That's a silly assertion ^^ I don't play for pixels. I play for fun. And fun I have, experiencing content.

You won't find many people in the game less interested in pixels than me--I haven't upgraded my own character in more than a year. Good enough is good enough, and upgrades lose their luster when I can already do the jobs I want to do. I know exactly what you mean about playing the game for its own sake. That being said, I'd feel robbed if I showed up to "dozens" of raids to progression content and was left with nothing to show for it. There's playing for pixels....then there's at least giving somebody a token of appreciation for his useful effort. That's why your comment stuck out to me. I think you deserve more than a pat on the back while the lords you serve deck themselves out in their virtual riches.

Well, my guild not loot council and I don't know many here that are tbh, so they don't assign loot. Have to spend dkp or win rolls to get loot, which I think is pretty fair. I have dkp, so I can get loot, just not always present when something I want or can use drops and when something does, I don't usually want it all that much and so either don't bid on it or bid low. I am indecisive and stingy ^^

It's a great gif for this thread, but it lost it's allure with my failings in posting.

How did you do that?

When you upload to imgur, float you cursor over the upper right then click the drop down next to get links and copy the forums/by code one^^

There was a super fantastic tutorial somewhere around here on this, but looks like it got deleted ^^;

Also, how are pvp minded games not competitive? Our server may not be pvp per se, but thats how things work.

That's what were debating.... I know this is difficult for some people to understand, but "the way things work" is entirely optional to the server staff.

For example, why is it okay to single pull dragons to the zone in? That's the key thing to me that makes p99 nothing like classic EQ. Add in the ridicules raid "racing" rules and you're left with almost no one who thinks things are run well...except for the leadership of A/A. Not the masses that make killing those dragons possible mind you...just (some of) the leaders.

At least there was some fun when A/A was racing via batphone to kill the dragon first...now there isn't even that part.

And again, virtually no one has a lot of fun racing. It's not even 1%. Just because a few weridos do, doesn't make it a good solution.

I've been playing Counter-stike. And its fun even if you don't win a lot of the times. That's because it is a competitive game -- built for competition. If I were to suggest to my friends we all que together to kill bots -- no one would be interested. It's not that kind of game.

You don't even have to get into this hardcore vs casual thing. It's about whats fun. The vast majority of people agree the current ruleset is not fun. It would be nice if the staff would fix that. But it's their decision.

All I can do is not play until they do...which will probably be forever.
