man that video was hard to watch. Things i said out loud while watching it:

"why isn't this guy zoning?"

"wait what? he doesn't even have gate memmed?"

"seriously, why are you just fucking standing there?"

"hahahah you just backed into the scryer room and agro'd more!"

and then the finale, instead of running for the zone, which is literally like a 30 second run, you run back into the scryer room and die! fuckin classic.

yeah the guy trained you, which is fucked, but it was clearly an accident. I mean he buffed you and sat down to med. Do you honestly think he was trying to steal your camp by training you? That there would a petitionable offense, and you'd be warranted to post here.

Was he supposed to nuke them all down with his massive damage, low mana, enchanter nukes? lol. he locked them down for as long as he could in an obvious attempt to keep you from dieing. to try and right the egregious wrong he had bestowed you. And you, well, you chose to stand there and do nothing like an idiot. Are you surprised at the result?

All that video show's is two people being bad at everquest.

Mixed emotions cause rnf thread about an uguk train feels classic as hell and its a taste of things to come if green ever comes to light. OP is both mad and bad for watching a guy lock down a train instead of escaping. Going to file it under how do you manage to breath unassisted? cause wat r u doing?

It's somewhat ironic how both players here are enchanters but neither of them used the strengths associated with the class—reason, patience, charisma, a level of detachment to the situation, and crowd control. The higher level told his friend/others in discord and the lower level told everyone else by taking it to the forums. And now you both have aggro from all sides. Just memblur yourselves and move on imo.

Those who are saying that the OP is bad at this game based on one recorded instance... Everyone has been bad at one time or another. You inadvertently root yourself. You plow enrage while tabbed out. You disease cloud the mezzed target. Panicking is laughable in hindsight, but pretending like you haven't made stupid mistakes as well the same from time to time is also laughable. It happens, but if your fuck ups interfere with other players, you have to fix it. The play nice policy isn't about how well you play so much as it's about how well you play with others.

Did you even watch the video? He did try to fix it you fool. He locked down the entire area

OP stood there because of who he is as a person. Instead of getting out, he wanted to confront the guy for accidentally training him

I did watch the video. I never said he didn't try to fix it, but trying and doing are not the same thing. Also, I wasn't referring to the video when I wrote that last part. However, it still applies because the higher level player didn't really fix the situation, despite all his efforts. Ignoring what the lower level player didn't do, for whatever reason, the situation is more clear cut. If, for example, the lower level player was afk or completely new and unfamiliar with to the game, or if their keyboard and mouse were suddenly unresponsive, the result would have been the same.

In this case, the player either panicked, felt indignant, or who knows, maybe they wanted the drama. That's really besides the point since we can't know or police the motives of players, only their actions. And anyway, the onus is on the person who is in the wrong, not the person was wronged. If a bard dies to their swarm and it inadvertently kills another player, the fix would be to let them in on the xp of the next swarms or get them rezzed with a pocket cleric.

As to who the OP is as a person? I won't venture to guess or make any assumptions. But they probably aren't who you think they are if you're judging them based on video that's only a few minutes long. Just like I may or may not be a fool, but you can't know that based on one forum post.

Now I would like the in-game title of The Fool.

Again, you are assuming to know what another person is thinking/feeling. There was no use of an exclamation point or even an [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] in any of my sentences. My comment may have been facetious or sarcastic in nature for all you know.

I'll tell you what I was thinking. I when I first saw all the mobs I wondered what he was doing. I soon realized it was a train and saw him mez them. I expected he would kill them if it was an accident. So, I waited to see if he was going to kill them. He didn't he just told me to gtfo. In my mind that means he brought them there to push out of the camp. Was he? I don't know but I do know there's no reason he couldn't have killed them.

People want to talk smack about my playing "duh you didn't have gate memmed". Well no, why would I? I was doing perfect fine holding the camp without the worry of dying. Why don't these people ask why he didn't just melee them if he was oom? A level 45 enchanter who never bothered to get melee skill up or carry a melee weapon for just such events that they don't want to waste mana on low mobs? I know my old enchanters 1h blunt was maxed.

And remember he had been sitting there for at least a minute before the mobs showed up. They wouldn't have even gotten to the camp if he'd have just zoned out instead of sitting there waiting. Maybe he was stopping to buff to be nice. OK, that's nice of someone to do that but how did he not know he had frogs running after him? Again, I don't know.

But here's what I do know, I was upset afterward and rightly so, and instead of apologizing he turned it on me as if he was in the right because he's a high level (I don't find 45 a high level btw, but whatever) and said this is why high levels don't help lowbies. Yes, it was a great help. I was so lost before he showed up.

So, that's what I was thinking
