is always portrayed as a rubbery disjointed inhuman creature with movements like jim carrey in ace ventura

why is this?

[Prismaticshop]

Cecily didnt win eq

She was kicked from every guild on blue before velious release and had an incompletely geared average rogue when she quit

full ToV took no more than a couple of hours last quake, do you shower every 3 hours.

That'd be reasonable if it weren't for the prep time and you could schedule the thing. It's a lie to call it no more than a couple of hours given how EQ is actually played. But you need to delude yourself to rationalize the sickness.

What? I was TMO a year into Velious. I don't know if Dain ring and Claw of Lightning (30 dkp) was average when Rustle dissolved, but I sure AF didn't put any effort into attaining those things.

Now what I did put effort into was that SoW Katana back in like.. 2014? That thing and high elf mask were my only goals. I won. Sorry you didn't.

Not sure which is funnier. Having an end game rogue on a time locked server (+10% over EC tunnel rogue with epic), or that a transphobe Frenchie is still talking shit to me years later because he has an end game rogue on a time locked server.

Having best in slot gear makes sense when it means you can fight other players more effectively.

Having best in slot gear makes little sense when the PVE content is already fully steam rollable and it's only for magelo pride (can't do anything with it)

But I don't complain about it. The meme seems stupid though.

It's very odd when you actually think about it. All the PvE content is doable with very minimal gear. Yet people dedicate ENORMOUS time effort and energy (even resorting to scripts/cheats as we've seen) to acquiring gear that makes them marginally better at killing the same shit they killed every week for the past bajillion weeks. People make jokes and all but it's almost as if people care more about "winning" and making sure the other guild doesn't get kills than anything else.

I think I'd like to play a zelda the 2nd quest type thing where all the loot is redistributed for another server reset. It'd create at least a period of confusion and curiosity for the first few months of each expansion at least.

This.

I never understood why the competition for gear matters so much in a purely PvE game. You spend time earning pixels that let you kill NPCs slightly faster.

If this game had any sort of PvP, even Battlegrounds, I could see why monopolizing endgame gear would be important. But the MMORPGs that successfully combine PvE and PvP, like Elder Scrolls Online, also feature instancing where no guild or team can monopolize content.

So why is it so important on P99? Bragging rights? Can you even brag about gear on a private emulated server of a 23 year old game where you can't even use it vs another player?

I don’t raid or even play anymore, but the only thing I could think of would be to attempt to succeed at some encounter with fewer than normal people. Then gear could matter

In retail WoW from what I’ve heard of the raid scene you not only need top tier gear for the highest level mythic raids, but if you are trying to be one of the first to do those, you need to employ something called “gear funneling”. This is where you take one of your main raiders, put them in a slightly lower tier raid with a bunch of your backup raiders of the same gear type (cloth, plate, etc), then those backup raiders funnel all their drops to that main raider. This means the most competitive guilds have entire squads of players whose entire job is to gear the actual main raiders. Sort of like how pro sports teams have staff who’s entire job is just to practice with them but not play any actual games
