you make it sound like anything outside "its for the pixels" is negative. many ways to enjoy the game.

Presumably it IS a negative to him. Lot of ways to enjoy the game, and I imagine he wouldn't enjoy it the same way I do. Works both ways; given a choice between raiding in temple veeshan or not playing, I'll pick the latter. Might as well be playing different games entirely--and that's one good thing about Velious. It divides up the content so I live in one part of the game, the high-end folks live in Temple Veeshan or wherever, and we don't really get in each other's way very often.

So how did this flip to me saying not playing for loot is negative? I'm ridiculing the idea that items shouldn't be considered whatsoever, which is what was being implied and is often said as some sort of weird virtue signal.

That's another strange presumption that all I or other raiders do is hang out in ToV. Silly! Aside from the characters in my sig I have 4 other characters that are over level 45 for grouping and whatever.

If you want to be like Ivory and roleplay a sneaksy little gnome, I am 100% for you doing that. THAT is what you are suggesting, and you should do it. It's refreshing and creative, but that's not what you are suggesting at all. Sitting AFK in a shitty zone like Hate or Sky or leveling a million alts doesn't qualify you as being a virtuous anti pixel person, you're just exhibiting the same thing that you distaste in a different dispensation.

Nah, none of that. Mis-understanding me a bit, but that's fair because other folks do quite often mean what you assumed. My usage of "negative" isn't an insult or some silly virtue signal (which I agree is ridiculous in a video game), but rather I mean negative in the simple sense that it isn't your own primary mode of gameplay.

I wouldn't say it's toxic, it is bit too serious for my liking, didn't have fun last time I was in it. No one was negative really just too machine like and take things serious.

When your game goes srsbsns on you it's time to find another game. /wave EVEOnline

Or just leave, that’s why I’m a kitten.

Kittens didn't work for me, they were the interim between my two sojourns in PS

To be clear, when Kittens headed down the pixel-sickness path (VP key quest is EQ for AIDS) I tried going back to PS, didn't work for me.
