What attitudes and philosophies do you hate in P1999?

[sox7d]

Girls getting shit for being girls online probably happens all the time and it must be annoying to get messaged every time you log in by people you grouped with, but I wouldn't be surprised if they sometimes like the attention.

I was playing LoL last night with two of my friends and two wringers. Wringer1 starts shit talking me for not helping their lane and I call them out on not having personal responsibility. Shit gets heated and wringer1 then says, "kelly, these guys are assholes."

Most obvious bait I'd ever seen in my life, but I just ignored it rather than biting and saying "no wonder u suck, its cuz ur girl, girl don't play games, go make me a kitchen and get back in the sandwich! LOL"

Not to mention when I ran the video game club at my university. Some tumblrina came in, we welcomed her and she said, "Oh, I'm not here to play, I'm just here to observe sexism in the gaming community for my sociology project." I was fucking pissed but two of the club officers were also on the tumblr feminism kick at the time and said she could go for it. Apparently I was the only one who thought it was fucked up that someone would come into a club and say, "I got a hypothesis that you guys are assholes, mind if I stick around and record it?" Later found out she didn't find any instances of sexism and had to switch topics, rofl.

I know a lot of female gamers, and only one of them (one of the funniest/most-grounded people I know) plays male characters because they don't like the treatment.

But seriously, I never believe anyone saying they are a girl.

Too many dudes playing female characters and lying hoping a lonely nerd gives them stuff.

Interesting that you mention that; there's a sociology paper by Amy S. Bruckman [LINK] which touches on this and implies a way to tell the difference.

Many people, both male and female, enjoy the attention paid to female
characters. Male players will often log on as female characters and behave
suggestively, further encouraging sexual advances. Pavel Curtis has noted
that the most promiscuous and sexually aggressive women are usually played by
men. If you meet a character named "FabulousHotBabe," she is almost certainly
a he in real life.

Mostly had good experiences on this server so far.

But, by far, the worst has been running to Inn #1 in EC with 2+ lions/lionesses expecting the guard to kill them just to get there in time to see a halfling druid strike him down, loot, and run away.

Welp, I guess I have a good landmark for where my body will be.

This happened to me the other day only I was on the other side.

I was trying to buy gear on my alt and while waiting decided to train a weapon skill on one of the guards. I saw a lowbie training a few cats toward the guard while it was still aggroed on me. I tried to kill the pumas for him in the guard's stead but failed to kill them before he died. I felt really bad...

1) Powerleveling
2) people who put prices in their auctions thinking it will sell the item quicker (hint: it won't!)
3) people who use the words guy, bro, pal, or friend.

I'm not your friend, guy.

I'm pretty sure they include the price so they don't need to see the 6 messages saying how much? People can offer or not now, bro

Maybe its because I have quite a few friends in portland and the rest are still college students, but my facebook news feed has been nothing but "NEW STUDY FINDS 90% OF MEN WOULD RAPE IF THEY WOULDN'T GET CAUGHT" "Why male privilege is THE reason you aren't happy with your life," "If you're white, your opinion is completely invalid, here's why" articles for the last 2 years. Anyone that disagrees with them gets a fedora affixed to their head and a beard sewn into their necks.

Lol wtf. Not even close to reality. Ps the people on your Facebook are scum . So that's what I hate

So basically removing the map allows you to more effectively be an an exclusionary elitest? That's the only benefit I can see from being able to tell who knows the layout of the area anymore. And how would using in game maps prevent a person from becoming a better player or from learning the areas any more than wiki maps do?

Also I am not saying I'm a perpetual newb and touting it as a badge of honor,I'm just being honest; I've never,not even in my years of live (late velious - gates of discord or Ldon, forget) made it to sixty and I am perpetually relearning the game.

Actually perhaps I should wear it as a badge of honor, means I haven't beens pending the last 20 years playing the same game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]



qq we've read it all before doesn't mean we have to agree that adding maps = making eq easy. That was just one of the changes that came along with the changes that ruiend the game for you apparent oldschool hardcores, and you get butthurt at anything that resembles Luclin and beyond, regardless as to whether or not it's what actually ruined the game (it didn't)

The game was good till GoD.. But best up to and including Velious.
Maps are for pussies. And I use mine on my iPad beside me. Makes zero difference.
I hate people that hate that we don't have maps to hate

This.
It grates me when females take every opportunity to let you know they are female. In my guild on live there used to be quite a few of us but one certain woman would mention it every day.....taking advantage of those poor guys that would get excited at the thought of a girl being online, encouraging the sleazy tells that they sent making them think that this was ok resulting in the rest of us getting them.

On topic:

1. Hybrid hate / shared xp penalty fear (players w/ penalties effectively consume xp as if they were 2 or so levels higher. That's it).
2. NBG fanaticism and other exploitations of sound logic applied to false premises.
3. EQcommerce hate - if you don't like a price, don't accept it. There is no reason to b offended.
4. Legitimization of exploits due to classic nature.

Agree with all these, but #3 specifically...

If you don't want to haggle or your not flexible on your prices, just auction that... "10k firm" is simple enough. Then you can complain about those that ignore that... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The expectation that people shouldn't haggle either way is crazy to me. Your not the only one with the item. /shrug

If you really think it's difficult to discern your location by cross referencing a map.. I'm afraid you don't know the meaning of adversity.

I think there is a point that's being missed. It's not about what you can do OUT of the game. The server admins and players can't stop you from doing every thing in RL that may give you an advantage in play. They can try to stop boxing, RMTing, scripting, and or other exploits that are considered unfair or give you an advantage (even small ones!). Realistically they can't stop every thing though. Nor is it worth attempting to do so. Reward vs gain. What they can do is take a stance by choosing not to have the option provided by the game.

If you want to use "cheat*" websites with maps and quest walk thrus.... there isn't much Devs or players can do to stop you. They certainly don't need to add it to the game, which would clearly suggest they "condone" it.

So if maps in game doesn't make a diff for you... then stop "cheating*" and don't use them out of game, unless you drew them yourself!

*The term "cheat" or "cheating" is used in reference to websites and publications in the time frame of p99 using this term to describe themselves, by providing detailed walkthrough information and guides including maps for many multiple games. It's NOT a reference to using scripting or violation of EULA agreements.

Girls play P99?

*heavy breathing*

So sad to see nerds get all horny because a girl is playing the same game as them. One of my buddies girlfriend (who was actually really attractive) played wow and lots of nerds would instantly send her tells when she logged on. She joined a guild which on their forum had a RL pic thread and after she posted hers... omg... the amount of stuff she was giving... THE AMOUNT OF PIXELS AND GOLD WAS BLINDING, people were literally begging her to group with them. And those poor nerds never heard her laugh and make fun. She knew the benefit she just obtained and used it to the fullest extent. She was a good player too in her defense. so sad, and yes im jelly for all the free pixals i dont get ;p

But seriously, I never believe anyone saying they are a girl. Too many dudes playing female characters and lying hoping a lonely nerd gives them stuff. Wish I could get my gf on the EQ train, then we could split all the free pixels she gets.
