its all relative. if you're an idiot irl then lots of stuff probably seems complicated when it really isn't.
i am very well aware how raiding works on p99...i've been involved in every type of guild on this server since launch. i just disagree about what's complicated. its not the complexity of the rules (almost any idiot can read the rules and understand them---almost any idiot, I realize there are some here that can't/won't read for themselves apparently), but the players that cause the problem.
as for the raid game the rules are pretty simple, its the people that are jerkbags that complicate things, which again was the whole point of my post (resulting in long long threads from folks whining how the game makers ought to be able to stop people from being jerks). the more complicated the rules are reflects the jerks they try to manage. you can't manage jerks, its like herding cats. rules can't make someone stop being a jerk...which is why p99 is so raid-crazy.

As for the AC camp, its a special example because (regardless of the lvl to do it) it is a very important EQ camp. Just about every single player will want a pair of jboots...so the AC (even back on live) was always a hotbed example to talk camp rules. everyone has had an experience with it if they've played EQ. Its not surprising that folks have also been bringing it up here since launch, and posting long threads to discuss it.

I couldn't agree with this more. In the many years I've played on this server, I can't remember a time I read a GM rule and said to myself this is hard to comprehend. It's usually a matter of people simply unwilling to follow them because they don't agree or it just doesn't benefit them at that moment. Self-interest and selfishness is where the rules become "complicated' because people try to bend them to their benefit.
