Any good guides for GINA?

When the devs comments are it's not enforcable. It kinda makes it all a moot point. That also states they don't like it. #1 complaint about p99 blue high lvl is almost always "rule lawyers" for a reason.

Yeah, the devs can't do anything about it apparently, so the whole discussion is likely irrelevant.

But someone asked "Why does it bother people?"

Because it's cheating and no amount of weaselly pedantic rule lawyering changes that.

This entirely hinges upon how you want to define "UI".

What other way can you define it than User Interface and is not a log file a user interface? Next we will tell me MUDs have no UI.

Happy to agree to disagree, just making sure both sides of the argument are out there so new players can make an informed decision about how they want to play the game.

People are free to choose it they want to cheat or play as EQ Jesus intended.

Just as they are free to put their head in the sand, praise.

Im happy cheating, thanks.

Cause it’s pretty much cheating. Lol

You guys can rationalize it all you want, but people don’t like it because you’re cheating and they don’t want to have to cheat as well to be on an even playing field.

Its not straight cheating per se, that would be using ShowEQ. A legit cheat program.

This is more laziness. To prop up a bad player who can't keep track. Its the same argument of manual transmission vs. Flappy Paddle transmission. Yes, using the flappy paddles is superior, the driver doesn't have to worry about errors as much but it will never be the same as a good manual driver.

They should admit the truth, they like using crutches and don't understand what the big deal is. That one poster said that (someone says that in each of these threads). Maybe they can't play EQ without them.


Edit: did any posters here actually have a overlay running on their gaming PC, how did they override EQ not being in a window to display it. How much resource did it take to run it and did it lag your computer while running EQ. If you actually did these things then you would remember. If it was on another computer, as lame as that is, how did you connect it to EQ to display such. Did you really go to such lengths just to get some loot tables, DPS parses and chat logs.

I mean.. its easy to load up a GINA that came later in EQs life to, and I quote, "Make EQ easy".

Yes, great analogy

"It doesn't restore functionality to the UI it just puts that functionality back onto your UI while you're playing" is incredibly pedantic and would only be argued by somebody who knows exactly what they're doing and knows that it flies in the face of the very purpose of this server.
