P99 is a Meritocracy, not a Democracy

What is the merit here? Those with no lives that can poopsock for 18 hours a day? Or what we have more of which is people cheating in ways the Devs cannot detect allowing them to poopsock 24 hours a day? That isn't merit.

Dev's should just remove non classic variance, ban people as they claim they will do when cheating and lying.

That's not remotely how it works. People do 1-2 hours or whatever they can for the most part. I wish you kunark guys would understand that the game has changed, especially with 120+ active people in the top guilds. The only time a sock is called is within the last hour or so in window and it depends no the mob. Socks are mainly called for the competitive aspect and not the loot..such as a VS etc.

I agree with you on banning cheaters.

Perhaps we should ban everyone cuz aren’t we all about fairness. Start from scratch everyone’s toons banned with the server at end of its timeline. All new accounts made. Petitions galore cuz someone stole someone’s decaying skeleton.

Bah double sig.

VS and Fear golems are prime examples. No one needs any of that loot so much anymore, it's the competition that keeps it interesting.

No one needs epics?

Not really, they're trivial now at this stage in p99's timeline.

There's also that human factor which a lot of you wish to eliminate. Starting off a cycle well, momentum, stopping the bleeding figuratively, and a whole host of other dynamic qualities that come into play...all of them human.

No one can play at a 100% level forever, attrition occurs or people are doing RL stuff and not available. P99 is a game of cycles and people change cycles constantly. There's nothing wrong with it and it's completely natural.

If you think about TLP's, people always say "you have to get on the train while it's moving and not get left behind" and this accurate, just as it was on Live. If you get left behind, you don't get to participate in a lot of the content while the getting is good.

The same holds true for p99, yet that elasticity is much greater as the train can only go so far and while it does take longer, there is still a train. This phenomenon is noticeable after helping multiple hundreds of toons get their epics or on sky raids. It becomes more difficult to get people interested in doing those events as time goes on.

I would have put money down that your reply was going to be "warder loot something something dark side".

Thanks for proving me wrong hahaha
