not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

I'm laughing at you for thinking the Devs enjoy Variance. Nilbog loves classic. Nilbog routinely criticizes the large raid guilds for their tactics:

don't think it matters to nilbog as he's not the one dealing with variance honestly.

Hard Core players don't care. I had 9 accounts on live that I paid for every month for years. 3 for my son and 6 for me to 5 or 6 box. Sony loved me. And I loved it also. People in TMO are HARD CORE PLAYERS. They are Pitbulls and love it. And they are laughing their ass off about all the other people on here crying like little girls. I think the Devs are laughing also about this silly thread. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nine accounts... although I find that hard to believe, even if, you're an outlier in the grand scheme of things.

"hard core" players aren't playing EQ classic on a private server, lol. It doesn't take a lot of effort to get into that position. All it takes is starting on the server when it first opens. Once you have the monopoly setup its a snowball rolling down a hill. And that shouldn't exempt you from following server rules so you get your way. Penalties need to be harsher for offenders.

If that's how the devs would treat the overwhelming majority of the server population and you agree with it then it's really fucked up, and you're kind of an asshole.

I make a LOT of money. I am a Pitbull. Sorry that you don't or aren't. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If you can't afford $150.00 a month for a hobby you might as well jump off the roof.

Doubt a lot of "pitbulls" are getting their rocks off playing a 13 year old game, where all the strats for winning were on the web...oh, 13 years ago.

you go pitbull, go!

Variance hasn't always been around. When P1999 didn't have variance these forum threads were basically the same, just with different guild names at the time.

There are soooo many competitive games out there that actually take skill, but its not about competition here. It's a safe way to feel awesome because you never really lose in PvE EQ.

no removing it will clearly make the server prosper and every guild will get top targets and be happy! Sorry for the sarcasm.

You lose.

Then if he is so much against it like you seem to think, he can surely change it can't he. This is HIS server. Not TMO's. Has he done shit? NO. Has Sirken stopped it, NO. Just recommended getting the next 4 or 5 guilds together and becoming the new sorry ass top guild that will do the same shit. So like it the way it is or quit and go play on another server. Or better yet just quit raiding on here. Your blood pressure will drop to safe levels. You will thank me for that advise some day.

From my understanding, Nilbog does not like variance, but believes in its necessity on Project1999. I don't like paying taxes, but I see the necessity in them to provide road maintenance and the like. This server's raid scene is retarded, and its our own fault for that. You advocate individuals should leave the server or succumb to the extremely prominent minority, I say that minority is crazy and should have a reality check.

But that is not how this server is governed: toss out morality and focus on the concrete black and white letter of the law instead of the intent of the law. There is very little I can do to change this philosophy.

I do not say that variance will fix the raid scene. I propose it'll be classic mechanics and the utter crap that will ensue due to pure FTE-on-spawn fights will force the players that created the crappy raid scene to deal with themselves to fix the raid scene themselves instead of implementing more rules/server mechanics to deal with each other for us. We are the problem, the solution should come from us.

No I don't like being called a lier about having 9 accounts. I have them. I can afford them. What can I say. If you don't like it too bad.
