What are you even talking about? At this point I’m starting to think you’re purposefully trolling because no one could describe EQ that way and actually believe it. Also you don’t seem to know which way you want to argue. Earlier you claimed that no one with responsibilities could play this game. Now you’re saying many people you know have responsibilities and play this game.
Second, there’s almost nothing in this game outside of a select few epic quests that you can’t accomplish even if you’re not in the top guild. Seriously, like almost nothing. Maybe there’s some pieces of equipment that are perma camped that you might like to acquire but none of those things are critical.
Third, simply put it sounds like you don’t like classic EQ. I think you thought you did and then you got back into it and you’re realizing you don’t. That’s fine, go play on a different server then….there are plenty. Coming here and demanding that things change is like going to a pizza place and demanding they serve you Mexican food.

I still agree the vast majority have no responsibilities (60-70%). I can't name the number of people I know retired, unemployed, or on disability that play this game. However I've never described Everquest as "hardcore", rather it's a time sink. You don't need to be particularly intelligent to play well, most of the mechanics are fairly straight forward. With that said I have a lot of friends in the game with family, jobs, and responsibilities that play. They might not get from 1-50 in two weeks like the try-hards, but they play. Something can be more than one thing at the same time. My point was that the argument that these people camping were performing some arduous task only fit for the dedicated try-hard isn't true. A lot of casuals are willing to set a timer and camp a spot if it's something they need or can sell to buy something they need, however they aren't given that opportunity because 3% of the people playing are the uber try-hards that just take those spots 24/7, because this game seems to be their primary responsibility. My suggestion again is to rotate those camps, don't let the same account sit at the same spawn for eternity. Break the hold, break the mold.
