-1 for argument from fallacy.

I never implied that because his argument is fallacious, then mine is correct. Although i do think his argument is not valid. Wait, hes got no argument. I think mine is valid though. Confused yet?

I agree to the extent. The problem is that this isn't 1999 and this isn't classic. In 1999 we used dial-up, had no wiki, and were basically clueless about mechanics for a while. There were many casual players back then. There was not a heavy focus on "phat lewt" and "being uber". EQ didn't attract those sort of players in the beginning because the game wasn't about that....it was about exploring, adventure, and rping.

The players turned it into "omg max level phat lewt i'm the koolest mofo on the block" mentality. That's already starting to happen here as well. Soon we'll be begging for more and more raid content.

Camps created drama back in classic....but I think it's moreso here because we're more educated about who can solo them, how to hold them, and the rewards of camping them.

I think devs got already enough on their plates without on top having to micro-manage whos dual boxing, whos not really dual boxing cuz once in a while his wife plays but most of the time its him camping a spawn and playing on the other computer, which guild is perma-locking the best mobs, la la la...

All right... cut Shipwreck here some slack. His brain has been slowly cooked by gamma radiation for years.

All too true but the real problem is I am too old and grouchy to yell CC in shout when I see a named mob and none around or to be held atbay while a guild full of Gimp zergs a mob simply because they had 15 afkrs sitting in zone ...the fact that this fear of contest is so strongly defended makes me want to puke....you guys play on classic eq server and run it like wowkins its frankly sad

"I think devs got already enough on their plates without on top having to micro-manage whos dual boxing"

Well dealing with camp disputes on the server and in the forums are taking considerable time as well and perhaps more intervention for a while might deflate some of the egos that think because they are there they deserve the camp.

Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya.

I agree with yukface on this point, afk'er should be used to establish a foothold on a camp, raid or whatever. In the old days if two guilds were after something and were mobilizing forces the one that had too few would wipe and the second would go in and finish it off.

For example, im pretty sure some guilds are perma-locking the best mobs in LGuk 24/7.

What's up Taxi.

This isn't really true, unless you are just stirring the pot. I think that perception comes from the fact that 2-3 guys in the big guilds spend assloads of time in lguk, but myself, fellow guildies and even a handful of unguilded people regularly camp the Lord, AM and Frenzy.
