Just Listened to Sirkens Supercast

[Guido]

I will not lie I do need YT. Adds the best aspect to this game. Without it, it would be boring and mindless, with NO fun.

In fact I was the one who brought it up as to why it IS needed on a red server.

You can spin it how you will. We are eq nerds who like to stroke our e-peen on a 15 year old elf sim.

The blue button is available to anyone if you cant hang here.

now holy jesus back on topic.

I've been here pre YT and leaderboard and there was actually less PvP to be found before the inception of the leaderboard. It actually motivates people to seek PvP more.

There was always players who avoided PvP at all costs and stuck to large groups looking to avoid deaths this will not change if it is removed because their behavior was the same before YT was added.

ur probably the #1 example of why YT discourages PvP

u r terrified of getting YT embarrassment instead of just pvping and taking a death

No, not everyone seeks validation here...

it is a player v player server not a blue farm server.

YT is necessary on all levels of this game.

and is 100% contribution as to why I player here to this day.

5 years or something like that, since it begun.

Right. So kill each other and be done with it. YT does not factor into the PvP equation except to show other people that you are "better" than them, which splits apart the R99 community.

then the forums would be filled with screenshots of all kills

you are really beating a dead horse. and I thought imago was a pvper. lol

and splits apart the community? its simple. who killed who. sounds like you belong on blue imago.

What about no yellow text on naked item less bodies?

How about a LNS in your name like lfg? So the perp who kills someone on LNS can't say they didn't know?

Two moderately easier to implement ideas, not majorly game changing.

I agree mechanics > rules

Would you say posting someones KDR in literally every argument you make on the forums increases or decreases the amount of pvp that happens in game?

Irrelevant to the discussion at hand you are saying that removing leaderboards will increase PvP it will not. It would alleviate the shame bad players feel by failing at PvP but it will not suddenly encourage a player with 1 kill and 75 deaths to seek more PvP.

People will simply post more screenshots of that player dying like we used to. Removing the system players asked for so badly they created it themselves will not allow bad players to hide their record. This server is like a small town and if you are bad at PvP everyone is still gonna know.

Isint changing these mechanics just like the rest of the current games? Somethings a little funky and kind of hard to use so they change it for the care bares. This is EQ. Its supposed to be hard and vague. And why would you kill someone running naked though a zone?
