3) whether any assumed bad game design is intentional

We all know the answer to this because we all sat around and listend to Brad and Smed be like man this is our world!!! The Vision

Definitely intentional.

It's not bad game design tho. To say it's bad is disingenuous. Is it profitable? No.

The only reason i don't have a giuse or a runed fighters staff is because when the server first went live I was busy on combat duty risking my life hunting violent anti-democratic terrorists who wanted to take away your freedom to eat nacho cheese doritos and play everquest in your underpants.

While we were out on patrol one day our patrol vehicle suffered a huge IED attack and when I woke up from the coma the doctor told me he had to amputate both my legs. I also learned my 4 brothers were KIA protecting your freedom while I was out cold.

When I finally got back home and logged onto the server I found out guises no longer dropped. I was so devastated I sobbed for weeks in my wheelchair. Now when I log onto green players with guises laugh at me and calll me stumpy loser because I don't have a guise or legs.

I'vr started drinking hard liquor to forget what happened out there but I'd do it again if give half the chance because it's my sworn duy to protect your freedom to drink coca-cola and loot guises.

Forgive for not standing.

Oh, say, can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave

VETERANS WITHOUT GUISES

A campaign representing the brave men and women who risked everything for your freedom only to discovder they're not allowed pre-nerf loot because they were too late logging on after returning from combat duty.

The game is supposed to simulate a real world, not a world of warcraft.

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.

Either a nice larp or very sad story. Either way, perhaps your frustration at a lack of guise is a transference from a feeling of lack of other things?

Seriously though, there are lots of avenues for help, whatever your situation.

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.

It's not really about the guise it's more about bad games design going unchecked so some people benefit at other people's expense. I don't want to be your personal bottle of viagra.

People keep telling me life isn't fair, well then this isn't life then. this s something else.

one 1/6 life maybe?
