effortpost deflecting the fact that eq is just a badly designed game

exposition of theory about raid scene

fin.

Or humans are badly designed creatures. Everyone wants maximum results with as little effort as possible. Everyone demands a share of 10% of the content while ignoring 90% of the content in the game.

EQ is a perfectly designed game - humans are just shit at playing it.

I believe this statement is untrue and point you to RnF and Raid Discussion forums for evidence against.

yes humans are clearly the problem here and not everquest, a game designed by humans

Well yeah - humans are the problem clearly. The developers were doing something that hadn't been done before on this scale. The internet was quite new. Online gaming was quite new.

They designed EQ with the mindset that people would want to "play" it. I don't think they expected that some peoples lives were so miserable and broken they'd want to live EQ.

Shit like PL, poopsocking, RMTíng, minimum 30 hours per week, DLP's, people suing others over in game assets, EQ causing marriage break downs, suicides...

Its a very well designed game, better than the instanced garbage that came later. Its just not well designed for mental cases who ended up being the leaders and followers of the uber guilds.

"everquest is a perfectly designed game, except for these huge flaws in its design"

i'm sorry that there are people who play this badly designed game differently than you, this apparently causes you much grief

I am in Aftermath and dont even raid its fun you all should try it sometime

P99 raid scene is like an unregulated market. The richest get richer and richer while the poor struggle for scraps.

Instanced raiding is the socialism that evens the playing field a bit.

Anyone that likes "raiding' here, great, keep doing your thing. Everyone bitching should try a new game. I like EQ phinigel, but there are others.

Many of you would really like Phinny if you gave it a shot.

There is a reason all of the new games have instanced raiding.

Happy New Year!

Yeah but it doesn't take a genius to figure out most of the people on this server like this server because we liked classic. The raiding here is not classic.

It would be more appropriate for the people that like non-classic raiding to feck off and go elsewhere rather than the people who are here for a classic experience to feck off.

Play nice policies. My personal feelings aside (lay off the wacky weed, Verant), I get to enforce it. Do you know how much I hate you at the end of a long shift? What kind of asshole thinks the king room in Lower Guk can be shared by TWO GROUPS OF 12? Conversely, what kind of screaming cocksucker thinks it’s okay to camp the king room for 36 hours? I think you both suck. The only people lamer than you are the ones that PNP over derv camps in North Ro and then act surprised when I send one group to the DESERTED derv camp a 30 second walk away.

Fastboy, cmon. He found ACTUAL POSTS ON THE INTERNET, and thus cannot be contradicted. If he were to allow that some people might have different memories and that maybe things are not totally black and white, then we'd be all confused. Personally, I had no idea that my memories of the 9 years I spent playing on live were so faulty, and I am just glad he has shown me the truth. And obviously, trying to make fine points about the difference between 'implemented at all' and 'implemented with success' are just silliness. HE FOUND ACTUAL POSTS.

And I think the fact that you don't get that he is not actually saying that 'you ARE an idiot', as opposed to 'you ACT like an idiot' is not a personal attack means you don't understand how language works. For instance, if I were to say that 'Ikon *is* an overbearing pseudo-intellectual that thinks his leet research skills prove things beyond a shadow of a doubt and that no-one else even has a legitimate reason to doubt him', rather than 'Ikon *ACTS* like an overbearing pseudo-intellectual that thinks his leet research skills prove things beyond a shadow of a doubt and that no-one else even has a legitimate reason to doubt him', that one little change would mean I was personally attacking him.

I am now trying to find posts on the internet that claim that the world is flat and lizard people live in the center. Oh look! Here's some -
