I’m not a genius. I sure know more than I did 25 years ago. I’d love to illustrate how dumb I was 25 years ago but as this is my evolved form…just use your imagination.
By my understanding there are three through-lines of logic here:
1.) The elf sim we pay $0 for is not 100% accurate to the original. There is some evidence to this, like how some mobs are overtuned on p99 (Sontalak) and resists are not nearly as effective (level 60 255Mr vs dragon roar on Faydedar). Loramin is super serious about how Enchanters should be worse so sure, he can have it I guess.
2.) The Bell Curve for performance on p99, Quarm, TAKP, etc is much higher than live 25 years ago. There is some evidence to what we have accomplished at this progression with some non-classic item nerfs or simply the amount of geared/leveled chars we have on average. When you apply heat to something, it refines the final product.
3.). There is a difference of knowledge and technology giving 2025 EQ players a distinct advantage. Duh.
I’m not saying one is true, and others are false. These are all variables at play and outside our control. I’m also dont care if “a class has a distinct advantage” over another (the world isn’t fair) unless we are locked from playing that class by a paywall.
I main a ranger on p99 and despite my many other “better” classes, I would delete them all to keep the one with an inferiority complex. When you aren’t the best, nobody assumes you will be. You have to work harder so there isn’t time to cry about things not being fair. When you do accomplish something remarkable though, you can’t beat that win
