Why EQ is better

/salute WoW on this one I'm afraid.

Yeah, and when you want to get from one place to another you click on one of the flight paths, in eq you have to beg a druid or wizard to port you.

EQ community > WoW. And i've never charged for buffs, nor accepted donations. So dunno where you get the expecting to pay for buffs.

Only thing people expect to be paid for are things that take their time to do - like porting. Other's offer their buffs as a service for donations, technically you could donate nothing, but then that'd be a pretty dickish thing to do anyway.

Yeah, don't know that I've ever been asked to pay for a buff in EQ. I try to donate or buff back when I can though, just as a "thank you".

Ports, rezzes, corpse summoning - yeah that can cost, but that's because it's time consuming (and can even be dangerous at times) in EQ. That's not the case in a spoon-fed clickfest like WoW though.

What it boils down to is - there's nothing WORTH paying for in WoW. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
