Am I the only one who has noticed that the people that bitch the most about welfare pixels and "loot vending machines" are the ones that usually come off sounding like the most self entitled pricks on the forums/server?

Gets worse when you realize Maner doesn't actually do anything to earn those pixels he is trying to hoard himself. He neither tracks nor FTEs, just answers batphones, no different than 99% of the people in the endgame. He just floats by on the backs of those who do. He's just a warm body, and proud of it, lol.

So why does he deserve pixels more than other people? God only knows... it's not a rational mind we are dealing with here.

I remember on EQ2, I was in a PVP guild. It was great. We had a really close-knit fun guild, and we really only had one guild that competed against us.

To make a long story even longer, we accrued PVP gears very fast because all we did was PVP, and we became even stronger than ever with these uber PVP gears on.

Not long after we had been dominating people hard, we were all chatting in guild chat etc., and I said something regarding skill and others in our guild, and it came off very egotistical and when I had said it, I didn't even realize it. It wasn't until the GL who was a good pal of mine said something along the lines of, "huh, now that you got all those uber gears you sure sound full of yourself."

I then took a step back, looked at how I was talking to my own guild, and realized that he was right. I was sounding like some conceited, uppity prick and prior to this point I never thought and acted like that.

This really struck me profoundly tbh. I understood then how INGAME pixellated items and notoriety really can influence and alter a gamer's perspective of not just themselves but even other people.

Ever since then, I always tried to put things in proper perspective as best as I could.

I just think guy's like Maner have lost the ability to do this, they truly have lost sight of the big picture, and even of themselves. Their brains really are floating in pixels and it has altered their perspectives and not in a good way.

If only you knew what you were talking about. I don't have anything close to the best gear and maybe have BIS in one slot but yes, it must be all about the pixels lol. Unlike you though, I'm not so obsessed with a emu server that ihave to stalk its forums when I don't even play there.

Mobile sucks for these forums

Are you mentally challenged? If so, then I apologize.

I honestly think you have some sort of learning disability you always have the same canned responses to people who are critical of what you write, "if you only knew what you were talking about."

FYI, I play on the server.

Would help if you bothered to read before posting. I never said I deserved anything over other people. I used to track when it was instant pulls, but these racing rules took the fun out of it so I just respond to batphones when I can. Perhaps the real problem is that you seem to think you deserve something for doing nothing. I am a member of AM and I have been since it was formed. The fact that you're so focused on me just proves you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Who is the irrational one though? The kid who keeps posting even though he doesn't play here? Or the person who has hoarded 9 items in over 2 years? Lmfao you're a joke not to mention terrible at trolling. Spend some tome on Reddit and learn how to actually troll people.

Why is this even a thing? On a server that is so overcrowded at the end game why make it this easy for a few people to lock down targets like minis in Hate? Set them to spawn at random times and let them spawn randomly at any of the mini spawn points so people don't just show up minutes before the spawn time and squat on the spawn location to kill them..locking out everyone else from the content...even when they are already clearing the damn zone.


Don't ever bother posting again.Your opinion will never, ever matter here.

Or even better just tie the spawns to random trash mobs so you have to actually clear the damn zone to get them to spawn. Killing a trash mob has some % chance to spawn a mini near where the mob died (or at the nearest mini spawn location or something). That would be closer to what was intended anyway. This whole locking down minis thing and cockblocking people from their epics then selling the MQ back to them for ludicrous sums of plat is ridiculous.

You want/need a mini you should have to clear the zone or join a raid/group that is clearing the zone. The game shouldn't cater to people who just want to MQ all items they can get their greedy mitts on.
