So why does he deserve pixels more than other people? God only knows... it's not a rational mind we are dealing with here.
I remember on EQ2, I was in a PVP guild. It was great. We had a really close-knit fun guild, and we really only had one guild that competed against us.

To make a long story even longer, we accrued PVP gears very fast because all we did was PVP, and we became even stronger than ever with these uber PVP gears on.

Not long after we had been dominating people hard, we were all chatting in guild chat etc., and I said something regarding skill and others in our guild, and it came off very egotistical and when I had said it, I didn't even realize it. It wasn't until the GL who was a good pal of mine said something along the lines of, "huh, now that you got all those uber gears you sure sound full of yourself."

I then took a step back, looked at how I was talking to my own guild, and realized that he was right. I was sounding like some conceited, uppity prick and prior to this point I never thought and acted like that.

This really struck me profoundly tbh. I understood then how INGAME pixellated items and notoriety really can influence and alter a gamer's perspective of not just themselves but even other people.

Ever since then, I always tried to put things in proper perspective as best as I could.

I just think guy's like Maner have lost the ability to do this, they truly have lost sight of the big picture, and even of themselves. Their brains really are floating in pixels and it has altered their perspectives and not in a good way.

Would help if you bothered to read before posting. I never said I deserved anything over other people. I used to track when it was instant pulls, but these racing rules took the fun out of it so I just respond to batphones when I can. Perhaps the real problem is that you seem to think you deserve something for doing nothing. I am a member of AM and I have been since it was formed. The fact that you're so focused on me just proves you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Who is the irrational one though? The kid who keeps posting even though he doesn't play here? Or the person who has hoarded 9 items in over 2 years? Lmfao you're a joke not to mention terrible at trolling. Spend some tome on Reddit and learn how to actually troll people.

If only you knew what you were talking about. I don't have anything close to the best gear and maybe have BIS in one slot but yes, it must be all about the pixels lol. Unlike you though, I'm not so obsessed with a emu server that ihave to stalk its forums when I don't even play there.

Mobile sucks for these forums

Are you mentally challenged? If so, then I apologize.

I honestly think you have some sort of learning disability you always have the same canned responses to people who are critical of what you write, "if you only knew what you were talking about."

FYI, I play on the server.

Which obviously doesn't qualify you to comment on it as you still don't know what you're talking about.

CT has been popping Monday evening through Tuesday morning with all 3 of us his golems and Draco. They die very quickly to the no lifers. The golems will then spawn again 3 days after that with a 16 hour window. Just go clear Fear and wait for them to spawn. There is nothing that pisses off the no lifers more than when you take their non tier raid mob loot fairly and legitimately.

As for hate minis, they are up every 8 hours. Any clear into Hate could yield some good results. If you run into any no lifers logging in to take the minis just push for the mob anyway. They'll prolly train you because they lack social skills and communication. After enough trains and drama PoHate will be clear for you for a couple weeks.

Such is P99. Good luck, Vita Infiniti.

What you clearly don't understand is that you obviously don't need to sit on the golems spawns as A/A has never contested the golems when CT isn't in window.

Oh we have been. We have gotten a few over the months but not nearly as many as we should have. It's not possible to push for the mob when a group of 3-4 people literally moves to the spawn point minutes before it spawns and engages it the instant it spawns then moves to the next spawn point..over and over.

I'm not even saying people shouldn't be going for them but if the spawn points and/or times had at least *some* random element it would be more feasible to push for it and the MQ'ers might not bother with it as much if they had to actually put forth more effort to clear to them when they spawned.

I will say that they usually shout to the zone to come loot the rotting gear they can't use so that is appreciated but it still just seems greedy and wasteful IMO. A zone designed to be a raid zone should more frequently benefit those that actually raid the zone..not those that have trivialized the content with gear/levels so they can MQ the items.
