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.
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.

Sounds like you would rather be doing something else than actually playing the game. Why are you playing? I am sure you are a joy to have in a group ...
