If we assume 100 players average, 2 hours per clear (maybe it's much faster with 200 players blowing everything up?), and a 50% chance of success you are talking 400 man hours per pixel dragon kill. Even at minimum wage, that's $6000 of opportunity cost! And most of these loots are pretty mediocre. In comparison, the previous system required 60 people (not really, of course) for 20 minutes plus say 4 pullers for 8 hours. Throwing in the same 50% chance of success and that sums up to 100 man hours. So the time per pixel has gone up by 400%, and people have to vaguely pay attention now rather than just sneaking on for 15 minutes and then going back to their job/family while the 30 most dedicated/unemployed (depending on your viewpoint) nerds did most of the 'work' while watching Netflix. I just don't see how this is sustainable. | |||

This is a game, where you're supposed to be doing this for fun. Who gives a shit how many man hours it takes if the people involved are having fun? | |||

Knowing the deepest game mechanics makes this mediocre, more of a science now.. stale and lifeless with dudes in white lab coats spewing about stats and class placement.. *adjusts coke bottle glasses* It is two different viewpoints on what makes a good RPG, imo EQ was not developed by Min/Maxers. If they were then most of the flavor in the world would never have been created, they wouldn't be able to justify them. For sure all the races, like 2 of them, would have started in a universal newbie zone. It would've be a few zones to 60 then lifeless raids, like what the top end best players on P99 had created.

If I join, do I get to hear Ramen mouth breath all day like a fat body? At the very least, do I get to watch first hand how overly immersed Dannyl is? I hope so. What's the link again? | |||

The only things Ramen says in TeamSpeak is "I'll do the DA engage." or "I need more pearls."
