I don't disagree with you that the Crown of Rile is a nice thing to have. I disagree with your argument that it in any way resembles progression or is otherwise necessary to compete. The Crown was a status symbol. It meant you beat Kunark. The game has moved on. If you can abuse it to gain an advantage on people without one, go for it. Nothing more classic than that. But this type of min max escalation is more a product of our fucked up raid scene unique to P99. I don't see spamming an invis breaker to make a guaranteed train otw to securing a FTE being very classic, but maybe that's me being dense.

I can see where you are coming from. However, I will point out that no matter what you use trains will result from these races. Each zone has see invis mobs and KoS mobs that are unavoidable on the paths of these races. I do disagree that a Crown of Rile is only a status symbol. It is a pretty powerful item that has a LOT of uses in classic everquest. We just have different opinions about this I guess.

I am not into doing favors for people who can't put in effort to do things themselves.

Funny before I even saw your post I was thinking to myself "Why the fuck am I defending myself against this braindead fuck that thinks Crown of Rile was designed for FTE races and that facetracking for 16 hrs is perfectly normal/acceptable behavior and all the casual guilds are assholes for wanting to experience the game without resorting to all these absurd tactics?"

The answer? I really don't have one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You really are grasping for someone to agree with you who doesn't share your guild tag aren't ya ? I'm sure the red guys are a good route to go for that...Good thinking.

I'm guessing all this whining is something to do with not doing very well in the raid scene and wanting a rotation...well you dun goofed on the last one so good luck getting another chance.
