the competition is fun; especially when you win.
the gear is also very nice. i like to be able to have an all powerful character to help my alts get gear

Anyway, does the gear make your character that much better?

yes

I raided to hang with people, and get some pixels...Friends was first, gear was 2nd.

And I would always take time to help new people or train for a raid during off times. And even help other guilds raid. I kited fear for 4 hours for Europa i think? Just for the hell of it, i wanted nothing.

Dem pixels, yo! But seriously...

I do it for fun. The fun I get with hanging with friends I've known for months or years, the fun of playing a small part in achieving a much bigger goal, the fun of watching my friends (and my guild) succeed, and the fun of playing a game I love. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I love getting new pixels too, for making my char stronger, for pride and for fashion's sake.

But if you're doing it just for the pixels, you're gonna have a bad time.

Been asking myself the same question.

I never raided on live, so it still has a feeling of "new" for me.

Point to raiding? There is no point to EQ at all besides what you make of it. The “point” for most of us is that P99 is much harder and unforgiving than other games and as a consequence the “pay off” feeling you get when you finally complete your epic, or get your Vulak weapon, or whatever, is 100x greater than in other games because there are no short cuts to a lot of this stuff (Chardok being the exception *grumble*). Even with the content not being “difficult”, with limited loot drops even mediocre items hold a very high game value.

If you are looking to derive great meaning and satisfaction from EQ, please seek mental help...EQ for me is a way to unwind after work and I enjoy trekking the harsh land of Norrath where there are consequences to f#cking up can be great and time consuming (it makes not f#cking up that much more satisfying)

I've read that melee is top tier dps now, what changed that pushed melee above casters?
