wow gona agree with sam what a fucking cry baby

maybe you are just pissed you arent getting the powerlevel , go to a diff zone or shut the fuck up

Also, for those crying anti-PL: In classic when you claimed main room in unrest, that's all you got. 4 fucking ghouls. Brewer was separate, halls were usually free for all, side and back doors were all separate "camps". Now! If you claim main room on P99 you have the whole first floor. If someone came into your legit group area and said they're gonna take brewer, you'd blow a fuse! So rethink the way you claim pixels before calling PLers mob hogs

Just a little over reaction don't you think. I think how the OP is feeling most of us has felt at some point or another. If you never were annoyed by this, then you are in the minority.

So basically you are making the case that people should play whichever way makes them the happiest, that is the most fun for them.

Do you not see the hilarious hypocrisy involved in then telling them that they have to play it exactly the way that you do and no other way?

You have stepped right into it, like about 50 others before you.

Cool story bro, I'm happy you had/have the fortitude and time to max-level multiple characters throughout your EQ career. I have too ! the fact is, 12 years later, I could care less about the 'leveling experience' 'the path to 60' or whatever other bullshit people want to claim. I've done it enough already and so have many other people. Some people didn't have a chance to experience raiding or end game content and would rather power level through the earlier ones to meet their expectations.

Protip: 12 year old content isn't challenging.

Protip: 12 year old content gets more challenging because of complete information. Everyone knows the rules. Efficiency.

Chess is 500 years old and never gets old. It constantly reinvents itself for the same reason. It's the premise of game theory.

I wanted to go hunt najena with a friend. I am 16, she is 14. Instead a level 50+ is getting paid 2k an hour and pulling every named and mob he can past us as we watch his level 10 friend level.

As an of-level group, we can't really get anything going, as the mobs we want are down, and when they pop, we might get 1 or 2 while the Pler pulls everything past us. If we try and go deeper for pulls, entire rooms spawn on the puller on his way back.

I'd argue that PLing is WAY worse for the game than 2 boxing (though I hate that also).

I propose a modification that makes it impossible for a character to gain XP from any mob more than double their level - regardless of how the kill is made.

We want a classic EQ experience, or a race to dominate spawns at 60 - screwing the population that wants to fight of-level dungeons?

Why not make a thread like "Say no to dragons"

Why should people be allowed to kill dragons? There are other games where people dont kill dragons, why should people be allowed to kill dragons in EQ then?

Cuz its EQ buddy

its EQ

I love the replies that are negative. They state no facts or debatable points.

Just swear words and name calling. That pretty much sums up the validity of their opinions. I'm done with this debate, my point was made and those who actually think gave lucid replies, one way or the other. I respect both. But there is no point arguing with someone who cannot or is unwilling to debate using reason, rather they stoop to name calling.
