Raiding in EQ is on the same level as honor grinding in WSG #23359, a necessary evil.

When you are max honor gear with full honor do you KEEP grinding BGS?

Do you re-gear your 30th crew of recruits after winning the box? WTF.

But it would be like no cap on honor pool. You could stash like near infinite amounts till they capped it at 75k season to season

What I am wondering is why/how do people have fun doing this, and will this stop in end game Velious - or will it just be forever people grinding boring content with all the neckbeards in one guild?

You are asking the wrong question. You should be asking why do people give up so easily?

Stasis, what is it you do right now when you log in the game? I'm guessing you either farm some camp with 1-2 people, try to gank some players or since there isn't anything entertaining for you to do maybe you aren't even logging in anymore. You can already do this in Nihilum. There are actually more targets if you are in Nihilum than in Hokuten right now.

You can also go raid and get some pixels that are more powerful than whatever you are trying to farm. The wealth you are accumulating is much greater in a raiding guild and either way you are just sitting there doing PvE on a 15 year old game.

If you are asking why would people farm uncontested vs have big guild vs guild fights over content it isn't really a fair question because that isn't an option. If 1 person decides to leave Nihilum for this competitive atmosphere they will be by themselves and probably just quit the server waiting for something to happen like yourself.

What you are really asking is why would someone want to raid and play on this server vs quitting and not playing anymore. The answer to that is that people enjoy Everquest and want to play a somewhat classic experience.

There would need to be a force of 20-30 people that are active and leave all at once but that has never happened on this server and I'm guessing it never will. Normally people leave 1 at a time and the rest that don't leave see that person miserable and quitting the server within 2 weeks so why would someone else do the same?

It would take a very hardcore player with a large group of friends to start something sustainable and fun for a larger group of players. The majority of players, 100% of casuals like myself, don't have the time or resources to provide an environment like that.

Most players are followers because of their lack of time. I'm going to join the guild that I see providing me the most fun tonight when I log in. I'm not trying to help build a vision for the future, I'm doing that in real life.

I try to stay out of these threads but he hit the nail on the head. It's not an option to be competitive because there is no competition. As a newer player here your options are limited. Go to a guild that can show you what you want to see. Or don't and forum quest and complain all day.

Yeah I already know it's because people are little bitches, and it's better to be in Nihi than to have no raid targets, have to go against a 3 year established group of psychopaths that have near 100% raid attendance over years heads up in a zerg battle.

I appreciate your honesty, and really explain that there's a fundamental problem in server mechanics at fault here.

Fucken up my own edits bad wtf.

Static timers, join Nihilum or quit for some PVE farm quest.

Good stuff Red99.

These are your options pal, welcome to Red99 - GM's think this is working as intended.

If you want to create your own guild, feel free - you have a great entry into end game by static timers where 50 neckbeards in VP gear will shit down your throat.

Peace out.
