P99 is a Meritocracy, not a Democracy

Please show me where I ever claimed to be a "PVP god"? Spoiler alert: You can't, because I never did. Never played on a PVP server. I don't PVP. I don't even like PVP. The closest I've ever come to PVP is accidentally riposting someone while they were trying to hammer off me. Quit making shit up.

If you haven't figured out for the last 20+ years on Live, Blue, and Green... I roleplay The Shoveler. That's how I enjoy the game. Roleplaying the most incompetent superhero ever with a 4/27 weapon, helping out newbies in Crushbone or wherever. I never claimed to be anything else. When I decided to join the BOTB, I joined it as a funny opportunity to roleplay a pacifist trying to convince my fellow rangers that we were all turned against each other by Innoruuk and we should lay down our weapons. While I got my ass beat. I sent a /tell to my opponent to play along, but he just wailed on me while I was doing my roleplay thing. No biggie, made it even more hilarious!

If you don't see the humor in that, I don't know what to tell you. I thought it was amusing. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Regarding "competition" and QQing about it back in BDA: Everquest Blue and Green are PVE. Player vs. Environment. The players here have made it about "competing" against other players somehow like it's an Olympic sport, pounding their chests over their prowess at outmaneuvering their opponents, creating zerg forces, monopolizing raid targets, entire raid zones, or wtfever... which is laughable because the real competition would be PVP over on Red. My point is that they shy away from actual competition in an environment which they would have additional opportunity to outplay their opponents. So the point stands that they don't want actual competition.

We QQ because a subset of players have decided for the rest of us how the game should be played, and what the barrier of entry should be... and then tell us to go play a TLP if we don't like it. Are these players donating more so their voice counts more? What's giving this meritocracy the power to dictate to the rest of us what the raid scene has to be like? Why does everyone scream at me when I suggest the next server could be a casual-friendly rotation server, while those who want to compete can continue to do so on existing servers. Or, maybe it makes more sense to start rotating content on Blue or Green and the new server can be a fresh competitive server to make everyone happy.

i gotta find the old HD with you losing with a level 60 ranger with Sentenza when he was a level 35 sk right after u claimed to be a pvp god .
People screw with you and BDA because when tmo got banned BDA acted like kings of the hill after preaching fair game with other guilds and acted like a bunch of clowns . u where back then a big advocate.
and prime example of pure hypocrite .

What the holy fuck are you talking about? You have me confused with someone else, dude. I don't PVP, and I don't claim to be a "god" at anything. Especially PVP, which I don't participate in. Not my style. I mean, unless I was really drunk that night and goofing off?? But that's not my style either, so I dunno what misconception you've got in your head.

I have been a big advocate of inclusion, casual play, and a positive, healthy community since I joined here in 2010. I stand against anyone who gets off on denying pixels to others. I lead open WTOV raids on Green to help as many people as possible get some nice gear that they maybe otherwise wouldn't have a chance to get. I spend most of the rest of my play time buffing newbies in Crushbone or Mistmoore. Many of you have been the recipients of my time on your mains or alts leveling up in Faydwer. If my guild on Blue 8-9 years ago did anything to you or anyone that was unjust or hypocritical, I apologize.
