What attitudes and philosophies do you hate in P1999?

[Mentathiel]

How about the implication that there is one way to play, one goal and one mission? There are too many people stuck in one mindset who can't imagine being wrong and they end up screaming at each other on the forums. For every reasoned discussion of what the best breastplate is for a mid-level rogue, you get a vitriolic tirade about why people who play bards should be taken into the street and shot.

I know forums tend to be a spawning ground for polemicism, but how can there be so many trolls on the forums when the (blue) server has such a decent community?

People who roll on items that another class in the group needs, because that item is worth a lot.

Breath of Harmony dropped? What's that bard? It's a serious upgrade from your Crystalline Blade? But it's worth 5K! How can you be so greedy as to ask for that bard only weapon to replace your current weapon when I, the wizard, need it to sell so that I can finally afford that manastone I've been saving up for. Here, you can have this Ykeshan War Club, it's only worth 80 plat.

It's hypocritical to let the monk have the Baton of Faith if he can use it, that's only worth 100pp or so. But when a tstaff drops, everyone rolls because it's worth 30K.

It's only common sense that the seller set the initial price.

But don't sweat it... common sense ain't too common.

obviously reading what you are quoting isnt as common as one would think either.

I'd rather have the whole " the way they destroyed the death star is pretty implausible" arguement.

Well, what is most implausible is that they did essentially the same thing twice... The part that troubles me most is that both of them began construction a the same time, so why the difference in exhaust port size between the two?

We also have "the shot" to consider I don't care how many womprats Luke bullseyed in his T16, at no point was his shot required make an abrupt 90 degree turn and then travel a distance equal to the radius if a small moon with zero further lateral movement... I know an object the size of the Death Star would have it' own gravity, but come on.

On that note the docking bay layout doesn't make much sense either. Even with an artificial gravity to keep their feet planted, the Death Star's natural gravity would still exert a considerable influence....

It was all a conspiracy and SW:ANH is just the official version of events.

Think about it; there's one known survivor of the Death Star's explosion and what he just happens to have the same last name as the farm-boy who magically made a shot which requires a 90 degree turn? What about the fact that he somehow fails to shoot down that x-wing despite being one of the best fighter pilots in the galaxy.

And then he and his son were the only witnesses when the emperor was assassinated? How convenient...

Basically the argument people will give you is this:

5k is 5k. Whether it's in the form of a Breath of Harmony to that bard, a Band of Eternal Flame to that wizard, Cobalt Vambraces to the Warrior, a pair of SoS to a Monk, or Golden Efreeti Boots to a Druid. Sure it takes time to sell then buy. But every item with monetary value can be transformed into something useful for most everyone in the group.

I tend to think that's a fair assessment. What grinds my Vermiculated Tunic, is when people roll on something like an epic piece MQ. Probably most specific would be the KC Pipe for Monk Epic. Yes, you can sell them for a few thousand plat. But if a monk is attempting to do his epic legit IMO let him have it. If he already has his epic or no monk is in group, yea roll to sell the MQ.

or we just witnessed luke using his jedi powers for the first time. You obviously dont understand that obi wan's midichlorian spirit was actually holding up a midichlorian force board so that luke could bank shot that shit into the exhaust port with his weak bud evolving jedi powers. We know at this point that luke was aware of the force but not fully trained, so we cant say for sure that it was lukes use of the force ( though it may have been) so the obi wan spirit backboard goal assist is the only other plausible explanation. Here is an illustration of my working theory. Notice obi wans corporeal form and words of encouragement.

- People demanding that you MUST do some assist message. The tank is clearly swinging at something, it's an SK and it just cast disease cloud. Just make an /assist hotkey and use it when you see the guy doing his cast animation. Manage your aggro, don't jump in early - why does the tank have to be the guy who does all the work just so you can autopilot it?

- The idea some have that if you pick race X or Y you are a filthy minmaxer. You cannot be an ogre because you like them for cosmetic reasons or lore. You must be doing it for those stats. Iksar necro/shm? Clearly for the regen only. Halfling? Wants to level a bit faster.

- People joining PUGs while they're on standby for some dragon batphones. Nothing more retarded than clearing down to crypt, then your cleric WC caps out because maestro spawned. Wut? Just make a guild group if you got crap in window.

- Ridiculous need to haggle in EC. This one guy was selling NoS, asked price, tells me a price. I'm like "okay, wru". He goes "OH SORRY I MEANT [adds 10k to price]". Replied with "pfft" and for the next 5-10minutes he reduces 1-2k at a time until he was back at the original price.

- People thinking red is worthwhile at this point.

Found your problem, Brut. You've been interacting with the community again. As long as you stay within the raid bubble so much of that goes away :P I don't think I've leveled a character outside of chardok in a year at least. Pretty sure the only 50-60 not chardok was either skyfire AE or duo'ing freeti with an ench (dem double manastones yo).
