This is not classic.....

So I just started not to long ago, and I am already figuring out this server is not classic AT ALL....

First: I can understand RMT, there has always been that, but allowing you to sell your accounts for plat is ok? Not to mention even selling them on the official site. if I remember right you weren't even allowed to share your account with a member of your own family on classic live. Let alone sell it for ingame currency.. This alone ruins the economy. Not to mention it also even invites RMT, new people can just buy plat. Come on this website, and purchase a raid lvl toon. How can GM's allow this?

Second: Camps.... in classic GM's would enforce camping rules, perma camping was not allowed at all, shoot "camping" was not even allowed except for a few special camps. When a certain camp was allowed like Fungi, epic camps etc. It was usally get your item, and leave the camp to the next person on the list.

Third: NBG: In classic, there was once a thing called need before greed. You know where if you need something you would get it before someone who can't even equip it, and wants it to resell. Granted, I am not 60 yet. So I don't know first hand how this plays out in high end camps, but from what I see on the forums its non exsistant.

Forth: Raiding.. In classic, there were rotations for raids which were GM enforced. None of this one guild conquer's all nonsense. This happened in classic, and verant quickly ended that. I don't see how GM's on this server do not enforce a rotation, it isn't hard.

Fifth: While I understand GM's cannot handle all these requests, but this is one of the reasons they had guides. This server has over 800 people. There should be no reason that there shouldnt be a few community guides to help enforce the rules, and overall make this a better experiance for new, and old players.

If this is going to be a mirror of classic EQ, that should also mean the same ruleset, am I right?

I think the main reason people can get a bit hostile, is because every point you made literally has hundreds of pages of threads devoted to discussing those things. So, to a lot of us, you are just bringing up points that have been argued again and again for years.

Most of us are fully aware of the pros/cons associated with all of your points and most of us have come to the conclusion that after years of discussing these things, there is very little that can be said that will suddenly cause the server GMs to change things. Most of us have chosen to play on this server because of the way it currently works and have accepted its various nuances. We have made the decision to dedicate hundreds of hours of our lives to enjoying this server and its ruleset.

People might be a bit hostile because your post is well.. filled with ignorance. The GMs do a better job here policing RMTers than any live server of any MMO I've ever played on. If you think RMT is nearly as rampant on here compared to any live server anywhere, you are just straight up delusional. Your point about 'camping wasn't allowed on live' is something I certainly have never heard of. People certainly claimed camps back in live and sat there for many hours. Also, I've spent hundreds of hours grouping on this server, and your complaints about 'need before greed' make me think that you haven't invested nearly the amount of time in groups compared to most of us. Need before greed does seem to be the standard 95%+ of the time.

The main point you should take from my post, is that these topics have been beaten to death, so feel free to continue arguing your point, but realize that all sides of all of these issues have been discussed at great length already in these forums, and there is little you can say that will change the minds and hearts of the general population at this point in time.
