Ok, I should have qualified my statement a bit more: there is some strategy/tech discussion here also; it's not pure back-patting. And I do respect strategy/tech discussion!
But at the same time, I respect "cheat discussion" the least out of all such talk. It's like talking about the cool new technique you found to press UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A B A START extra quickly. Like yes, it is cool, and yes, it is part of playing Contra ... but compared to discussions about how to jump better, or how to shoot better, or how to play the game without cheats better ... talking about how to best use a cheat (that the devs deliberately left in the game for you to use to make the game easier) is in my book the lowest form of "theorycrafting".
You're welcome to disagree that manastones are similar to the Konami code, but as deliberate dev-introduced "ways to make the game easier than intended" they seem fairly analogous to me. Even so though, I do have significantly more respect for Castle posting about his clever trick than for the majority of posts here. It is clever and it is theorycrafting.

Root nets recharged, ever use those? Cheater.
In fact you ever recharge anything? Cheater.
Get agro with a clicky? Cheater.
Cani dance? Cheater.
Corpse a no rent item? Cheater!
Click an item from your inventory not intended for your class? Cheater.
Kite a mob? Cheater. (was an exploit never even known about until launch)
Aoe a mob with a bard? cheater.
Heal on rez? Cheater.
Call of hero to pull a mob? Cheater.
Kill, the unkillable? GODS AMONG MEN?! (nope, cheaters).
Wearing lustrous russet armor? Cheater lol!
Everything in everquest is cheating, that's what makes it so great, its not cookie cutter! You can have an entierly different, and equally challanaing experience after playing this game for 20 years! That's because of exploits!
I play because of the cool tricks grand masters did when I was a kid. And 20 years later now I have the time, and the opportunity to try them!
It's the most realistic simmulator a game has ever created, it's just like real life, know how to flip a house? Great you'll be rich! Don't? Oh well, watch people get rich while you struggle farming wisps!
I find it really annoying you always say this in every thread that is about an amazing mechanic disocvered by a grand master at everquest, posted by a new grand master at everquest...
...while you would spend all your free time, filling out guides so people can
cheat their way to 60 without experiencing everquest, discovering, or learning anything on their own.
There is nothing more cheater, than reading about how to spawn a mob, where to find an item and where to exp and make plat at the same time, from a guide. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Edit: but that said, (again I know I've said most of it to you before) thank you for giving castle the praise he deserves, because he's making classic everquest happen!
