Neither are world-wide oocs but we have those. Finawin is right, you can't use the argument "it's classic" for some things and then disregard that argument when its unhelpful to your opinion.

I also agree that /anon people are stupid/annoying. The only people who I understand going anon are druids or clerics. But even then I would rather have a cleric say "no" to me or even never respond then to have it the way it is now with like 70% of the world anon.

Just the other day I was in LGUK and someone sent me a tell and said are you really the only one in LGUK? and I replied "no there are 23 other people here." I really do not understand /anon for non clerics or druids. Is it because people want to hide where they are camping? But if so, suppose someone does a /who all and thinks someone isn't camping that spot then they will go there and find that you are there anyway. So I only see anon it as a major inconvenience without any benefit.

It wouldn't bother me as much if you could see who was all in a zone even if they are anon. But would that defeat the purpose of /anon? I don't know because I don't even know what the benefit is. Maybe someone can clear it up for me.

I /role sometimes because if I'm busy and having conversations with people I don't want to deal with constant port requests.

And all of you saying you won't port/talk to/trade with anon people must be antisocial babies. If they send you a tell you can type /r where you at?

Not that hard.

Anon gets its bad name from MacroQuest and hiding your guild tag.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Speaking as someone who played a druid for 7 years on live and I don't think EVER used /role or /anon I can say this. /cope.

Lets count the keystrokes. "R" "spacebar" "n" "o" "enter" wow.... 5 keystrokes? No wonder you go /role. Yeah, I can totally understand.

/sarcasm off

As for the /r where you at. Yeah and then you get mad if you're in tells with someone and you get constant tells from other people? or if you're trying to solo heal frenzy and people are asking if you're near Sol B?

I used them a lot on pvp servers, but never did on non-pvp. people who used them on non-pvp didn't bother me beyond the first pings of annoyance. instead I questioned my own reasons for not using anon/roleplay. i questioned our need to know everything. we're information addicted. the pings of annoyance went away.

anyway, after thinking about this for a while, i came to some conclusions...

and the trolling begins...

When I see item names in chat, i want a link that tells me the stats...

When I see an item link, I want it to tell me what monster it drops on and what the name is...

When I see an item link, I want to see which zone the monster that drops it is in...

When I see the item link, I want to see what level the monster is that drops the item....

When I click on an item link, I want to be able to click on a button that teleports me instantly to the area where the item drops...

When I click on an item link, just give me the item already by allowing me to click a button that says "get item" because camping the named is boring and unnecessary...

Get the picture?

When I am going through a zone, I want there to be landmarks so I know how to travel through the zone...

When I am gpoing through a zone, I want it to be small and simple so I know how to travel through the zone...

When I am going through a zone, i want a map of the zone printed out so I know how to travle through the zone...

When I am going through a zone, I want a map window so I know how to travel through the zone...

When I am going through a zone, I want the option to teleport to anywhere in the zone on the map window so I know how to travel through the zone...

When I am going throgh a zone, just put everything in one spot because i hate having to teleport to all of the spots so I know how to travel through the zone...

Get the picture?

Some things we work for, somethings we get free, and some people are never happy until they have everything and there's nothing left to do. I understand the pleas that some people have about needing to know some things without working for it, but when you drive this need to its ultimate completion, it's focused on the destination, not the journey. I believe the journey is the joy. If you do not enjoy the journey, the destination will never, ever make you happy. You will never be happy. You will always need and want.

a billion dollars won't make you happy. all the riches in the world mean nothing. max level won't make you happy. having all the knowledge of the universe won't make you happy unless you're happy without it.

I understand the frustration people feel when they /who all and get a bunch of anons. but for once in your life, sit back and think in non-reactionary terms. actually question your own self, have you ever done that?

I /role simply because I'm a druid and it cuts down on the 1000000 tells you get an hour for ports and PLing... any other class I play I play without anon or role on.

Stealing camps isn't classic either but we've already learned that much haven't we?

Justice: 1

Terrible player Magicflow: 0

The argument of "it's not classic" holds no water when it's chosen arbitrarily sometimes and disregarded other times.

Not everything "classic" is good for the server and needs to be recreated.

If you want to talk about me trying to take over a camp when the server came down for a patch (which was a regular occurrence in classic and perfectly legal as we all know) don't shit up other threads about it, there is an appropriate thread to discuss that in rants and flames. The mere fact that a GM took two hours to determine his final course of action clearly shows that there was some validity to my claim on the camp. Irregardless, this isn't the thread for that junk.

In this case since as far as I am concerned there is simply no reason to deviate from classic (and infact they already made this change - when the server started you could see anon/role people by /w all <zone> and the powers that be deliberately changed it to mirror classic) I'm just giving my opinion, pal.
