It wasn't just changed for PvP.. The ongoing goal of this server is to make it as classic as possible. Whether or not you want to hear that argument that much is true. Over time they are learning how to remove these features that they have wanted removed since the beginning.

Disabling target rings is basically a "fuck you" to newer, low level players. All the level 60s had the benefit of going to sleep during fucking boring, mindless exp grind groups, but now new players on the server don't have this benefit? Sure you've got your stupid club as big as you want it, I guess.
Also, this is an imbalanced nerf to short melees (dwarves, gnomes, and halflings). We have to look up at flashing names now.

You are completely exaggerating the effects of this. They are a convenience and were nice to have. However if you really can't play just as well without them your a bad player simple as that. Especially if your a melee like your post implies this has the least effect on you. I mean honestly if your clicking the mob right in front of you most likely it's targeted. Maybe you guys tab target for everything? Anyone who targets with their mouse and is paying even slight attention to whats going on should not be affected by this.
It's certainly not worth the amount of crying going on in this thread. I mean really why don't you guys enjoy the game and learn how to play without them instead of crying to your gods to change it back. |
It's not a matter of being any good or not, it's whether I can surf the web or watch TV while being in a boring-ass exp grind group that is going to put me to sleep if that's the only thing I'm doing.

Tank targets mob of his choice (any mob, really, though they can often assist puller and have plenty of time to make a choice w/o target ring)
DPS assists tank
Enchanter assists tank and then tab -> mez -> tab -> mez pretty much everything assume aoe mez is not needed (and thats when shits usually going pretty badly :P)
Who is actually using the target rings to see who they're targeted on outside of large scale pvp? really?

The benefit of the ring is what I described above: being able to pay as little attention to the game as possible. With the target ring, I get a large visual confirmation that the thing is in front of me and I am probably hitting it. Even if I assist the tank, the thing might run off for a caster while I'm checking my email. If the giant ring disappears from the EQ window, it's pretty easy to tell. Now I have to check my combat log or look for flashing names, which requires more attention.
The point is not whether slagging-off and surfing the web in an exp group is a good thing to do or whether the player is bad. The point is that everyone that has been playing on this server for the past few years has had this crutch to use for whatever they need it for (watching porn while playing EQ, being the worst EQ player ever) to get to where they are now. However, now I am being told that I can't chat and DJ on turntable.fm in order to stay awake while grinding Sol A at 3am. I guess I won't. I guess I'll go to sleep, never level up, and the admins and their buddies can hope that none of their level 60 club ever quits because there isn't going to be anyone to replace them.
