People are so lazy in this game.

This is just like an IRL debate!

There is such a thing as a reasonable demand.

I'm not really put into a good position where I can be anything other than assertive.

There is a reason why premade groups exist. If you want consistency and efficiency, you make a premade group. A lot of the players you want to play with aren't in PUGs because they have a premade group or trusted set of friends already. This is because they want efficiency and consistency.

Whenever I join a PUG I don't expect anything. If I want more efficiency in a PUG, I do the work to make that happen to the best of my abilities. You can't expect everybody to be in the mood to be efficient at all times in a PUG. If they wanted to be efficient, they would be soloing or in a premade.

Perhaps.

To me, though, since EQ is such an easy game from a mechanical level, I don't see why it's such a chore for a lot of people.

There are quite a few P99 players who don't mind spending years slowly leveling their characters. That is one of the charms of P99. It's been around for 10+ years, so people don't feel rushed to get to the end. They can play slow, take a break, be lazy, and their characters will still be around next year.

P99 doesn't have timed incentives like other games, so people approach P99 differently than other games like the Diablo 2 ladder season. Some people play simply for nostalgia too.

I would consider looking for a premade group, or joining a high end raiding guild if you want more efficient groups consistently.

Very good points DSM.

After a long hiatus from the game, I've decided to come back and play my paladin, Hospitaller.

I ask a fellow paladin in Velks to FoL incoming mobs when the MT is around 10-20% for efficiency sake, and he gets angry and complains. He eventually leaves because I became frustrated with trying to reason with him.

Why even play this game if you can't even be bothered to do the simplest thing?

FoL is what? Flash of Light, Flame of Light, I'd like to hear your reasoning for how it makes things more efficient.

[Gloomlord]

Flash of Light. It's for snap aggro. In this case, it's for snap aggro on a new pulled mob, and then the rest of the group finish the last target.

That's right. You can't suspend your disbelief long enough to see this game through anothers eyes.

In a vacuum, you are correct and I cant believe I'm saying this but DSM is correct (dangnabbit!). We all play differently at times.
I see your point and I would not need to be prompted to FoL in that situation. Luckily not everyone is me.

Should fire the paladin and get a sexy SK instead. They put some effort in instead of going fake AFK in the tunnel and fapping to how many inspects they get.
