It's not against the core of EQ in the least. Exactly the opposite.

The way people play Red99 is against the core of EQ. The game is supposed to be about adventure, danger, teamwork, and SKILL. All of that gets removed when you just zerg.

What I propose would help to bring back exactly what the game is supposed to be about.



Yes, but many of those games are not the epitome of skill (nor fun) in gaming. They are just the most POPULAR.

Magic the Gathering is far better than Hearthstone, for example. Hearthstone simply has a better online interface and is easier to play, hence why it is doing well.

The same thing can be said about League of Legends. It is the #1 game on that list, but it is far below other games in terms of skill and how rewarding team-based gameplay can potentially be.



A dumb statement.

If a game with a low skill cap requires very little monetary investment and gives people a chance at winning money, then there will be people who play it "professionally".

Playing slots requires significant investment, generally, and also has no skill involved at all. You can't compare a no-skill game (aka, lottery) to a low or mid-skill game. Also, just because a game requires some amount of skill doesn't mean it is a great game.

There is additionally the aspect of time investment. Some low-skill games require a huge time investment to become "elite" (that's what p99 is, currently).

Disagree with every single thing you just said, just gonna leave it alone.
