Good post.

yeah, the occupy thing was bullshit. all the people who were actually struggling with money couldnt make it to the protest because they had to show up for their shit jobs. so then the protests were comprised solely of college aged hipsters from wealthy families recording police brutality on their brand new iphones. they kinda discredited themselves.

It has always been this way in EverQuest, and in any MMO. If you want to be casual - then accept the fact that you will not see end game content. Dont go tugging on your mums dress sobbing that it isn't fair.

While there is some vocal crying (chest), the majority of the 'filthy casuals' don't give enough of a shit to take any action one way or another due to the nature of the casual to not want to be a fucking basement-dwelling neckbeard in order to get some pixels.

That said, if something were to happen that enabled the 'filthy casuals' to get a shot at some dragons without the added corporate-level workload of dealing with hardcore raiders, I'm sure they'd welcome it with open arms and it'd begin to work out wonderfully.

If only there was a rotation 1/3 of the time or something... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No modern MMO is like that. You can play wow for 2 hours a night and still see all of the content. Yeah you won't be beating heroics but they're the same fight with higher tuned mechanics. They have shit tuned down to where you can pug all raid content, you get shittier gear but you've still seen it all.

EQ isn't a modern MMO though. Without instanced content guilds like IB/TMO/Nihilum can grab every spawn just to keep anyone else from getting it. I'm surprised these guilds are still socking Kunark 3 years later when the expansion only lasted 7 months on live and a few of them call people irrelevant/non-factors like it fucking matters that you're geared out in Elf sim. 32K dragons aren't hard, most of us were killing them 14 years ago with less game knowledge than we have now. Guess the RMT profits are good enough when you're living in your parent's basement with nothing to spend money on besides Doritos and Mt. Dew though. Maybe they're just cunts. Who cares?

I really couldn't give a fuck less though. I barely play this shit and never did get a toon to 60 on this box. Doubt I ever will but some people want to relive the nostalgia...or they just take this shit too seriously.

2/10 on your troll post btw. Sweet DBZ reference though, never seen that one used before.

In fairness, EQ does put some stress on the sock budget. And pretending to respect drugged out neurotic rednecks in vent chips away at your soul. But it is all rewarded when your guild kills one of the 5 different colors of block-shaped dragon and some pixels drop that help you kill the next trivial block dragon 2 seconds faster.

The exhilaration is amazing. The feeling of preventing casual shitstains from obtaining my level of gear is almost as fulfilling as standing in ec counting inspects. The filthy communists want rotations and parity, but my guild stands astride Mt. Shit, with at least a dozen TRUE sperglords in our ranks, with ACTUAL diagnoses and Abilify scrips. Why the FUCK would we slow down in our DOMINATION of this CHALLENGING game?!
WE HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO KILL BETWEEN SHIFTS AT APPLEBEES HITTING +3 MINUTES ON THE MICROWAVE. OH FUCK PLEASE LET ME DIE. I HAVE PLAYED EQ SO MUCH THAT IT IS THE ONLY THING I FEEL NOSTALGIA FOR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF I DIDN'T REPETITIVELY SLAY DRAGONS WITH MY BAND OF MATES OH GOD PLEASE KILL ME AFTER THESE DORITOS AND MY ALTS EPIC

I feel like there's been a lot less bitching from either side of the spectrum lately. I don't see any X GUILD ACCUSES Y GUILD OF FOUL PLAY IN THE LATEST DRAGON RACE posts from the last week, two weeks....

I drink almond milk, but thx you are dumb.
