target rings are to non classic as voip is to non classic.... thats not an analogy. They are not parallel relationships, they are the same thing. Thats like saying "a cat is to animal as a dog is to animal". They are not analogies. Try again plz

Again, look at the definition for an analogy. It's not narrowly defined to a pure parallel relationship - the only two key elements are similarities and comparisons.

Do you need me to put the definition in another post for you, or should I just give you a link?

Here, i'll do the "nice thing" like you said:

1) a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based

How much do you need me to hold your hand on this? Sorry, you made an analogy, then denied it was an analogy, then made another poor analogy.

You made a comparison of like features of two things based on their similarities.

You made an analogy.

U mad?

The guy on the street can glance at his watch in half a second. Eq player can type /loc in half a second. You can go find a clock elsewhere like inside a store or in your car but this takes much more time and effort. Just like hitting alt tab and loading multiple websites takes way more time. This is an actual analogy since you obviously don't know. An apt analogy at that.

The EQ player asking for directions can alt-tab and click on a shortcut or google eqatlas before most people respond, and in the process of doing so he's actually learning something about the game.

And you're also assuming these people know how to use locs (given the inversion of the x-y axes in the way the game reports them). I could post the loc and still not help them.

Why not just give the eqatlas info and expect them to see the loc grid on those maps along with landmarks? That's a complete solution.


I think it's dickish to expect people to always give you help "just because it only takes a second". I certainly don't expect it of people.
