oocing that players can/are about to run through the caves feels like putting spoiler alerts infront of 25+ year old movies.

spoiler alert, Neo isn't the one

spoiler alert, Jack dies at the end of titanic

spoiler alert, when a raid mob is up in everquest, don't be between it and 100 fucking people running full speed at it.

Are we so bad at this 25 year old game we are XPing ‘on the tracks’?

or are we so bad at this 25 year old game we are getting lost in one of the simplest mazes in the game, even though we have been attempting to solve this maze every single week (several times a week) for years?

iirc there are a few long deadends in spec caves you can pull them to and be safe in the event of a CT pop.

I would love to do a study to see how many of these high level players that trample on lower level ones are socialists IRL.

"Paul isn't the guy."

The guy sees in real time with prescience after a tactical nuke deletes the soft tissue in his orbital cavities. Otherwise the Fremen would have abandoned him in the desert like any other blind person. Dune, "Still a good movie." lol, I know you won't open a book, but you can listen to the entire series in one of your "poop socking" sessions. Better yet, touch paper.

Wait, is that just a whole cloth rip off?

Paul is literally 3rd in DBZ power level, Leto II is the actual prophesied one, and Alia is stronger than Paul, the first book and the 80s movie is good, the navigators are 10x more cooler in the movie than than the dumb sprite looking things iirc their description correctly.

and the rest of the books are straight up garbage my dude lol, like if you not only finished Messiah and Children but actually liked them... Oooookay. only cool part about that entire 2nd or it was the third book was the knowledge temple or w/e Paul hid on another planet, one cool paragraph in the entire book, i literally don't remember anything else other than it being boring as fuck

>but you can listen to the entire series in one of your "poop socking" sessions. Better yet, touch paper.

i don't poopsock or even play anymore, i shit post here and trigger Dune autists apparently, which is argueable worse i admit than actually still raiding in the year of our lord 2025

OP while you're right to be upset and this isn't cool that it happened, it also is classic EQ. Doesn't make it okay to train people, but if you're EXPing in an area where a train is possible (in this case, right in the path to one of the prime raid mobs that people race to get FTE on) that is somewhat on you as well (sounds like they could've communicated that a raid force was incoming though).

If you were sitting in KC killing a couple mobs by the entrance and a group had to train out would you think it was reasonable to get pissed at them? This is the same scenario essentially.
