I don't remember if I already posted here but me and some pals are starting an Agnarr guild. Hit me up if you wanna roll with us. Can still be elf pals regardless of RNF shit talking. Only person not allowed is Swish. Will obviously be focused on leveling and shit for the first little while. Eventually raiding somewhere between casual and hardcore. Prolly only a couple nights a week but take it seriously when its raid time.

PM me for more deets

Even if it nosedives, it will never get as low as red pop :>

Worked 4 times now. Sorry your server is dying and your country sucks.

Okay, so who am I winning against?

I'm not in any competition with the other 3000 people playing.

Am I winning against mobs? Nope, my 40 slot bag deals zero damage.
It doesn't sound like you're winning against anyone or anything, anywhere [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well in reality you're just paying to cheat yourself out of progression because you can't delay gratification.

But you're using a overly narrow definition of 'win'. If you want to know what kind of damage the krono economy causes, consider that being able to buy into the economy with real money pits you against legit players, and creates purchasing power that wouldn't otherwise be there, affecting demand and therefore prices.

Consider the price of torpor here on P99. Every shaman wants it. Few shamans can afford it. Yet over the period of 2013-2015 the price doubled as eligible shamans increased.

Also that 40 slot bag severely impacts newb cash flow. I know for a fact my ranger can't stuff my backpacks with fine steel weapons until I can't move, and I can't go vendor every 30 mins if I want to keep my spot in a good group at the bottom of Guk.

P99s economy is full of people who have neckbearded for years, amassed a substantial sum of plat and proceed to turn it into the shitshow it is currently.

So because I spent money to shorten the amount of trips I had to vendor, it means I'm paying to win? in that context anything you do in EQ to shorten the time it takes to accomplish an objective is paying to win, regardless of the currency. Instead of paying to win using a druid when traveling around, take the boat. Instead of paying to win with that fungi tunic, level up with a patchwork chest.

Yea, sounds pretty ridiculous.
No, because any other currency you used, you got by playing the game not by just paying more money. Honestly what a stupid argument...

I'm pretty sure the people making the pay to win argument over a bag are the stupid ones. In any event, don't play on real servers, you aren't welcome and we are tired of you idiots clogging the real forums whining about people boxing. The world is a sadder place because you exist.

Masturbating in the public library bathroom really eat up that much of your time?
