Serious thread - why do people farm uncontested pixels when you're BIS 40-50 hrs/week

[Stasis01]

To me the fun in EQ is -

1) character progression

2) PvP

3) Raiding if there is pvp contesting - the race of a raid behind you, or going heads up

It is clear after 3 years on the box that people will continue to show up for raids that are horrible (VP, Cazic, Inny etc) even though they are static, it's still boring as fuck and fairly time consuming.

I have been in Nihi and seen how they operate, and what the raids consist of and what the role is of most people (auto attack)

What I am wondering is why/how do people have fun doing this, and will this stop in end game Velious - or will it just be forever people grinding boring content with all the neckbeards in one guild?

Do people get that much of a rush keeping this box boring/low population? Is it because Velious is coming out and this is really just another blue box that wants to compete in a PVE race?

I can't imagine a normal human being still showing up to this garbage years after, with BIS toon(s) - is this real life.

[Stasis01]

I guess my main question is - do people find Nihilum fun, or is it as much of a revolving door into retirement as when I played?

Because that shit was bunk.

Gaffin is back to who knows what hopefully not going 5-46 on another rogue that shit was embarrassing.

[Stasis01]

Or am I thinking Gangsta, you were a shitty rogue weren't you Gaffin?

dont see point

[Kergan]

I think it is really fun.

[Stasis01]

How.

[Stasis01]

When's the excitement come, when you buff 40 people and then sit there while they kill the dragon?

Shaman PVP is dope, if you're like rushing to get the job done before an enemy comes that's fun, or crushing another guild.

But where's the fun in all being guilded together and farming shit uncontested, when you're BIS velious gear will that still be fun? This is mind bottling.
