I don't like the idea of blaming the common people for common people behavior. I've been arguing that the system of rules is wack for a long time. The consistency isn't there..... Which allows for GMs and Guides to be flexible in situations but it also will create a lot of hurt feelings over the inevitable inconsistency. People are simply trying to compete to improve their character. No one wants to run around dying with a level 1 character forever. People derive fun from winning and improving. Is Super Mario fun if you never make it past the 1st level?
Things are very limited in classic with only so much to camp. People competing hard for them was going to be an inevitability. | ||

You can make programmed systems that police themselves in the spirit of classic that weren't possible or thought of back in the day.
It's like baseball's robo-umpire system that a lot of people push for; the technology is there and people want to replace humans because humans will get things wrong where a machine will not. I mean, if you watch baseball you'll see that we have the tech. The broadcasts often show pitch replays and constantly show where an umpire got a call wrong. /list is the EverQuest version of Robo-Umpires. You don't want it because it'll stop you from being a scumbag making biased decisions, but it's needed to remove human error from the equation.

Yes, I get it Secrets. It's the same argument that can used with Fraps. Has it really made Everquest better? No it hasn't.
The game is worse off with staff implemented CSR mechanics. And that's entirely the problem. Anyone who ever played on live knows that the servers govern'd themselves. It made for the best player experiences. It's not to be a scumbag, but to play the game it was actually meant to be played. ROBO umps aren't used in baseball for the same exact reason. IT CHANGES THE GAME. | ||

Just because a technology is introduced, doesn't mean it has to be used. We have turned a 1999 game into a 2020 carebear version. We even rooted the fucking dragons. Really?
All of these implementations are staff related. Nothing to do with improving the game. I can't thank Nilbog, Rogean, and other staff members enough for making all of this happen, as I wouldn't even be able to relive all this with yall, but we have lost the concept of what made this game what it was. We claim we want to cut down on the CSR issues, and instead, implemented mechanics that are centralized AROUND CSR issues, it's changed the game. I mean, look no further then Blue. And non-classic mechanics are creeping into Teal and Green now. Gimmie a break. | ||
