In your mind, is cheating on a final exam more skillful than learning the subject through the course? Or speedrunning a game using bugs / glitches vs going through it normally at just a rapid pace?

Its subjective in nature, some would argue that cheating successfully is more skillful than taking a test normally. Some would say that being able to study and learn material is more skillful than spending 2 hours the night before printing out a soda bottle label of answers.

In regards to your comments, the challenge in raid encounters in general (across pretty much any MMO) has to do with coordination.

EQ has very simple mechanics, among which all you pretty much have to do (besides tank / heal / dps) is either run out of sight every few seconds or push a mob in a circle.

The skill factor in EQ comes more from attempting things with fewer people (which, again, in my opinion is more time-based than skill based as more time playing means you have better gear / clickies) or doing things fast.

Doing the crawl is more attempting to complete a dungeon as the original devs intended rather than pulling a dragon 4000 loc away from its lair into the entrance where 200 people are waiting to poke it to death.

Again, it's fine if your vision is that competition and cheesing exploits for efficiency is fun and skillful. It's not mine.

(I disagree with you saying dungeon crawling isn't difficult. Im pretty sure most people would agree dungeon crawling is far more difficult than pulling to entrance).

I for one enjoy arguing about this stuff so don't take it the wrong way. But you are right we do have very different ideas about this stuff. However, I think your point about communication is correct.


I would recommenced however you attempt these kind of pulls before you write them off as simple.

Raiding is so easy because when you pull something out of a train, then pull it off the guy who pulled it out, the aggro is lost on the original train. The designers knew this and tried to experiment with aggro linking but it's still pretty primitive in this expansion. But if you were brand new to EQ raiding and saw the massive, dumb train of mobs running around entire zones you would think it looks pretty stupid.

OP I highly recommend checking out the wiki guild list: http://wiki.project1999.com/Guilds:Guild_List

As you can see it organizes guilds in to Casual (where you are now), Raid, and Top-Content Raid guilds. As others have mentioned, Raid guilds won't be interested in you at your level, so you really want to look at the guilds in the Casual section until you get to at least level 40, or preferably 45 (the min level to enter the planes).
