Sorry i work for a living and provide bread for my family. I cannot stare at a wall multiple 16 hours a week and pull at 3 am to get emulated eq pixels. I’m truly sorry that there exists peole who do, though.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Who are you talking about exactly? The vast majority of ToV-raid capable guilds (probably all?) will happily take the initiative to acquire and earn finite resources in a fair environment.

But what you seem to be missing is there are 8 trillion and five (exact number) different "environments" those guilds could earn finite resources in. This new rule takes us from one of those 8 trillion and five to a different one, but it does nothing to eliminate "earning pixels".

You earn pixels by killing dragons, not by pooping in socks.

Miss me with that "we hung out in cyber cafes and would box each others character".. good for you but you didn't buy the damn things and they were not in your home.

TFW the cable guy comes out to instal your line and questions why you have so much ram.. "for a video game? RAM is expensive though"

On a side note - people are stupid. This is the exact argument that takes place in the US everyday and created the identity politics half you guys try to identify with.

Nothing is hard about this game. The game is a time sink and a hobby/obsession for some. If people choose to obsess or play this game 20 out of 24 hours in a day. God bless them and I hope they are the best. They should be. If you choose you don't want to do that, good for you. You shouldn't. Don't expect to be the best or raid.

Everquest is open world and was intended that way. Open world, to many peoples credit (Alex Afasabi thinks so still) was a great thing because you can be a hero in that game if you so chose to invest heavily. This is the simple principle of life. The more time you invest and the people you surround yourself with, will progress you. If you opt out of that and don't want to invest the time, that's your choice but don't be a whiny bitch about it. You have just as much capability as anyone else and if you enjoy the game so much to respond back on every post that thinks socialism is a terrible thing, you are probably the problem.

Also I'm putting a bid in that aaezil and wonkie are the same person or two like-minded idiots. Queue in both their responses in 5 minutes.

Heh, clearly you're new here. If you were a part of this community you'd know the two are not at all similar in their postings.

I love it. It's an absolutely terrible idea from every imaginable standpoint (too long because too many guilds, AM increased socking on non-ToV mobs)...but it will cause a ton of drama that will help me through my slow days at work.
