Auto fire = no competition. Don't try to make excuses and make the raid scene out to be anything other than what it is. Garbage.

I do enjoy having a large uninstanced outdoor world with people going places, fighting things, selling things, fishing, tradeskilling, and generally just feeling like I'm immersed in a world. Do I feel like I'm competing when derv 1 is camped, not really, I just go to derv 2. There is enough non raid content to keep me quite happy. However, there is a reason that instancing has been put into all modern games. The majority of people don't want to compete with no life assholes that want to cock block the content.

Again you feel the need to insult people who prefer a different gameplay than you. Wether you feel like it is competing you are still competing you simply have more of a supply than at the raid level.

Beating Afterlife to NtoV or rushing to engage Emporer in SSRA with them breathing down our necks and pulling off a win by the skin of our teeth - these are the exhilirating memories that come from competition. Honestly if I wanted to stand in line to be handed something I would go to the deli counter instead of a game.
Elmarnieh, if you were racing Afterlife then you were on Mithaniel Marr. What was your character's name and what guild were you in, if you don't mind me asking? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Same name, same race, same class [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was in Primordial Fury and Coalescence...I was in for a long time so I'm prolly forgetting a guild or two.

I remember both of those guilds [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Specifically Primordial Fury! I was in Wisdom and we used to race you guys a lot. I was also in Vengeful Apathy (A.k.a Team Neversleep). The good old days [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EQ use to require you to meditate while staring at a book. The majority of people preferred a different gameplay than what Sony designed. Guess what, they changed it. There is nothing wrong with questioning the game, now that's classic. Sorry for the insults, if people enjoy cock blocking content over and over and over, then their happiness is at the expense of the majority. EQ will be a lonely place if the 90% left.

Raid scene here isn't classic either.
Variance isn't classic. As you see in a different thread, variance is actually screwing up the proposed rotation. If we are going to an enforced rotation and/or adding a rule like not being able to down a boss twice in a row, I think variance needs to be reconsidered.

The server I played on back in the day had a raid calendar. We didn't have a bunch of no life assholes cock blocking all the raid content.
My server didn't have a raid calendar. It was cutthroat as hell and had real cockblocking. P99 is nothing in comparison. Most the guilds just got the scraps thrown to us. The #2 guild got its first Trak kill so late in Kunark it was a joke...
