Poll: Rotation Or Not

[azeth]

@ Davionx - I'm surprised you bother playing EQ with that mentality.

Tbh I'd like to upgrade my legs from Mithril Greaves to Golden Freeti Greaves.
Not only will I lose strength (still above 188), but also Sv Magic, while gaining dex (i dont use proccing weapons often) and agi (pretty useless for rogues). Just because this "upgrade" doesn't bump me from scrub -> elite does not mean it's not worth my time to pursue.

Consider now - Player X (me) wants item Y (greaves) which only drop off such_and_such raid target, i don't know, 1/50. My guild kills this target ~2 times a week or less, so if I'm not on for the kill most of the time my odds are miniscule on getting the item. Also, if I'm not on enough for any other raid we do, my odds on getting the item when it actually drops are nil. It's all perspective.

Davionx, you above almost any other poster in this thread are full of opinions regarding how you think things should be.

I'm having alot of fun playing this game and these replies were never meant to poke at hardcore raiders other then to say that I dont think your time spent on hardcore raiding in this game is rewarded properly for what it requires you to do.

quick note: i am not mad bro, and i dont think you are either.

Again though, I really am that player who spends a lot of time online and 99% of that time raiding. I feel fully rewarded for my efforts despite many times losing a raid target, or not getting an item, or after a wipe. Hell, I feel elated even seeing people in my guild upgrade from shit to crap. Doesn't matter what drops, as long as I'm raiding with a capable group..

Especially in Classic EQ, the fun is in the journey, not the destination.

Nice, playing with people who can play their role/class at the level required for such content definetly adds alot of overall fun.
