Global ooc will just become an intellectual dumping ground for the bottom 2%. It will make the game less enjoyable for those of us who do not call the bottom 2% home. It will neither attract new players, nor help retain old ones, which will result in a lower population.

You can google "cognitive development" sometime and find where on the various scales you find people who cling to absolutism as a defense against complex topics. Framing every case in terms of "I am right because I know more" and using terms like "thin skinned fruitcake" just demonstrate a very primitive level of abstract thought, no different than a Jerry Springer guest's adamant "I do what I want!" But don't take my word for it, you should be able to find a wealth of information on the subject in any number of psychological journals or essays.
ive seen more informative writing on bathroom walls. you realize you can just block global ooc right? maybe you should google eq filtering options.

I'm sitting at 160 fr buffed and most starfires still land for more than 50% damage, comets always hits for 60+% at 155 cold resist.

Thats a lot of gear sacrifice for little to no gain. Factor in melee damage and your resists are useless. Youd be better off wearing hit point gear when you factor everything else.

I do hope that resists get changed for the better next patch -- I also hope they wont FUBAR the resist system because as weve seen, it takes awhile to get patches on these emus. this isnt a flame on the devs, just an observation.
How do your resist stats factor into how fast you cast gate as soon as your Mistwalker dies?

You know this is a bad argument when it's been responded to about 50 times already.

I can understand the concern that Global /occ could become the Barrens Chat of Project 1999 but as a new player, any easy way for me to reach out to other new players and actually group up out weighs the distracting Chuck Norris refreences and dick jokes.

As long as I can have a long ignore list and the ability to turn off global occ then I think people can manage it's impact on their own.
