What attitudes and philosophies do you hate in P1999?

[firesyde424]

People who roll on items that another class in the group needs, because that item is worth a lot.

Breath of Harmony dropped? What's that bard? It's a serious upgrade from your Crystalline Blade? But it's worth 5K! How can you be so greedy as to ask for that bard only weapon to replace your current weapon when I, the wizard, need it to sell so that I can finally afford that manastone I've been saving up for. Here, you can have this Ykeshan War Club, it's only worth 80 plat.

It's hypocritical to let the monk have the Baton of Faith if he can use it, that's only worth 100pp or so. But when a tstaff drops, everyone rolls because it's worth 30K.

Basically the argument people will give you is this:

5k is 5k. Whether it's in the form of a Breath of Harmony to that bard, a Band of Eternal Flame to that wizard, Cobalt Vambraces to the Warrior, a pair of SoS to a Monk, or Golden Efreeti Boots to a Druid. Sure it takes time to sell then buy. But every item with monetary value can be transformed into something useful for most everyone in the group.

I tend to think that's a fair assessment. What grinds my Vermiculated Tunic, is when people roll on something like an epic piece MQ. Probably most specific would be the KC Pipe for Monk Epic. Yes, you can sell them for a few thousand plat. But if a monk is attempting to do his epic legit IMO let him have it. If he already has his epic or no monk is in group, yea roll to sell the MQ.

I'm in agreement with you. I always consider whether and individual truly needs an item before rolling on it myself. I understand why people would go that way on something worth 30k, but at the same time I don't like it. Problem is with an item that valuable the odds that they're going to actually use it instead of sell it are pretty low.

So basically if an item isnt worth more than 1k I'm all about giving it up tot he class that needs it, beyond that.. sorry, but I dont trust you to keep it after "need"ing it.

This is a pretty illegitimate complain unless you agree on NBG ahead of time or it is implicit (when with friends/guildies)

4-People who think that waking up at 5AM ... is called "Competing" ... makes them superior

and the same goes for RL. Sometimes it is nothing more than the person who is willing to sacrifice the most.

Very basic principle.

1-GMs not taking responsibility for their mistakes/bad decisions and then not doing a thing to fix the awful community/endgame they set up

2-GMs acting angry and confused that they have to spend 50% of their time babysitting/petitionquest with end game guilds, when it is them who set up the raid system this way

People thinking they're entitled to anything from GMs working on a game they don't pay for.

People thinking they're entitled.

Note that people who point fingers at specific groups/individuals/policies and make snarky comments about "welfare" and "effort" typically display attitudes rooted deeply in their own sense of entitlement.

This is not p99 specific tho.

This game brings out people's inner 15 year old. That's true for me sometimes, too.

I think some of the original attitudes toward Verant were a big part of how people experienced original EQ, and that's carried over as well. I used to read Furor's rants on the Fires of Heaven boards, myself.
