My last point is this, you could not auction MQ's on live or you would be banned, you could not auc PLing on live or you would be banned, you did not have cell phones because the cell phone did not exist during Kunark(for 90% of people), and on my server we did not farm the dragons w/ 52s. Perhaps you did on your server. Every server was different. There is a gluttony of riches on this server and those who run the mobs/spawns are basically winning the argument and tearing down/shouting down different opinions. That is probably why this EQ is full of greedy people, all the normal people left.
its a fuckin game bro. Everyone wants to win. This game has contested mobs and other things that people race to get. Just like any game, you, and others compete to win and get the prize.

No one disagrees with your ideas of what fun is to you. Its just a fact that p99 isnt your idea of fun. If the majority wanted what you wanted then obviously shit would be different. Nearly all of this stuff existed. MQs always existed, and I never remember anyone getting banned for it. I Pled for plat all the time on live and never got banned. Hell at age 16 i scammed someone for 50k and never got banned. The GMs here are way harder on players here than on live for sure. As for batphones, those may have not existed but I sure as hell had a beeper during kunark/velious to do NtoV and other contested places. So the ability to do the same existed.

EQ is full of people, some even keeled, some are trying to game the system, some are tying to just irritate others. Its an existential representation of real life but with fantasy elements, mostly because it was created by people who existed in real life because last I checked there is no dimensional portal to a fantasy world on earth. If there was earth would be rather vacant.

even though I agree that the state of blue is sad, your arguments suck man. Its just a butthurt yell because you arent part of what you would do if you were at the level of others.
