Hell if anything, if you are not raiding all the time then you are most likely farming and taking away spawns from people trying to have fun grouping and selling things over and over again bringing the economy down.
I don't mind finding deals in EC but it doesn't entitle you to be here more than anyone else. I personally do not get the "shit has be classic with classic obtrusive UI".
Its the 21st century and hardware just keeps getting better everyday. Why they hell would want to make my game look any worse than it is by being stuck in a 400 resolution viewable screen? Only a very small people opt to have this option, most of the rest of us are playing in resolutions up to 1080p with multiple chat windows so we can clean up spam.
I honestly do not remember what the target window showed back in '99, it was back in '99. I have some old screenshot laying around on my computer and I would have to go back and look at them. I do know all my windows in those screenshots have an opacity to them so I was not stuck in the 400x. Mostly likely learned very early on about the F10 feature.
The hitting C argument doesn't work for me either. One of the first things I do in "ANY" game that gives me the ability to alter key bindings is to do so. My C key is bound for one of the many slots on my hotbar just like Q,E,R,F,Z,X are.
Q slot 1
E slot 2
R slot 4
F slot 5
Z autorun
X slot 6
C slot 7
I did this back in "classic" days as well. I am a FPS foremost and binding keys in a game with first or third person view will always be rebound to shit that is useful instead of what the game normally has be doing.
Right click your mouse on the target then. Or bind your con key to another button.

sounds like a personal issue, there were only 6 hotkeys in classic/kunark anyway. 7-10 came with Velious UI.

So you got to enjoy the use of this feature and never bitched about it while leveling to 60. Now that you're at the top of the leveling curve you're all about making it more difficult for anyone else to catch up.

THIS, is classic. Problem for you Nirgon is how many of these white knights actually donate money to your little project here on a regular basis. Those of us who played this back in 1999 and weren't still waiting for pubic hair to grow like your current fan base was, make the $100 donations because WE CAN. You think by pissing us off you're going to continue receiving these kinds of donations?
I had to suffer from it being not classic longer is all I think about it.

If you don't like classic EQ, fine with me.

I agree this change is not a big deal at all. I'm used to pressing C for con but I played since early vanilla.

Now if they made us play 800x600 or did stuff that wasn't classic (ie make us play windowed but not transparent/full screen* UI) that would be harsh.

*on a quest to convince people that you could play full screen (not the stupid window) since day 1!

No I asked my guild and some people said they didn't remember it. As did someone in the tech forum said full screen was introduced in velious. LOL.
