Point is you don't see A/A wanting to crawl for their pixels, but you do see more casuals guilds willing to do so. That in itself is telling. Casuals willing to put more work in haha

That's because there is no point in crawling. If crawling would help get FTEs, it would happen. It has nothing to do with more work. Long Plane of Growth clears seem to satisfy most people's crawling desires.

Just to clarify, what casual guilds want to crawl thru ntov? I heard they pull to zone just like the hardcores do

CSG tried this one and was repeatedly trained. The only successful crawl was when A/A were somehow distracted and they COHed up to Cekenar. And they still got trained.

Also, NTOV was designed for 1 crawl with multiple bosses. No one wants to do 30 hours of NTOV flurries every week (although, WTB Kael Plate MQs . .)

But yes, I kind of laugh at the idea that P99 pixels are somehow more legitimate when the average dragon takes 5 minutes to pull to zone in and kill. After Haynar fixes chase distance then I hope Nilbog blocks binding in TOV then runs some sort of query to find all people bound in TOV and rebind them just outside. It's still probably possible to zone pull but at least it will be harder.

If we can adapt to 96 hour Windows with extended variance. We can adapt to anything

If there's no point in playing the content, what's the point in acquiring pixel upgrades?

Also, you didn't answer my previous question:

Answer honestly, how would you feel if a 2nd Blue server were opened, as far in the timeline as the current Blue server (no legacy items) but all raid mobs are on rotation? You'd get to keep your "competitive" server which is so great to so many people, and those that just want to play classic EQ in a bullshit free way can as well. Everyone gets a choice of what they want to do. Would you object to that?

I'm talking about there being a practical point to doing crawls. As in, there is no point to crawl 'just for fun', when it is not necessary. If that's how you had to win dragons... by crawling through ToV, then I'd be crawling on a regular basis, as the activity would no longer be pointless. Not sure what point you are trying to make. I don't care if the contest involves footraces or crawling.

As far as the answer to your question, why would I care if more servers with carebear rules exist? Add it to the list of classic carebear servers, makes no difference to me.

I'm just glad that Sirken made things very clear and that this competitive server will remain what it is.

The point is, if all you're doing is logging in for 15 minutes to kill dragons that were killed with Kunark gear, what's the point of getting better loot?

It kinda undermines this point you make:

What's the point of doing all the work (and making other people do the work) for the best pixels if you're not even going to use them to play the game?

[khanable]

Because having good pixels is better than having ok pixels

And more importantly, other people don't have said good pixels

This is one of the things that made eq, eq

There can be only 1 BDA.
After being P99s bottom bitch for several years , BDA moved onto Phinny to see if the pillows taste any better there.
