What is the point?

[Slathar]

So you've decided to play Everquest, congratulations. You level up and obtain more powerful items. What is the purpose? The purpose of better items is so you may obtain even better items in a more efficient way in the future. The whole purpose is a built upon an endless cycle of pointlessness.

Imagine how much further along you'd be in your financial goals or all of the time you could have spent learning a new language. Think about how much more fit you could have been. Instead, you spent all of this time as a level 38 Troll Shadowknight looking for a group in Lower Guk or answering text messages at 4:00AM to help out some unemployed slob you've never actually met nor will ever meet in real life.

Think about this next time you log in. Or don't.

You sound mad that you're still terrible at a game.

Entertainment doesn't need a "purpose." Retard

You have more posts than me.

[Thulack]

He's right though. EQ serves no purpose other then to waste time and get away from real life. It's like raiding. If you can kill things in group gear then whats the point in raiding. And yes i'm sure i'll get the response of well it lets you kill quicker. Grats on being able to get to 60 quicker and then making a new alt cause there is nothing left to do.

The alternative, of course, is to rack up 500+ posts in the one section of an online forum where it doesn't even bump your post count, raging at people who don't impact me for enjoying a game.

That's probably the better way to become spiritually fulfilled.

[deathgirl]

I felt that way when I started playing, and even moreso when the people I played with didn't play for fun but to win, but then I remembered that life is meaningless and humanity is doomed :rolleyes:

Yeah, a 1 minute post is equivalent to playing Everquest 16 hours a day. Nice signature.

It was a nice way to defend your psychotic time investment in video games, though.

[Sickle]

What is the point of any video game for that matter then...

Yeah, because financial goals are totally the most important thing in life. You sound like some pre-programmed consumer drone little BITCH! Obviously you can't think for your self at all. Go smother yourself in single serving packets of ketchup while waiting for McRib to come back....

As far as being an unemployed SK in shitty ass GukBottom LFG @ 4 AM.....

You need to get some pals in the game bro. I'm not thinking about shit you've just said after this moment. I hate you.

Butthurt pussy doesn't post who he is so no one knows how much he plays.

I bet the troll in that picture gets laid a lot more than the OP.

Slather was a guildless 50 halfling Druid in full verm, has the same face as Hassel. Have not seen that char in game during kunark but I sure as hell was not looking. How many days do you have played on your druid ?

...Anyone else disappointed this wasn't a suicide thread? I mean, the title does read that way...

[deathgirl]

hi heallun :)
I often want to kill myself, being dg and all. even tried a buncha times but called myself in cause I was just a kid and scared witless of ending up like a squab :rolleyes: now I just restrict my angst to non-drug related self-destructive practices, such as making anti-social posts like this on the internet :)

I carry printed out wallet size pics of my toon with me everywhere I go. I show them off like they were my child

I feel as though if someone is coming onto the forums for a game that he says is a waste of time.....there is something seriously wrong with that picture.
This game is fun....whether you play it 30-45 mins a day like me....or 16 hours a day like some do.
Don't have to let the game control you lol, just fun to get on and play sometimes.

Please pretend that "financial" growth is more relevant. Wasting countless hours kissing the asses of those to get promotion to get more monies to spend on things like jet skis lol.

[Fourthmeal]

Someone needs to learn how to think outside the bun

[dude]

What a fucken kill-joy.

1. got trained and lost level
2. got ganked on is/her own and lost level
or
3. couldn't get a group in Lguk and lost a level.

The dude says 3 is the best choice, and you should grow the fuck up.

[returnofahipster]

i completely agreed with OP.
that is untill red 1999 came on the list.
if this is some sadistic joke im going to be pissed.

[Supreme]

You play the game to see the content and accomplish the objectives.

However once you have done that..it quickly becomes a killjoy.

[Harrison]

What is the point of reading a book you've already read? You know the outcome.

That is the same exact thing as playing here. Entertainment.

The only people attempting to make points that detract from it, are people who suck at it. I.E. Slathar, Bronson, and noname trolls.

[Barkingturtle]

In essence, all entertainment is just escapism necessitated by our relentlessly redundant lives. Humans just live too fucking long these days; let's face it. That said, choosing EQ to compensate for the dullness of existence is what can only be described as: ironing.

[Humerox]

i see what u did there

[Rhambuk]

Slatahr speaking truth.


What a genius.
