EQ experience part 2 - End game choices?

[heartbrand]

I change my mind often because circumstances on this server change often. We're not talking about fundamental laws of physics which are immutable. For example, I was convinced that the Nagafen "exploit" was dastardly and what not when it occurred. Now, having been in Nihilum for a long time and seeing dragons such as Nexona bugged for over a year, dragons like Druushk bugged for over a year, during which time zero responses occurred on bug threads, I can see why people might reasonably decide "fuck it" and use some advanced tactics to dispose of them, sort of like what happened when Nagafen got stuck in the geometry for several days and no guide would log on to reset him.

Another example, I was originally incredibly against Variance, because the server was basically just Nihilum raiding and it was nothing more than a "tax" on Nihilum. Now, with vibrant competition, I think some form of "Variance" or random repop timer resets would be a good thing to help continue healthy competition. The fundamentals have changed, so my opinion has changed.

I used to be incredibly against item loot, but now, I see it as the only logical way to make this server better.

There's nothing wrong with having an evolving opinion as you devour more facts. I'd be more afraid of the ideologues on these boards who continue to parrot the same views three plus years into the server who don't even play here.
