Your mentality is exactly what's wrong with this server.
You have to keep in mind Maner literally said EQ was life. You cannot reason with an irrational person via rationality.

Nah kid. I said that as in life what you get out of a game like Everquest is directly proportionate to how much time and effort you put forth. That doesn't mean EQ is life it means that it shares that same principle with real life.

Now please learn to read and try not to take your liberally minded ignorance and spin what I say. Go back to phiny with the rest of BDA who couldn't cut it.

'Cept that isn't particularly true either on P99 or out in the greater world. Progression on P99 is determined mostly by what guild a player chooses to join; success in the larger world depends primarily on the wealth of one's parents. The few exceptions to either simply serve to illustrate the general trend.

-------------------------------------------------

As for the raid situation....I've said it before, I'll say it again, the folks who want change are going about it wrong when they try to work within the system. Leave, organize a mass exodus, have a sit-in, do *something*. They'll continue ignoring you until you make yourselves impossible to ignore. If change can be made--that's debatable at this point--it'll take some sort of shock to motivate it. Nice guys finish last. I don't much care one way or the other--I don't raid to any great degree and don't plan on doing so--but I feel bad when I see decent folks like CSG beating their heads against the probverbial wall.

Nilbog has said he won't ever make changes to his vision of classic and if that means people leave the server so be it. He's not here to make people happy. No reason not to think the current shitshow raidscene falls into the same category.

Having said that there is precedent for change in the form of the class system that came in. Unfortunately that silver lining is a few years down the line.

Couldn't cut it? Lol this isn't some prestigious accreditation or test, it's about a central gang of about 200 players without lives who control a server of 1000 because they bitch and whine the most.

You're not doing anything impressive by sitting in NToV waiting for some bullshit COTH pull, you're doing NOTHING

the only thing that real life and eq have in common is that your government subsidies pay for both

That would require actual skill outside of not having a job.
