Why do the casuals deserve free pixels? There are levels of depravity reached on this server that is abdolutely sickening.

If these people want to spent 16 hours waiting for a flash of wings/teeth to appear let them be rewarded for it. We've seen multiple generations of these nerds come and go.

Rotations dont appeal to me, equal competitive statutes are the way to go. If you want end game, you know which guilds experience it on a weekly basis. Else wise, pull up those boot straps, tighten them laces, and win your guild an hour to kill highly sought after pixels

Also, why do people keep spelling pixels wrong in this thread? Is pixils some kind of Euro thing or just stupidity?

Its the metric system for measuring pixels.

They aren't free. They still have to compete with each other a actually kill the mob.

The reason we should make it so 1/6 of the pixils are off limits to the hardcore, is because I believe the vast majority of people that play this GAME, want the GAME to work that way, so they will have more fun in the GAME.

Fact: a lot of people that oppose rotation were in no way instrumental to why A/A are in the position they are in, and have little justification for their sense of entitlement.

Maybe my reading comprehension is off. What does this mean?

It means that there are a lot of people that leech off trackers, leaders and FTE players in the top guilds, and then adopt this "they got to earn it" attitude about getting 1/6 the pixiles.

So you think people that show up to their job and wait for handouts deserve a raise? I know its a poor analogy game/job bit that's the reality. You want people to be rewarded for simply waiting, when those willing are putting in very high levels of "competition" to secure the pixels for their guild mates and themselves sit back and do what?

If you want endgame join AA. Otherwise avenues have been created allowing entry to even the most casual of guilds.

Imagine if this shit was proposed during the TMO era of raid domination. Lol. Good luck convincing them to let casuals into VP. Same applies to ntov

No, to your first question.

Why I'm saying is that calling this behavior competition is silly. It's not real competition. The 'waiting' is not competition. The run up, pulling mobs, FDing, or anything involving actually doing actions on the keyboard could be considered competition. Overall though, EQ is not a game designed for competition, and I feel bad for the people that have created this current 'competition' and the lifestyle that leads to success in this 'competition'.

I don't care who gets what on this server, but I feel bad for the people that are willing to stare at their screen for 10+ hours. There isn't a lot of human or life value added in that type of behavior. They are the real losers in this situation.

Can atleast respect TMO for being brutally honest; and Zealot in particular who quite openly would say that he'd play dirty or clean to make sure tmo and no one else got the pixels. a/a leadership make vague platitudes about wanting a better server, but rly its all just bollocks so long as they get their pixels.

I hated C/R distinction. Class C should be casual and Class R should be raiders. Bugs me to no end.
