What did player moan about during EQ's live peak?

Cribanox · #1 09-13-2013, 08:14 AM

I play some other MMO's out there now adays and I always get a kick out of what the hive mind moans about on each of the game's official forums. I was way too young to know (or care) what everyone would complain about during EQ's peak on live. For example everyone bitches about how loot sucks in diablo 3 right now, or how repair costs are way too high in FFXIV.

Can anyone remember any examples of what people mostly complained about at any given time during on live?

Patch downtime lol.... I was hooked, so it always annoying waking up and not being able to get on.

But seriously, here is a typical account, of a later period (PoT) but it was still the same shit.

Expansions released, but not finished.

I cannot remember any one example in particular. I do remember however, that much of the moaning was just about things that were broken or buggy. The classic response from the Sony Devs was that it was "working as intended". Yes this pissed a lot of people off.

I also remember petitioning once because a mob I was fighting that I feared went under the world and killed me, since I could not see it to hit it while it kept hitting me. The GM told me it was not a bug but "game mechanics they are working on", he said he could not rez me, and suggested I hunt somewhere more "safe". When I kept pressing on the matter the GM said what I was doing could be considered an exploit, and I should be happy I only died and I wasn't getting banned. Yeah, it was like that.

"Nerfs" EQ was the first game I heard that term being used.

Monks thinking monks were weak, while everyone else thought they were OP. Caused a sit in by monks across the servers in WFP.

Druids constantly complaining about dot nerf, root/snare nerf, clerics being better healers, getting tells for ports.

Wizards complaining about being glass cannons.

Clerics complaining about having to heal people.

Warriors complaining about Paladins and SKs.

Paladins and SKs complaining about warriors.

Rogues complaining about weapons.

Rangers pondering their existence.

Necros complaining about being twitch bots.

Shamans were pretty chill, just like RL.
