This thread reminds me of this guy who was playing shaman that joined my guild after playing EQ for the first time on Project 1999 in the Summer of 2024. They did "research" into the most effective ways to do combat as a shaman - including scouring these very forums for "info" about how the game mechanics work.
They spent the next 6 months arguing with everybody they came into contact with about the "most efficient" way to solo as a shaman. I found myself trapped in a loop with them - they always said, with confidence, things that contradicted my first-hand experience (having levelled 3 shaman to 60 on P99 Green since 2021).
This rubbed me, and others the wrong way - so I just put them on /ignore after a few weeks seeing various arguments others (and myself) would have in /guild with them. The general consensus around the person was that they were a know-it-all that refused to ever admit fault in their logic, and furthermore: this guy was a fool for trying to tell people who have been playing P99 regularly for years that their first-hand experience was invalid.
Guy quit p99 before the calendar dinged 2025, but in a short time he really made a name for himself as a jackass.
