It's not a matter of being any good or not, it's whether I can surf the web or watch TV while being in a boring-ass exp grind group that is going to put me to sleep if that's the only thing I'm doing.
The benefit of the ring is what I described above: being able to pay as little attention to the game as possible. With the target ring, I get a large visual confirmation that the thing is in front of me and I am probably hitting it. Even if I assist the tank, the thing might run off for a caster while I'm checking my email. If the giant ring disappears from the EQ window, it's pretty easy to tell. Now I have to check my combat log or look for flashing names, which requires more attention.
The point is not whether slagging-off and surfing the web in an exp group is a good thing to do or whether the player is bad. The point is that everyone that has been playing on this server for the past few years has had this crutch to use for whatever they need it for (watching porn while playing EQ, being the worst EQ player ever) to get to where they are now. However, now I am being told that I can't chat and DJ on turntable.fm in order to stay awake while grinding Sol A at 3am. I guess I won't. I guess I'll go to sleep, never level up, and the admins and their buddies can hope that none of their level 60 club ever quits because there isn't going to be anyone to replace them.

Have you noticed that your the only one taking up this argument that people will quit because level 60's had the advantage of target rings? Honestly if you don't enjoy this game enough to play it without target rings you should quit. Most of us came here because we were told it's a classic server and this is how it was in classic EQ. I mean your basically asking them to go against the overall goal of the server because you don't want to play without reading your email at the same time.
If you can play by only looking at a target ring while DJing or browsing then I'm guessing your group roll isn't that important.. Most likely people won't notice you being a little bit worst than you were before. I can guarantee you 99% of these level 60's your talking about would be EXACTLY where they are with or without target rings. It takes a lot of work to get there and for 99% of us not having target rings isn't game breaking.
