I dont ever remember using petition in original EQ

[wrxBRAH]

Part of the game was dealing with douche bags and learning to ignore them or blacklist them. I dont ever remember GMs getting involved in any minor camp/harrasment/trade ripoff type of issues.

The only time I ever saw GMs getting involved was when guilds would fight over raid mobs and leapfrog each other but that mostly happened in Velious.

So why are there so many people qqing on the forums here. Just because you enjoyed your classic EQ one way doesnt mean everyone did. Some thick skin would go a long ways imo. Thats my rant for the day.

What you see a lot here are people who were nubs back in the day, wanting to live out their fantasy of what "could have been" if they were in the leet guilds.

Now you see those people getting butt-hurt over this stuff because they never dealt with it back in the day and dont understand that it has always, always been part of eq. Sometimes i think the gm's here suffer from that plight a bit as well because like you said...gms just didnt get involved like this at all.

Yea it does seem pretty carebear at times even for a PvE server.

P99 has a horrible community, you're just discovering it.

[Eternal-Elf]

I don't think the community is horrible here......however you do have those that stand out and fuck things up for the rest of us.
And yes there are alot of titty whiners here, trying to suckle on anything they can latch on to.

P99's community isn't horrible. Its fuckhats, however, are the combined force of every server's most retarded mouth-breather.

[Eternal-Elf]

bahaha

P99's community is fine, IMO. Pretty similar to what EQ live was like.

I agree with the OP that GMs are far too involved on this server. For 99% of the issues that GMs currently intervene on, they should tell the petitioners to go have a Coke and a smile. GMs should only be intervening in the case of exploits or repeat, extensive harassment.

You've been camping this mob for 36 hours but Guild_B engaged first? Sucks to be you, work on mobilization. Your group-mate ninja looted the Thick Banded Belt and /q'd? Sucks to be you, don't ever group with him again. You asked your friend to transfer 40k for you and he disappeared? Sucks to be you, be careful who you trust. You got trained by Rinna 6 times in 20 minutes? Sh*t *****, stop whining and start moving. Basically, EverQuest was made out of a whole lot of "Sucks to be you" scenarios. You'll notice that this has a striking resemblance to real life. This is not a coincidence. What made the game great was that nobody held your hand and nobody wiped your tears.

I do suppose the baby wipes could get put away......but then 9/10's of the server would have chapped smelly ass.

This may be completely off base so correct me if I'm wrong.....but doesn't anyone else kinda feel like BECAUSE this game is so old, the people that are playing it now feel in some way they DESERVE to whine all the time and get their way because they put so much of their wasted lives in to the LIVE servers?
/petition Someone just stole the orc cent I was killing in CB. I demand you guys re-issue me the EXP I lost from this devastating KS and perma-ban the player that KS'd me.
I deserve this because I played live for 8 years and wasted 1000's of dollars on this game.

Anyone else agree? Or am I way off

Actually, you pretty much nailed it right on the head.
