It's crazy right? Almost like a guy who doesn't even play on the server caring so much about a 16 year old elf sims forums. Now that would unfathomable

Anyone who wants to feel good about their lives needs to come around these forums and check out what you guys are still doing here.

Pretty much this. It's entertaining to watch as a spectator. I'm so grateful that I have nothing to do with the absurd bullshit that goes into P99 raiding anymore and instead I can laugh at u idiots for continuing to do it and brag about it.

You're really more of a commentator than a spectator. You're like the former college football star who flopped in the NFL but can't let go of his glory days, so you still show up to every game day and jump at the opportunity to comment on the current status of the program in interviews for the local news. No one cares what ol' Lightning McGee from the class of 55 thinks about HUNH offenses.

Professional athlete analogies always work so well for mmorpg gamers. Someday you'll make it on that Wheaties box.

Serious question here. Do u honestly believe I'm not good enough at Everquest to join A/A and park my char at tov and log in when batphone goes off and cast torpor/chloroblast a bunch? There's like 8 ex-BDA members in Awakened right now that I know of and not all of them were all-stars even in BDA. Why do u retards act like what you're doing takes special skills and everyone else is bad? The "skills" u have are lack of anything else to do with your life and the patience and willingness to stare at your monitor for SIXTEEN HOURS without blinking so u can get FTE and "earn" those pixels cause we all know if u don't stare for 16 hrs for pixels they're worthless right?

Let's not forget like 80% of you don't even do anything. You just log in when your phone beeps and hit your backstab/ch/nuke buttons a buncha times til the mob dies.

EverQuest takes A LOT more skill then those games. I mean, think about it. Just think about it. It's not easy hitting Q THEN having to micromanage backstabs, or hell, epic fist and kicks...

Or timing the Complete Heals. That shit is tough.

I'm fucking kidding. I'd be willing to go as far as saying raids on WoW are harder then P99. The hard part is having the nerd strength to poop sock long enough to get FTE.

Personally, I think it's terrible. I really wish each guild that proved itself worthy would get designated times to kill content, with GM respawns. That's the only thing that makes sense in my head. I want to have full raid gear for my monk soo fucking bad.. but jesus.. not THAT bad.

Exactly. The ONLY hard part about raiding on P99 is poopsocking and if u pride yourself on your poopsocking abilities ur fucked in the head. There is a server u can play on with designated times to kill raid mobs btw. It's called Phinigel :P

My post wasn't meant as a comment or attack on your knowledge or ability to play EQ. I have no idea who you are or how good you are at EQ. Former college football stars who linger around their alma mater was just the most apropos comparison to your continued need to post here and comment on the state of a game you don't play and actively criticize.

Also, I've never claimed raiding in A/A takes skill. A handful of people need to know whats going on and everyone else has to listen, thats about it. Being good at EQ requires a lot of knowledge about classes and game mechanics, but the average raider doesn't need to know that stuff if they can follow directions. I'd assume you can follow directions, but I don't know how safe that assumption is considering some of the players I've run into on p99.

Either way, I imagine you could join A/A if you wanted to, I'm less certain about your ability to let go of the obvious insecurities that compell you to constantly comment here and criticize how other people are spending their time.

You have to understand that there are two distinct types of people in these guilds: trackers/racers and warm bodies. As you say, casting torpor or hitting the backstab button is pretty trivial. However, racing is not. Even if Bill Gates offered me 1 million dollars per Vulak FTE, I don't have the focus to stare at the screen for 16 hours at a time and then race up efficiently. People who can and will do this are very valuable here - there are probably only 20-30 of them on the entire server.

Now, I think this a fucking stupid thing to be good at. And I think it's crazy that the staff have deliberately created a raid scene that is finely tuned for 20 players out of 2000+ that play here regularly at high level. I would be very curious to hang out at a staff meeting about this some time. But, it's not going to change and that's what Phinigel is for.

The problem IMO is when A/A members start conflating racing with actual EverQuest. For example, Detoxx/Legday's suggestion that A/A could race for NTOV dragons but then leave them up until the end of the week. This only makes sense if they seriously believe that no other guilds are capable of killing them uncontested, which is of course complete nonsense. Or all of the updates to the various guild threads where they claim to be elite in some way or another.
