The way it's monetized is dumb and the way it's 7 players instead of 6 is also dumb.

But the mechanics behind why it works are what makes EQ great. People figure out how to beat large numbers of mobs with science. I love it.

And that's all fine and dandy, but the monster that it has become is simply disdainful.

And that's fine. You don't have to partake in its behavior.

If you want to group in Chardok setup somewhere with a group and stake your claim to a camp. But no one ever wants to group in there because it's a rather mediocre dungeon until the revamp.

Yes, though some of them will probably tell you to wait and try and get you to pay for the pipe lol

why would I pay for the pipe? they should be giving me a free pipe drop if I'm already holding the camp.

Because some people are dumb, and don't understand how things go.

If they were smart they'd try to entice you to just AFK and take a free pipe, most likely they'd just pull around you if the puller is semi decent.

All I remember about Chardok is that it was ball-bustingly difficult to XP there with a normal group.

Never did AE there, although I did do AE in fungus grove on Wizard on live. That was interesting - don't think I could have made it to 60 without doing that.

Did 50-56 or so on my cleric with an enchanter friend a couple of years back before Chardok AOE became a thing. Was fast XP and we had a good time.

Still groupable if you're on red <3

We're all affected, and negatively. We cannot choose.

Chardok generates an INSANE percentage of post-50 XP on the server

The high level crowding on the server, nubs n scrubs who make it to 60 but shouldn't , also people on their 17th alt to park at a "raid" boss (not classic)

The COTH bots at every single dragon helping to trivialize "raid" encounter logistics in a very non-classic way. This is responsible for the Trap tooth bottleneck, which is the only reason C/R exists

Everyone and their cousin with a level 60 Wizard alt (vs those of us who actually "worked" to get our levels)

Idk man, first Druid apologist (which I can understand, most don't) now Chardok AOE apologist (I just don't get it)
