Just couple of points from the top of my head

Imagine what would the servet look like if everyone played it like Rojas. He spends his time in EQ making money (for what ffs? How much money do you need?) not playing the actual game. His style is detrimental to the server and only helps rich guys from the top to lvl more and more alts so they can cockblock more raid content.

How exactly does he lvl other peoples alts without them taking an active role in the process?. Well i will tell you what i think. I do not have any evidence, but my feeling is he boxes them. I saw him lvling one of those alts in kurns and it had boxing written all over it. Let me rephrase it...i saw many suspicious duos where i thought these guys might be boxing, but the feeling was never as strong as when i saw rojas PLing this low lvl char in kurns. If i had to quantify, i would say i was 90% sure.

One thing is his playstyle which creates negative energy and only helps himself and few rich lazy guys, but is not actualy "illegal", other thing would be if he is using ip exemption to box while PLing.

I might be wrong, but i doubt it.

My estimate is he could make around 200k during busy week, maybe even more. Where does all that money go? Is he sponsoring halfling terrorist units that will perform suicide attacks in Neriak?

At least you had the decency to say you BELIEVED I box... I have two brothers, and a SS on my PL service thread from ambrotoss clearing us of boxing. It's called "you name it, choose it, I PL it" in EC tunnels. Also the people in OT typically like me after weeks of concerted effort there always seems to be at least a few who know how I am when I swarm, which I won't repeat again all the things I do to mitigate zone disruption.

I think the big problem is that low-hp kiting has trivialized this. It used to be that bards would periodically monopolize zones AOE kites, but there are only so many bards, and not every bard did it because it was easy to die. Low-hp kiting makes it risk free, makes it possible in many zones, and means that bards can PL an unlimited stream of clients. Between this and Chardok AOE anyone can pl a toon 1-60 in like a week. Personally I think it's so unbalancing that it needs a nerf regardless of being classic or not.

EC and OT where you'd see him flapping his tongue

I wouldnt have minded so much of what he does, but if appropriate leveled people are trying to level normally, he should respect that and not be such a douche.

I do!

This guy has consistently been called out by the marjority, yet is still in denial and believes its everyone else's fault.

Low hp kiters of the respective level, and everyone else exping the normal way should without a doubt have priority. Any PLers should be respectful of that. Nothing is wrong with bards kiting. For the most part it is accepted as part of the classic game but it is true bards like you, Rojas, leave a sour taste in people's mouths.

Truth be told about you Rojas, speaking from expierence in my own interactions with you, you do distrupt the whole zone. You have been advised of ways to distrupt the zone less but choose not follow.

You go out of your way to pull every single mob up. Thus tying up the mobs for a long time while you take 30-40mins to pull. Do smaller pulls, don't pull everything up, you will find 2 reasonable size pulls in the same space as one of your whole zone pulls is about the same, yet much less disruptive. Kill quicker = more mobs for everyone and not be selfish and tying everything down.

Many bards snare PL in OT. They aren't seen flying off the rails in ooc, people like them. Them same cannot be said for you

I hope this post goes to RNF. Think it's hilarious that this fella made his own flame post about well... Himself

Just because they take 2mins to kill once AE snare kited, you sti tie them down while pulling so a kill would take you a minimum of 30 minutes

LOL, this made me giggle...weeks ago I started setting a 15m stopwatch...and when it goes off I pull; so this just... oh man, 30m+ Idk where yall hear this shit..but it really makes me giggle. I'd like to know where you get the 30m timer from, seeing as how I've never once seen you at our kill spot and I run see invis. I'm GUESSING you just assumed it...SURPRISE!

Im out Dostarr...gonna distance myself from this train wreck you have created. Good luck with your business but I won't be providing escrow for this anymore. Not that I have yet anyways.

Giving bards a bad name with this bullshit.

LOL Sorry Bob, Idk how it ended up like this. You talked to me, I'm decent. I've always been respectful in OT. There's a few bards who don't know how to play their class I've bitched at but...that's really it. My attitude is toxic, because it gets old...Even on this thread, all this hate and I've never done anything wrong. Using the cyclical logic that because my attitude is toxic now that caused my attitude being toxic is a bit laughable. You can't presuppose a conclusion as a basis for your hypothesis in support of the conclusion. However yes, it is absolutely toxic now, rumour mail and facetious ignorance have led Rojas to being hated. So I will say this now, clear and concise.

The reason I made this thread, the point of treating bards like shit even when they are being decent, has never been shown to be more clear than by this thread. I was a nice bard, I did give a shit...But seriously? Whats the point in ATTEMPTING to be nice, when people still spread lies and make the same claims as if you HAD been a douche. I might as well be a douche and make more profit, if I am going to suffer the negativity regardless of my effort. Hence the point of this thread to begin with!! I noticed it happening. And now, due to all the BS, it has happened. I'm sure I still won't be a complete douche...but I'm not gonna spend an hour a day talking to groups..I'll just pull what I believe will leave them enough and be done with it. Sorry if it's not enough, feel free to msg me as always I'll be reasonable but..don't expect me to go out of my way for ya if ya act like the people in this thread. To those NOT in this thread//on forums...fuck, am I sorry. //endthread
