Default As a competitive raider on WoW the raid scene on Green makes no sense to me.

On WoW the difference between a top raider and a casual raider is MASSIVE -- a casual raider will never even come close to having the same items as an end-game raider.

On P99 however, I inspect a player from Seal Team and I inspect a player from a random Federation guild, and their items are generally identical (in fact I have friends in Seal Team who have worse gear than me and I barely even raid).

Can someone explain to me why players get so heated over who gets to go first? I see these 18 hour days that my friends in ST put in, and I don't envy them. Especially when I know my more casual friends will likely end up with the same exact items without putting in any where near as much effort or work.

I'm happy with Green honestly. I'm going to LOL so hard when Kunark comes out and all of my friends who spent the last 5 months farming DKP suddenly realize that they should have been farming plat.

when they spend that on level 60 spells and epic items youll see why they were farming that dkp

and then they will make soooo much more plat than they could make in classic in just the first few months of kunark.

I'm not going to give away my secret, but farming plat is dramatically easier pre-kunark. There's a reason guards all get buffed once it dropped. I can easily make 10K a day while tabbed out watching youtube and doing exercise in my room. All that will go away once Kunark goes, and I know for a fact that while I have several hundred thousand plat saved up, most of my raider friends don't even have enough money to pay their weekly dues.

Bullshit. you'd be lucky to be able to make 300 plat an hour farming guards especially once factoring in competition for the better plat farms.

Something eludes me here
If your cash cows are classic, will they suddenly disappear with Kunark? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No-lifing Halfling guards for 12 hours a day is hardly a secret, my guy.
