No, most casuals are perfectly happy playing the game casually like me. And no, the hardcore/casual schism is not an r/k thing. That not the analogy I was going for. Cattle are generally speaking docile, peaceful, which is what I like about EQ and why I don't like most modern games, they too frenzied.
who made you president of the casuals??

another self-appointed tinpot dictator like "Mayor" Nemce (believe me, that vote was rigged BIG TIME)

Of course it's not an equivalent exchange ^^ (at least to most) It serves only to simply refute the point that sharing is inherently fair. It's not and as I said, it can be but simply sharing to share is not fair :c If you would prefer a trail, I can do that too ^^

Suppose you and I are partners. We perform together. Our entire act is collaborative. We are both of equivalent appeal with more or less the same number of fans. How should the proceeds of our performances be split?

Suppose we tire of performing and enter the field of widget manufacture. We open a business together and both are employed by it. I manage to produce 3 widgets per day while you produce 5. How should the proceeds from widget sales be split.

Now suppose you don't like me anymore, but my love for you remains steadfast and I open a new branch office in attempt to mend our relationship, where I manage to produce one additional widget per day. How should the proceeds from widget sales be split?

Now suppose Raev opens a widget shop. His widgets are very well designed and reliable. He produces 3, but they stale and boring and nobody wants to by them. How should the proceeds of widget sales be split?

Our relationship continues to deteriorate despite my best efforts and you leave me for another cattle. Our business is torn like my heart, but we all continue in the widget industry. Our production and sales remain unchanged. How should the proceeds of widget sales be split?

Now suppose Trollolololol enters the widget industry. His widgets are by all standards ordinary, but he works 21 hours everyday producing and selling widgets. He produces 28 widgets, saturating the market and sells them all before we are able to finish ours. How should the proceeds from the sale of widgets be split?
tl;dr Find a better analogy.

I am not a president, just an Ambassador. I speak for those who do not. I lend my voice to those who have not. I extend my care on behalf of those who care not.

I am super casual and have casually experienced all this wonderland has to offer, one little bite at a time. I've had casual encounters with dragons and gods and orcs and dead all alike. I am eminently qualified.

Aren't you the guy who said he's been on dozens of Temple Veeshan raids with absolutely nothing to show for it? Ah yes, here's the comment:

That seems less like an ambassador and more like a serf sucking up to his lord out of fear of losing what few table scraps he's been given.

Any good lawyer would get this argument overruled.

Melon simply states that regardless of having killed "dozens of dragons", which could have been from any dragon bearing zone, does not have ToV loot. There is no mention as to the exclusivity of their dragons to ToV.

OVERRULED.

That's a silly assertion ^^ I don't play for pixels. I play for fun. And fun I have, experiencing content. That the whole point ^^ if pixels were important though I could still get them with the same play time. I'd just spend more time killing dragons and less time doing other fun things. I like variety. And having fun ^^

You can too, but you don't want to.
