Isn't it more like there's been a sandbox operating for 20+ years without welfare toys.
Recently, a couple people want to makes sure there are welfare toys in this sandbox for the poor kids even though there are sandboxes everywhere else that have plenty of welfare toys. These people want to go to the last sandbox without welfare toys and decide "hey this place should have welfare toys like every other sandbox!!"

Maybe I'm wrong, but that is kinda what it looks like.

It's definitely super important to gatekeep as much of the loot on a fake everquest server as you possibly can. That's a very normal and healthy thing that non-psychopaths do.

What gatekeeping? There are plenty of toys in the sandbox (mountains of toys after all these years even). There is no one stopping you from going out and getting all the toys you want. This is the way it has always been. That's uninstanced Everquest. Unless you are talking about that weirdo that says "warder loot" every post. For the past 5 years, its mainly just been Riot coordinating the zerg and doing the work to get the toys, and more recently Vanquish.

Instead of going and getting the toys just like Riot did for the past few years, you all want to change the rules for the only remaining unique sandbox so that the welfare toys can be given to you just like every other sandbox! Green2.0 might be a good idea if you guys are so bored on Blue you want to constantly change the rules.

It used to be the case that guilds would rise and fall, but now with all these changes of rooted dragons, bag limits, rotations, drafts, rolling for KT, etc. Everything has stagnated because there is enough of a pixel IV drip to keep any guild alive indefinitely, just soak the tracking roles and dump DKP when the welfare pixels come around! Over time, let's keep asking for more welfare pixels too!

Maybe I'm just and old man that is resistant to change or maybe you guys are trying to destroy the last reaming scraps of an attempt at a classic Everquest server. /shrug

Ya I really don't understand it, they could compete on targets and have a blast. Way more fun engaging the mob instantly with questionable numbers and pulling off a win...then just sitting in line waiting for hand outs..

The fact you equate pixels in a video game to handouts is sad. None of y’all are competing when it mattered, the game is long done now and you weren’t there. Consider competing when the server is fresh on yellow (you won’t). This isn’t competition we are in year 7 of farming content.

So in your mind, because you are done raiding, nothing else is competitive? Gtfo with that kind of thinking lol.

I like the rush of racing for the target.. sometimes you win, sometimes you wipe and other team picks it up...there is nothing else like it. I mean look at even velketor, he drops crap loot but is now one of the most fun engages lol. No game has that heart racing feeling, it's all instance crap besides here, why are y'all trying so hard to ruin it.

Do you really just want to have unlimited time to set up and kill targets? That's friggin boring lol. No heart racing or anything, just ok we slowed it and won yay...game would die and get old so fast.

It's not about pixals but it is clearly obvious that's what the people wanting handouts are after.

Myself and many others in competitive guilds are after the rush and the fun of trying to engage the target as quick as possible and not even fully ready / yolo it and sometimes you pull it off...that's the real fun[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not in my mind, the server is done tho, the timeline done, the sleeper is woke, the content is beat. You are in the farming stage of content after the progression is done. This is normal for all mmo after the first wave. Sorry you weren’t there.
