Look at it like this...

Player_0 is at work playing EQ....when the mob pops he quickly ALT Tabs to EQ and kills mob then goes back to his job until the mob spawns again.

Player_1 isn't at work while playing EQ...when the mob pops he waits in-game for the mob to repop again.

You see the problem?

Player_0 is automating part of the process, Player_1 isn't.

Play it, or don't play it.

If you're gonna work, then work, if you're gonna play EQ then play EQ.

Playing EQ at work unless it's on a lunch break is dishonest.

We are in hell though, where dishonesty is normal.

There's no Head Chef in hell, that's why, just a bunch of cuck imposter chefsplaying make believe.

they have somehow been led to belief it's their god given right to disrupt a zone

There is just a tiny little caveat here : that's no zone disruption at all.

Back on Sullon Zek when Fansy was wrecking havoc in Rivervale with the faction-song affected PoD and killing every single player that dared to zone in (even for CR), THAT was zone disruption.

What is player 0 automating
How is staring at a different screen and clicking the buttons every 6:40 any different than staring at a eq wall and clicking the buttons every 6:40

You're removing part of the pain process...the waiting game.

No pain should mean no gain.

It's cheating really.

When there's 30 players all standing in front of the bank in POK creating lag for people who are not AFK while they are AFK all night, that's zone disruption pal.

I like how some modern games have a solo mode where you can't see or interact with other players.

I did an /auction in EC and several days later a player asked me if I still had the item for sale.

He told me saw my auction and character name is on a 3rd party web site.

Why TF is my auction and character name on an external 3rd party web site???

How did it get there??
