[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

I started my first character on Green back in.... November? I didn't want to SSF, so I got a lot of help from old friends from Blue and Red to gear my Ranger. Efficiently soloing ended around level 40, so I've been doing anything from duo's to full-groups since then (57 now).

Solo and Group Enchanters are two different skill-sets. That being said, the number of shitty Enchanters I've seen who can't lock down a multi-pull in an outside zone shocks me still. I don't remember seeing so many mechanically-poor players on Blue or Red. Also knowledge-poor -- half the ones I've grouped with are using super expensive spells (high level mezzes, fascination etc..) for locking down mobs that die in 30 seconds. Then they're always OOM...

I'm convinced 40% of the player-base still uses the default arrow keys to move instead of WASD.

80% of you keyboard-turn and run backwards, directly into mobs and at half-speed, making things worse than if they just used a spell.

I'm positive around 80% of the playerbase uses their mouse for nearly every action, not hot keys. For those that do hot key, it seems a decent amount just do it to locate the button in a more convenient place to be mouse-clicked.

Default Everquest plays like complicated flight sim, if you let it. Play it like any other game, including learning the smaller mechanics and it becomes a lot easier.
