Rant: Why create bad game design on purpose?

Maybe if we were playing a Communism real world game, we could all be super equal and it would be fun.

I think soviets were fun bad guys sometimes too. Their uniforms aren't that bad looking.

Video games are intentionally designed to be fair otherwise nobody would play them, duh. WoW and EQ are no different. They certainly look different and play different but they both designed from the ground up to be as fair as possible for maximum fun for all. If you create an unfair video game you're practically punching yourself in the face and deserve a darwin award.

Somebody at verant decided, later on, after the fact, to create pre-nerf loot for some inexplicable reason which created 2 circles of players when there should only be 1.

I made my account 2012 near launch of Red server and I never "simply logged in and got free loot"... what are you even talking about?

Everything yr saying is honestly exactly what I like about EQ... my go to phrase is always, "Q:What makes the Excalibur the Excalibur? A: There is only one."

When I see a player who is decked out in EQ all I think is, "Wow this guy loves the game and really put some work in, really nice stuff here. Very cool."

If you want to play a shitty game where every casual has everything that everyone else has and everyone looks the same, there's always WoW homie.

Legacy items aren’t classic

No one raced to evil eye on classic it was just a mob dropping a cool item that some people thought might be useful.

Same with the guise.

P99 style is stupid and makes the game have fucked EMu only progression priorities. Should not be implemented this way. It worked for blue because no one knew exactly how the shut would be in the game and most people had never even killed evil eye since people just didn’t know that it was the place to be in 1999.

This guy's right about something for a change. Fuck legacy items, they steer the community's behavior far too drastically.

However this is in one of the most ignored sections of the forum so no one is reading it anyway.
