TMO is not posting all over forums giving away free dragons so people like Byjurn are losing their mind , scrambling to find a way to win forum quest an get free loots.

Funny most the ones complaining are like this guy though...
Winga - 52 Barbarian Shaman <BDA> LOL
Go get level 60 , than come back and complain about raiding.
rofl @ level 52 wanting CT/Trakanon loots.
If you think its reasonable for level 60+ raid targets to be handed to casuals at level 52. Than YOU are a loser.
An there are plenty of games that suit your needs. Everquest is one of the few games that if you get the dragon loot, you know you worked for it. No casual is running around in a sexy PD robe. Everquest divides the Casual and Hardcore player nicely. You can tell who is what. You put in the time, you get the reward. But if you suck an stay at level 52 during 2+ EXP bonus events than you deserve level 52 and under content.

If you make the game easy mode you might as well rename it Classic EZ server.

This guy is obviously a coat tail rider supreme.

I remember killing dragons before lvl 60 during live. Your just a breed of the WoW elitist gamers. Let me guess you want a gear score mod and some damage meters too eh? Oh and btw I wouldn't call anyone a looser while your sitting on multiple lvl 60's LOL.

People want to experience classic EQ as they did back in the day but just don't have the classic amount of time to put in. Getting to lvl 52 is a task and a half for someone with few hours to play each week. You act like everyone has as much time on their hands as you do.

People just want to participate in dragon kills is all. No one is expecting "a sexy new PD robe". Although I did see a lvl 30 tmo alt with vp loot once. LVL 30 VP LOOT. Whenever you can do that it's time to hang it up. Congratulations! You beat classic EQ! Now let someone else have a turn jackass.

To Mr. Turp:

You have contributed nothing to this thread except your asinine perception of what Classic EQ was about 15 years ago and what you think this server is about.

I have news:


























No one cares.

Everyone is here to be part of a community. The root word: commune.

A commune is an intentional community of people living together, sharing common interests, property, possessions, resources, and, in some communes, work and income. In addition to the communal economy, consensus decision-making, non-hierarchical structures and ecological living have become important core principles for many communes.

You are not contributing by belittling other members of the community. People like you make the community toxic.

That is all.

Sig outdated. Not 60 yet, though. Guess I'm just casual scum. I'll be no more willing to raid the way y'all do at 60 than I am now.

I don't give two shits about CT/Trak loot for myself. Really. Couldn't care less. I know I'm unlikely to see them until better is available in velious. As a conscientious member of this community, I care about CT/Trak kills for guilds that are perfectly capable of taking him down when given a reasonable opportunity. Yes that means BDA. It also means Taken, Azure Guard, etc. Considering your current duopoly of VP, the idea that you would cockblock other guilds from the rest of the content that is as trivial to you as blackburrow is simply outrageous. Especially when that cockblocking ensures your duopoly of VP.

I think variance quest and insta-gibbing 32k dragons has made you forget what the challenge of classic EQ was to most of us. Sure, you've gotta play to progress. But you've gotta play smart, because the game is actually challenging, and playing dumb is heavily penalized. If you want a game where time = loot at nearly the same rate for anyone even remotely competent, play a modern MMO.

We've really lost a lot of the EQ challenge on this server due to the markets being saturated at the high end. Weapons 2-4x better dps than rusty are casually given away to players on day one by complete strangers, and those players can afford a full set of banded and jewelry after a couple of afternoons killing newbie trash mobs. 96% rez is available nearly everywhere. Lowbie leveling in full druid/shaman/enchanter buffs is the standard. Wiki is just one tab away, filled with invaluable information.

Don't get me wrong, I actually prefer it this way. But this server was the Classic EZ Server before I got here, and people with too much time on their hands abused that to maintain some false sense of superiority. You don't even like the race. You like to see others lose it.

Have people not realized that TMO is one big RMT scheme??? Why else would you need to farm pointless elf pixels for years straight?

Again, server needs wiped and restarted. Only way to give a classic experience at this point. 3 years of kunark was too much.

People have been playing for so long and the game is so old, most of the challenge is lost.

A large part of the challenge of EQ was the environment.

With invis pulling, necrovacing Sky, full resist gear+potions, camping out multiple toons at multiple spawns... All of the challenge is lost with any real sized raid force.

Do Sky with the 24 allowed with no necrovacing and no pulling between islands, as it is intended to be done. Do VP without any invis, clearing everything. Do Trakanon with clearing his lair not skipping half of it. Do CT without kiting 90% of the zone trash. Try tanking without mallet/puppet string aggro. Hell.. Use a knight tank or ranger tank.

You can make the stuff hard without limiting to 15 characters. But you do have to limit yourself to certain strategies and whatnot. You just choose not to because it's easier and you have the knowledge to do it better/faster through other loopholes/exploits/tactics.

[Iliilliill]

i don't know why, but all this arguing and complaining forumquesting just made me think "hey, WoW might be cool to try again"

i hope that thought passes, though.

[heartbrand]

Man, if only there were a way you could fight TMO and other guilds trying to monopolize spawns rather than be powerless. Shucks.

[quido]

I like it when derpstars accuse TMO of guild-wide RMT. Crazyeyes RMTed of his own accord and if we'd known about it he'd have been instantly removed. TMO has never bought accounts as a guild.

Any plat we earned was put back into the guild (BCGs, Thex Daggers, Prenerf Fungis, Red Dragonscale BPs, etc).
