I don't buy that argument Jibartik. Wanna know why? Because our soft hand held asses didn't figure any of this shit out. The real paying players did back then the hard way. They had 10x more skill than any of us. "Live players just weren't doing it right" is a BS argument. They are the ones that paved the way for what we do here. Thousands and thousands of brains is better than a few thousands +some time added. We just use recycled cheese sauce. We didn't pioneer the recipe.

I always think it's surreal when people just try to convince themselves that players 20 years ago were bad. It was the other way around. You didn't just join a group and go AFK. Mother fuckers would straight up kick your ass out, and even if you joined a group and didn't go AFK, people would invite other players who had better gear than you (especially if you were a melee) or invite other players who were flat out better than you are.
Being a good puller was a huge fucking deal in a version of the game where pull stealing was completely legal and common practice. A good puller meant the difference between having unlimited mobs and not having enough mobs. On P99 over 75% of melees are too pussified and scared to pull.
Real Everquest had millions of people playing it and competing against each other. You ended up with the best players at the top.
P99 = a bunch of low functioning people who likely only play this game because it's F2P and literally the least ambitious and skilled players of anyone I've ever met in an online gaming community.
Like on TLP legit 99% of the people I meet play OverWatch, Apex Legends, Valheim, League of Legends, and even The Burning Crusade etc. I doubt very seriously any of these P99 boomers could play any of those games due to the speed and mechanical skill involved.
