I was one of the few people who were ever willing to give my items that were upgraded for free to people who needed. I burnt thousands and thousands of plat on Midnight Mallets during my free time. I could go on and on, but the truth is you'll just respond saying "not true blah blah." That's fine, that's actually quite normal it's what we call: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias"
"Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is the tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses."
So, since you once witnessed me perhaps not help with something, you've established that as your belief. Ok then, that's fine.
As far as loot, 1) it's impossible to cock block in Velious for a variety of reasons, but chiefly because there is no new content EVER coming out on Project 1999 after Velious This content will not be monopolized forever. 2) There are tons of options for progression in Velious, be it Dozekar / Tormax / PoG / PoM / Planes 2.0 / Dain / ToV, etc. If you think you'll simply stroll into ToV and just plow everything with no PVP then you're mistaken. Many fights are 15+ minutes in duration. There will be far more competition. 3) I don't play for loot, I play to see others have fun and progress. 4) If you think Velious is a way for me to gear myself, then you're mistaken. To me, a guild leader should always come last, to avoid any accusations of impropriety.
In closing, I've probably helped more people on this server than almost anyone. I hate saying it like that because it sounds pompous and conceited, and I don't help people to puff my chest out, but if someone is going to come at me and claim otherwise, then I'll certainly respond. Your contribution to the server has been logging on for several hours a week, hitting auto attack, and logging off. Congratulations on your accomplishments, and I hope they carry over for you to the next game you embark on in a year or two, when this server will surely die as there is nothing else coming on the horizon for Project 1999.
I don't think many people grasp that this project is coming to a certain end, and it's sooner rather than later. If people would relax a bit, perhaps they could enjoy it a bit more. For those who rush to reach the top of the mountain as quick as possible, it will only mean your retirement will be sooner. I don't find zerging things down in Velious with potentially 70+ people exciting. I did Velious when it was current, with mid 30's numbers, and it was thrilling. Alas though, that's why Project 1999 will always be pretty "meh" compared to live. This is a game meant to be played with thousands of people concurrently, and here we play it with often fewer than a hundred.
