Are you kidding me?

Forum bots always make sense....They are using a script that someone has pre-written and been reviewed for thousands of users. You are right about one thing though, I won't take the time to dissect every sentence someone says like you do (This doesn't make you any less annoying or right). You're one of those guys that takes anything anyone says literal even if that wasn't the purpose. I guarantee you if I did a live feed and asked you several mechanic questions on EQ, you wouldn't be able to answer them. Now I bet you if I ask someone on the higher scale of A/A, they would have no problem.

Let me break this down for you. If anyone and everyone can do what they are doing and it doesn't take time to learn mechanics to give you an advantage, then how come the same guilds get the same mobs every run? How come sometimes guild A (who has 40 people logged in) vs guild B (who has 100 people logged in) but the lesser still gets the kill?

If you think there isn't any mechanic knowledge let me pop quiz you on live stream, if you won't do that....then shut the fuck up.

Wow. This is some grade A delusional ego right here. Someone needs to get out from behind their keyboard more. I mean you seriously, unironically believe that the reason A/A win almost everything is because they know the mechanics of the mob better. Seriously, I am literally laughing out loud at you right now.

Hate to be the one to tell you this, kiddo, but raiding in EQ aint hard. Most of us have done these encounters before your daddy ever let you touch his computer. What is "hard" is getting past the level of bullshit that you, as a neckbeard, cant even see.

But hey I am all for pretending that you are right! It's just those "difficult mechanics" (of door opening?) and knowledge thereof that are really separating the guilds. This would completely translate to the same overwhelming success with just one or two racers and low variance. Sounds like A/A would have nothing to worry about! Lets do it, Sirken, let this neckbeard prove his arrogance and lets see if the outcome is the same dominance when the advantage of number of tracking and fteing neckbeards is taken away.

Lol. EQ raids hard. That is a good one.

You sound like you are new to EQ. I'm not going to make this response too long because it's probably way over your head anyway. A/A has been winning the mobs since inception. The guild names are different but its still the same core people who learned from each other. From TR to IB to TMO to Forsaken to Rampage and everything in-between. They have limited FTEr's, they have allowed train fests, they have changed the FTE rule - the outcome is still the same, those who love this game too much and put in the time - win the mobs. You changing the rules has nothing to do with it, you can change them anyway you like minus giving away mobs and the outcome will be the same.

Last comment, unrelated but just wanted to point it out - calling people kiddo and neck-beard when you don't know who they are, makes you sound stupid. It's a comment someone who was 6 when EQ was released would say or just someone who never grew up.

I know you won't listen because you think you have an answer for everything but......I wouldn't mind the raid rules getting changed just so I could have a good laugh at your expense when it doesn't pan out the way you thought. Also if you were playing and beating this game when I was a kiddo, you should have no problem knowing raid mechanics and coming on a live stream.

I never thought I'd agree with this guy, but most of what he says here is right. The reason I said give the casuals a raid week out of every 6, is because I know what some of them don't want to admit, that we will always win a equal playing field because we have more dedicated players that have a very specific skill set that is hard to learn anywhere else.

Throw random stuff, hope something sticks! Time honored classic.

Yep, they have always had the most no life neckbeards to ensure pixel superiority, and once you have it, it snowballs because having it makes keeping it easier. I take it you were never perceptive enough to notice this? Glad I could educate you a bit then!

And yet you quickly leap to Maner's defense despite having done exactly the same thing first! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're a hypocrite if you don't. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't really need to worry about it, it already has. Even under half sane conditions (not fully sane because still 16 hour variance, but not having to sit racers against 20+ other people), my guild routinely holds its own in FTEs. Sorry to burst another one of your bubbles!

Maybe? Who knows? Since you've never actually managed to establish relevance by showing how I am costing my guild mobs by a lack of mechanical knowledge, who cares? Without that, you're nothing more than the pigeon knocking over the chesspieces, shitting on the board, and strutting around like you won. We might as well settle it by a streetrace for all the relevance it has. Lol

The ones that put in the effort for tracking and devote their lives to this game, should be rewarded more. There are plenty of ways to snipe mobs outside of ToV which will get you better at pulling and become more efficient.

The forums depress me sometimes - might be time to evac out of Norrath

without GM enforcement, ya

Suggesting anything working here without enforcement here would be similar to saying "if you break the rules please remember to take a week off on your own because you deserve punishment, this applies to guilds too not just individuals"

[Redi]

gms only enforce forum chat

The reality is that I'll probably pass out on the couch while watching Thomas and Friends: Day of the Diesels.

Could always open another TOV zone so there is 2 and do a rotation. After all, nothing is classic about this server.

I think we can all agree Mistle and JCR are idiots in the thread at least.
