So how much dual boxing is there, or are they just AFK

[mgellan]

I advertise my auction and then read my ebook, watching for any white text in my chat box. If someone asks me specifically for a SOW I'll do it, but most of the time someone beats me to it...

Regards,

WIVES ARE NOT CLASSIC! There's a lot of silent wives out there who don't post here, don't say anything ingame and don't respond to tells. The guys gotta make up excuses like, "Oh yeah, she don't talk much. I keep her locked in the shed while she's not playing EQ." It does make me suspicious. But then again, who's to say they didn't legitimately get the IP exemption to start with and then wifey decided "this game sucks," and now, conveniently you have another box and a second account to use. In that case, it's only a matter of time before they are caught red-handed.

I noticed several newbs asking for buffs last night. In the amount of time they spent begging for buffs they could have had another level. Somebody was also begging for a port to Lavastorm for 45 minutes. WALK THERE, it's like 5 minutes away, jeez. Maybe people just ignore stuff they don't want to hear?

this and folks buying/selling in EC to upgrade gear in order to level always make me laugh.

In the amount of time you spent finding a bargain on an Obsidian Shard, then flipping it for cash for an SSB, then flipping that for cash for 2x Obsidian Shards -> you prolly coulda camped Yaks.

Right cuz if it didnt take me 45 mins to grind level 5 to 6 so i can do the orc camp for the 4th time, it wouldnt be an adventure! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Come on, you got like 50 geared toons there, youve done EC a bazillion times, you just wanna get into grouping, you cant really blame people who find lvl3-6 boring to death and lookin for buffs to speed things up.

Why doesn't anyone bother to use the audio triggers?

Just create one for "tells you" and you will receive a chime every time you get a tell.
That way you won't keep potential buyers waiting.

Well, yeah I can see that. But I get bored while looking for buffs and I hate to ask for favors. I guess I just don't have the patience for it. Maybe "my wife" should play, she can give me buffs.

I know you were trying to be sarcastic, but actually this describes my wife. As far as she's concerned we are playing an RPG together, Baldur's Gate style.

She has no real desire to interact with anyone, because frankly most of us are not that interesting to talk to. She's got one other female that she talks to, who coincidentally is not very vocal either. Believe it or not guys, when you prattle on all day in /ooc about penis size and who is gay/stupid/l33t it tends to turn women away from the community.

Moral of the story? Roll a mangina, I'll shower you with my 25 pt. DS all day

This is why I rolled a female. Who's going to say no to a buxom, green-haired ogre female?

I buff anyone who asks in a polite manner. If you're rude, then expect me to be afk.

I suspect that quite a few people park toons in EC just to log item prices when they aren't actively playing.
