Bro I never once stated that removing yt is going to diminish pvp on red99, I said it diminishes the fun of it. Who gives a shit if people are all about it to boost there ego. Do you really think that if they don't put this in the same douchebags aren't going to find another way to get off by rubbing their internet glory in everyones faces?
And not having a leaderboard is just fucking stupid. It creates competition and makes the entire experience better. Everyone I see advocating for the removal of any type of competitive feature for red99 is basically terrified that whenever this server does go up they're going to have to back up all the shit they've been talking on here for how many months. I mean if your only argument for removing optional features that have zero impact on the gameplay of the server is because you don't want to deal with big bad internet meanies then my question to you is why do you even care about a red box in the first place? Theres going to be dickheads one way or another no matter what. Not having a leaderboard or yt isn't going to change peoples attitudes.

I've been playing these EQEmu boxes for the past year - any time yellow text or leaderboards are involved it changes the gameplay for the worse, UNLESS it is a temporary competitive server that is actually meant to have a "winner" (see: discord). You claim I am making an argument for removing optional features because I'm afraid of PVP which is entirely laughable. If you had played any of the past few boxes you'd know perfectly well that I actively seek PVP regardless and make that fact well known.
On the flip side, if you are arguing to implement
optional features that have zero impact on the gameplay of the server then why are you arguing for them to be implemented in the first place? The only people that give a shit about some fictitious measure of PVP skill via a ranking system are the same ones that will be out ganking players only when HT refreshes to "win the box". Yellow text changes group PVP for the worse when the same scrubs that give a shit about implementing a system like that are the ones letting their healers get concentrated because they were too busy saving backstab to last-hit that wizard for global ooc bragging rights.
You haven't got a single valid concern for implementing these features other than "omg so fun to brag when i style on u lolol", pretty evident by your claims that anyone that doesn't want them is afraid of PVP. And yet these same people that argue FOR yellow text will likely be the first faggots to zone plug when they are about to die, as if that somehow absolves them from having lost the fight (something I've seen first hand, time and time again fighting these "box legends"). Why would I want to implement server-wide item looting if I was honestly concerned about yellow text happening? You don't need a leaderboard or yellow text to earn the reputation of a good PVPer pal.
