Swarming with a charm pet is different than aoe kiting. Um, okay, I wouldn't assume my desktop is crap but okay... Like I said though, you were restricted to what UI was out during the time of classic/kunark/velious Along with restricted to what settings you could change on your UI. Go back and do a 50+ mob kite with velious UI, with the non-LED mouse.

Functionally they are the same - whereas true swarm kiting is not possible on this server, circle kiting is and functionally does the same thing.

I've done it with the velious ui (ie no bandolier or external inventory window). Ball mice were only marginally worse than opticals (barely so with a pad), the main thing was they required consistent cleaning.

I don't assume your desktop is bad, but my laptop is 6 years old and didn't have problems. Dunno what to tell you.

did the movement key tapping method with my bard, no mouse needed except to swap instruments

Thats still enough to kite with.

Not a whole damn zone of mobs like some are saying. Yo must have had the BEST internet connection in the whole world to do lots of mobs back then. Not counting your mom or dad would have thrown you under the bus dialing a phone number when you were on like a lot of people did back in the day.. [You must be logged in to view images.

Ok son, I think tying up the damn phone for like 13 hours straight is probably long enough. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not counting AoL dropped you about every 45 minutes whether you did something or not.

Clearly you never had a decent mouse back in the day, or if you did you used it on a shit surface. Good mechanical mice existed, as did mouse pads that helped get best performance out of them.

Window 98 and Windows XP were about as reliable as a woman's period. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

^ Yep. Sorry you feel the need to call me an idiot because you're ignorant.
