Not even a guy!

It wasn't meant to be nasty, truly, relax a little! Was just laughing IRL because it was the bane of my raiding experience (Kunark to OoW) -- the zone where everyone we'd ever had retire from the guild logged in and wanted to be keyed then quit again the week after. Misery. Can't say I knew anyone who liked ssra, or would admit to it, so I just found it amusing.

Are you Thinking of VT? That key was the real pita.

Haha sorry man I was reading the PvP forums before this and it got me all internet-angry.

Ssra DID require a pretty easily quested key for emp chamber (all in-zone) as well as shissar bane weapons to take him down, but everything else was unkeyed content that just required showing up with a force of above average knuckleheads. And if you think about it, requiring a key to fight the big boss is a necessary and pretty effective way of keeping the hot loot off of alts and randoms for at least a few months. Funny how nobody ever objects to PoA keys.

VT was dog shit on a stick. VT key quest was the first time-sink in EQ (other than the game itself) to be so poorly disguised as something other than a time-sink. The second one was actually raiding VT.

I liked VT too...twice. Then you start to notice that raiding VT is like having a part-time job that doesn't pay you. And it is the apex zone of the game-thus-far. It just doesn't seem right after classics like PoH or ssra. Even Kael has more charm.
