Players will always compete for raid mobs; the point of contention is the rules - Page 32

Don't get me wrong. I know the raid scene here is a nightmare. And I can see why they do it. They have real lives and not the time to baby sit. But with the hands off attitude Nilbog, Rogean, Sirken has it is likely not to change until Velious comes out. And that will be a new pissing contest.

EQ has Always leaned toward the high end raiding guilds and you guys that have played for years know that. If you loose your Hardcore players your server goes to crap.

Wat?

To play professional sports, if players don't practice, they don't play. Are you and Vianna from the same dodo bird planet?

I don't really understand what you're not getting, Nietche.

The point is what I've already said twice. Both baseball and Everquest, to be successful at either, requires time and effort--both falling under the umbrella of "preparation."

I don't think Loraen is talking about success, I think he is talking about fun. It's obvious what it takes to be successful at EQ, but i think the general population would agree the cost of that success is not fun.

I can suck at baseball but still have a fun time and a chance to play.

Just own up to your god awful analogy!

Success = fun. When's the last time you lost at a game all the time and still had fun?

For the like the one hundredth time in this thread, you are twisting the words coming out of my mouth. It's just mind boggling to see you misquote me again and again and then call me a liar and a dodo when you have mental capacity of a cabbage. Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect I'm sure you think I'm just trolling you, but step back from forumquest for a second and consider the fact that everyone else in this thread has been disagreeing with everything you've said, and ask yourself: are you the genius set upon by dunces, or are you the dunce?

I said sports, not professional sports. And I said that for a reason, because I don't think playing Everquest should require the same time commitment as professional sports . . . as I stated earlier in one of my posts. Not to mention that as I and others have pointed out practice and tracking are not even remotely similar. Also I have fun all the time when I don't win, as long as I and my team played reasonably well and got the endorphins flowing. Sometimes the other team is just better than you, and if you actually played sports in even a rec league you would know what this feels like.

Anyway, you win. I'm tired of trying to sledgehammer ideas into the iron ball you call a brain. Congratulations.

Not similar? They are similar in the very point I pointed out numerous times now: in terms of preparation. To be successful at either baseball or Everquest, you must put in the time necessary to get there. In baseball, players watch film (which takes time away from actually playing). In Everquest, players track (which takes time away from actually playing).

Yes, I do think you're a dunce.

When you're at the point of the debate where you are likening P99 to professional sports, you should probably just quit.
