View Full Version : WTF is with everyone having to be anonymous?
Holy hell that shit is so obnoxious. Hmmm, I wonder if lower guk is packed as all hell, let's do a "/who all gukbottom" oh, I see 12 names, maybe it's not too bad, let's go look, oh, there's like 30 people here, sweet. Hmm, maybe I can go try to camp mammoth hide cloak, "/who all permafrost" 0 players, that's a start, let's go take a look. Oh, there's one person here, obviously camping the alchemist. Maybe I can go kill hill giant, I only see 3 people in Rathe Mountains, let's go take a look. Oh, there's like 12 people killing hill giants, sweet. Maybe Gynok in Befallen? I only see a couple level 10s there, let's go take a look. Oh, there's someone camping it, anon of course.
And it's always like fucking rogues and necros and shit that are anon too. Necro, do you REALLY need to be anon?
This is coming from a level 40 druid that has never been anon and will never be anon. Oh noes, people might ask me for ports, and words will appear on my screen! I might have to politely inform them I can't do it at the moment! Or even just not respond if I want to take that route!
If you're anon, I hope you get stuck in a death loop.

I super dislike the fact that they made /who all zone not show anon or role people :\
suks even more when you cant port around to all them places lookin for a camp, only to find the zone held alrdy lol
i agree with other classes besides cleric/druid going /anon or /role i mean wtf for?? maybe they are important or famous or.... maybe they are just douches that have trained/KSed before and are hiding from retailiation :)

I've heard that the raiding guilds require all their members to be /anon or /rp always. Ya know, because it's a big secret when both guilds are jam packed into Sol B.
Not to mention with all the farming in end-game zones, and farmers like to /anon or /rp for whatever reason, just basically consider everything useless, and just travel to where you might want to exp, and maybe you'll get lucky.
Or just play another game =/.

yep, anon/roleplay is stupid and pointless. I don't think people understand that if you are anon/rp then we think you aren't there, which means we go there, and then find that you are there anyway.

What does it matter what it does for him? He likes to do it thats all that should matter. I like to piss in a clockwise motion but I dont feel the need, or need a reason, to explain why I do it.

Fun fact.
Do a /who 'inglourious basterds' or a /who 'dark ascension' and ask around.
You have a 1 in 4 chance of getting someone camping in permafrost.

Role and anon is stupid. When I get a tell from someone I /who them first by habbit. Helps to know lvl class and location of the person for just about every situation. If I ever have to ask where are you its a waste of time. One rez/port tell every 18 min is not something you need to start cutting your wrists over. You are not super cool sunglasses at night guy because we can't see your loc. You are not being watched by the fbi. This is not zek. Stop inconviencing the rest of the server, faggots.

Don't trust this guy he tries to KS with his magical powers! Then reports you for reporting!
Totally changing the subject - someone finally IVU'd you, yes? I have no idea why it took them so long, hah. I finally had to say in group "C'mon guys, someone IVU the guy" while chain pulling and noticed you weren't there when I got back, so I assumed they did.

I use Roleplay to keep the game as classic (see: irritating) as possible. The impression I am getting from the people saying anon/roleplay is a waste of time is that they would like the instant gratification of knowing where everyone is at all times so they may make a decision that would be the most time-efficient for them. Sounds logical and hard to argue when looked at from just that one side.
But that's not what the game is about. For me, and pardon me for speaking for anyone else, but I would imagine a lot of others are on this server because the MMOs today are all about instant gratification and as little challenge and uncomfort as possible. For the sake of example (though I may be wrong since I don't play the game) I hear that in WoW you can "queue" up for any instance from where ever you are and automatically be teleported to that instance, and then returned to where you were upon completion.
What anon/roleplay does, and what the OP and others are complaining about, is the very opposite of what WoW is. If you want to fight in a zone, you have to run there and compete with potentially everyone else on the server. You aren't instantly teleported to your desired location and returned to the bank when you're done. You aren't garunteed that the mobs you want/need to kill are available.
Welcome to Everquest.
It baffles me how anyone who chooses to play on a server that is (mostly) classic Everquest feels the need to complain about... classic Everquest. For me, the annoying things are just as, if not more, fun as the convinient things, because that is what classic Everquest is.
To sum it up:
I /roleplay because I like it, so go fuck yourself.

Can't help but agree with Shan421. EQ classic was designed to not be easy for the player. Regardless, it's sort of ridiculous in a world of magic and fantasy that one can do /who all and find out who is in other parts of the world.
To be honest I'd prefer that they get rid of the ability to do /who all and only be able to see who is in your current zone.

You've got a point about the classic thing and that's your right to do what you want but I personally took my sweet ass time leveling and relived classic and its been great but there comes a time when youve hit a hell level and you're a ranger (or ogre sk) and you have 3 hours a night to play and GODDAMNIT I JUST WANT TO GET XP NOW but can't get any tonight cuz you people dropped a hot smelly roleplaying turd in all my xp zones... fucksakes!

Seriously? This game has like 3-4 good exp zones for levels 30+, if this were an immersive "world of magic and fantasy" you would easily be able to find places where few have ever traveled. The technical/design limitations of this game which cause the crowding problems that exist today seem like they'd be silly in a high fantasy universe... it doesn't seem unreasonable to have a function to tell who is in a zone. /who all should return anon/rp results.

Or we can just realize we are suppose to be emulating classic and go in there and exp anyway, if some lvl 50's butt gets hurt because he may lose his camp to a group of people, oh well.
Let them start banning groups of people then instead of the 5 necros that are whoring all the drops

Most of these necros are there for loot and only loot, hence they'll be killing like 1-3 mobs only. Let him do that and set up group near him and pull the mobs you'd be pulling if you were camping it anyway, he probably won't mind.
People's unwillingness to compromise on this server astounds me.

A necro has as much claim to the nameds as anyone else. These people would be complaining if it was a whole group perma camping a spawn. What they ideally want is a 3 hour limit, you can spend your 3 hours there then you have to move on and let someone else have a bit at the cherry.
Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.

I remember back on live during velious/luclin/pop, our server had 4 guilds that would go anon every night to try and gain an advantage. Triality never did that gay shit. We ended up the top guild rather quickly. Not saying that's why we so good, but only losers feel the need to use anon to get an advantage. Focus less on stealth and more on not sucking.

A rant is a speech or text that does not present a calm argument; rather, it is typically an enthusiastic speech or talk or lecture on an idea, a person or an institution. Compare with a dialectic. In some cases, rants can be based on partial fact or may be entirely factual but written in a comedic/satirical form.
