what are you talking about tho, like where? If its like the pond in MM and youre like, no nobody can join us.. thats kinda lamers yea...

but if its like someone camping the exe/sage area duo for xp and fun, let the two boyfriends cybor.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people duoing an xp camp in Mistmoore, like Pond or Graveyard, or an xp camp in CoM like Stables or Temple and refusing to let other people into the group because they are duoing their twinks.

I think graveyard is ok, its pretty condensed in its own little area, so that one u gotta chalk up to there are lots of people here reliving eq on thier own terms [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

but yea once u get to com you start, well.. to just want to get that exp and doing a duo is fun for them. It can be frustrating when you have to wait for a group opening when someone is soloing an area often taken by a full 6 man group I know.

Ive duoed at the temple, soloed it even but I let people join me, even though I hope they will turn me down.. and after about 20 mins Id 50% of the time, log off and come back later.. because.. well if you saw the difference in xp gain when you are solo duo vs in a 4+ group.. and could solo duo? you would start to just realise 6 man grouping is kind of just not really worth it, if you don't have to.

I mean, yea the grind and playing EQ as a group is what its all about right? well kind of.. most of these people that you are talking about have ground 2 3 or maybe 4 toons on p99 and well, after you've done it once or twice, it looses its luster and you just want to get to that same level as all your friends who are lvl 60 so you can group with them again...

I mean, you're just gona have to expect that the server is a mixed bag of nuts, and sometimes the bowl you seek is in drooga, even though that's a long run from Mistmoore. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Rest assured those people duoing right now? will roll a rogue at some point and be stuck waiting on a spot in a group, while someone else (maybe even you!) is taking the temple to solo for an hour before dinner with their family.

bluetopia. it is real.

EXP penalties are very much classic and very much alienating of other players.

If you want a solo/group class that gets accepted no matter their gear or exp penalty, play a halfling cleric, human necromancer, or barbarian shaman. Pretty simple to discern especially as classic mechanics won't get changed here.

This is Project 1999, not Project 2004.

You're a druid; who gives a shit what other people do when you can solo to 60 faster than like 90% of the people in groups. Why would you WANT to group? Do you want to take longer to hit lvl 60? lol

"people don't play this game the exact same way i'd like to play it. somebody validate my self-centered opinion" - OP

i don't know what you're looking for, but you're not going to find any sympathy here. maybe play a class that's not fucking useless in a dungeon setting?

Shut up and port me.

It's an ideal and an honest concern, it's an honor system and more people should consider it honorable imo. To those saying "reroll or go solo to 60" you're missing the point, lol

Go play on RED.. they will want you in the group for the exp... and if they still dont... pk them when they have a few extra mobs aND claim the spot for your group..

Come to red! Be a sociopath! Don't you guys ever get tired of this mantra?

Also OP if you are going to bitch, at least bitch about people who are soloing. It's gonna get a lot worse.

I think most of the camps are designed for 2-3 man groups. For example com temple duo has just enough mobs for shm/mnk duo. Add a 3rd class and there will be a wait before the temple repops.
