That aside, I do agree the ruleset could be altered. As it is, one guild ends up taking everything.

Funny how people, no matter the context, will pick and choose what strengthens "their" side while ignoring all the relative information. If you wanna play classic you better have 56k, no discord and throw your cell phone away while you're at it. Where does one draw the next imaginary line? This logical fallacy is for the sheep. | |||

Classic on my server was you’d get trained if they didn’t like you or they wanted to steal your camp. It wasn’t constant or often, but it would happen. Or two groups DPS racing trying to steal the mobs. Good times.

"Degenerate" is one of those words that says a lot about a person--namely that they are a gambler, a physicist, or a racist.

EQ raiding is staring blankly at a screen spamming tracking/pettracking or duckporting for several hours on end in the hopes of that something will pop. Then everyone logs on and rushes the boss in <20 secs. Items are dropped, the people who have the most unhealthy amount of hours staring at the screen gets the good drops. Rince and repeat. For all the shit WoW gets it is far more demanding in skill and the top end gear actually requires something more than unemployment status and autism. If you however like a social game with a big world full of dangers, EQ gives you that. | |||

POP almost out an end to this by limiting the number of people who could be flagged, but even then you could still bring 100 people to actually kill the mob. I say implement a betting system. Each guild in contest gets to "bet" on the number of players with whom they can defeat an encounter. Then attempts proceed in ascending order. Guild with the fewest players gets first attempt - if they fail they're locked out of that specific mob til next spawn. I'll tell ya it's quite interesting how closely ClassicWOW has come to resemble P99. Groups now level only via AOE dungeon groups - you sit at the dungeon entrance and a level 60 clears the dungeon for your (after you've paid them, of course). The highest end guilds clear all the hard raid content, then you walk in and loot your items (after you've paid them, of course) etc etc | |||

All raids are now GDKP (gold DKP), meaning step 1 is buy 50,000+ gold from websites. Step 2 is get into one of these raids where a core group of raiders carries a bunch of whales through the raid. Then bid your bought gold on items as they drop. The most expensive item I think went for like 185,000 gold or something like that So unless you buy gold, you will likely never save enough to be able to get any items, and since there are so many GDKP raids, normal guild runs are dying out. Also, botting is rampant. Bots fly hack and run under the ground. Bots are running on scripts 24/7. It is almost impossible to find certain materials used in high end flasks because the bots have them locked down 24/7. And blizz, just like daybreakgames for EQ, won't ban the bots or deal with the bot problem because bots = money for them EQ TLP is full of bot armies, all scripted to lock a particular zone down and farm it 24/7, then sell items for Krono (real $$). So these games have their own problems. Hopefully P99 never gets that bad | |||

Sometime during the PoP era there was a post on my server message board from a shadow knight that wanted to stop leveling in the early 50s and just slam AA in Karnor's Castle, at a much slower rate than was expected at the time. He just really loved Karnors. Someone commented, 'why would you kill drolvargs, just to get better at killing drolvargs, just to get better at killing drolvargs? There's no point without some progression.'
That's really been sitting on my mind lately. | ||
