![]() Last night was day 4 and already the population is spreading out nicely. I have no trouble soloing blues in EP to feed my tradeskilling.
Problem is, many of the new players are really new. They don't know how to group. Got into a group last night to go to WK to (I thought) camp some bears and bandits (while I gathered as many cat pelts as possible). Nope. Ran around like mad killing every blue they could find (we were all about 5-ish). Grizzly? They ran away from it. Camp? Never heard the term. No real healer in the group, but a shaman who actually seemed to know what he was doing, but remained quiet while they ran around non stop, then wondered why no one was healing. After about an hour, lots of running, about half-bubble of exp, and no treasure (but I did get an overload of pelts to skill up with). Still, they were nice enough and having fun, it seemed. The shaman seemed a bit frustrated, as was I, but remained quiet. Meanwhile, back in EP, people complaining about not finding blues in over 20 minutes, while I was killing spiderlings and cubs left and right with no one else in sight. | ||

And still, I absorbed some of the tactics, knew about "assist", pulling, etc. How can some players claim to know EQ and not know that stuff? | |||

I asked him if i could have some of the ruined skins on nbg so i could complete my tattered armour set. He was confused by what nbg meant, but after it was explained he said he nbg them for his tailoring. I was like fine, how about you do the combine and i'll provide the pattern. He seemed cool with this deal. On the offhand i wanted to check how his skill compared to mine; i was at about 19 tailoring at this point. He had 4! So i suggested when he hit 5 he visit the fp cleric guild he could train to 15 so he wouldn't destroy so many pelts and get more gold out of his combines. I got a big 'naaah' from that. Anyway, i told him we had to share, he agreed and looted the next 4 pelts. I asked him what was going on and he explained we were only sharing the ruined pelts. I just lolled as the wizard in group had passed me a couple of ruined pelts and i had completed my last couple of combines and just told that dwarf to take as many of the pelts he needed. Quote:

About a month ago, I started leveling a druid on Blue. I noticed the exact same thing. Some people I was grouped with were ridiculously bad. Rangers who would not snare or spot heal or anything with their mana; monks who refused to plan and wait for a good harmony pull, and instead pulled entire rooms, people ninja-AFK and all sorts of other stupid stuff. My theory is that we have a lot of players who have become lazy because they are used to playing twinked out characters on Blue. The consequences of bad play are not as evident and even if we wipe, we all know where the best easy EXP is to make it up. They probably aren't new, they probably aren't bad players. They are lazy players.
