has the permafrost frozen your brain, the community already decided then cried when the GMs tried to implement a fairness system.

Ok first off, props for the in-game insult. It helps keep this fun and not mean [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But that being said, I do think you're wrong about the community crying over a "fairness system". Player roll agreements on Blue have gone from being just for Scout, to being for Scout, Ring rolls, and Shady/Angry Goblin. They've been going successfully for years, and none have ever gone back to FTE.

To me, that signals the community has embraced them.

no, the players do.

Again, you're objectively wrong. If "the players did", all loot on the server would go to the biggest concentration of players, and the largest guild would get everything. That's very P99 (it's how TMO was for years) ... but again it's not very EverQuest.

All Manastones (here or on live) did/do NOT go to uber guild members: as Bellamy noted, /list very much prevented that exact scenario, and I don't hear anyone saying "yes, let's go back to giving TMO (or its latest descendent) all the phat lewtz".

Incorrect. They do that because everything is known, you have a concentration of die-hards willing to go further to get that over the others. Just like in classic but everythign wasn't known and there was no precedent for the behavior going any further than it did. Just playing a game for 8 hours was bonkers. Now you have a concentration of bonkers on top of a time in society when playing games is accepted, hell even encouraged with the likes on streamer money.

Your solution is to get rid of all the older players and start fresh, like a great revolution.

What are you even talking about here? We agree that there are players that play more than others, but how does giving everyone an equal chance (which by definition gives those who play more a better chance) = getting rid of older players?

Line a bunch of them up at the OT gorge and cap em.

Again, creating new non-EverQuest games inside of EQ (like FTE races or not sleeping for days) is an option ... but it's just an option, and I think playing EverQuest is a better one.
