wow i can see the "we all get trophies now" generation has come of age.

Right before the "instant gratification" generation, which seems to have now found p1999.

Semi non-sequitur: Has anyone seen the new Pizza Hut commercial where the two little league baseball kids are like "When we lose, its not all bad, because our coach takes us to Pizza Hut after a tough loss." Its been on basically every commercial break in the Stanley Cup Finals. Did that piss anyone else off? They LOST; they should get nothing and like it!

They lost at baseball but won at life. This teaches children a valuable lesson... Pizza hut = win

Yes that commercial annoyed me as well. In little league I played for the local ice cream shop's team, and if we won we'd get free ice cream after the game. IF WE WON.

People are weak nowadays. Although I don't agree with the OP.

You're assuming the coach takes them to Pizza Hut to treat them to pizza. Maybe he beats their asses for losing and locks them in the freezer for a few hours while he pigs out on some breadsticks & marinara sauce.

Little league is srs bzns. If you don't win, you have failed at life and deserve to be punished.

Well I have to say that this is a great and shining example of how to not introduce yourself to a community.

Example fail: Hi gais! I hate the way you run things here, so I think I will pontificate from on high on how things should be done, according to MY vision!
Also, I will insult everyone who doesn't share my omniscient vision by telling them that they are unemployed losers. I will also post like a 3rd grader, then tell people I was responsible for a nuclear reactor!

Example win: Hey everyone! I am new here, and I am not sure what the culture is like here, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be great appreciative. I am used to a more aggressive environment like the Zeks, so bear with me while I change my mindset to a more PVE inclined group.

I think example win is a far better choice.

With all doe respect Yukface, your way off base thinking that there are no camps in EQ, Players, guides and GM enforced 'camps'. I was thee and saw many times, a gm would intervein and settle a camp disagreement and it was always in favor of those already there as long as they were able to hold it. Somewhere along the way the GM's stop interveining and let the guides deal with it which didn't get anything resolved. It sound like you just want to justify leap-frogging anyone who is camping the spot you want. Not everyone belongs to a large guild that can rally enought to take a camp, some have to work harder to take and hold a camp with fewer people and perhaps solo, they deserve to at least try and hold the camp. Instead of looking for a way to skirt the rules why not just help them and once they get what they were after i sure you'll be free to hold it yourself.

Yeah i know i didn't spell check, but i'm sure you can get the point.
