Correct. I had to look back a few pages to see what led to being quoted.

I in no way agree with the contrarian dude. DPS-racing is fucking stupid. Being prepared for a Stormfeather gank after 18+ hours is not. People are assholes.
It is... yet he does have a point, and as an unpopular opinion it's worth repeating.

We all see the PNP as a good thing to balance the shortcomings of EQ yet they were an integral part of the game. The PNP is the very begining of a slipery slope that brought us instanced content and the death of the MMO genre as we like it. I think the best that should be hoped for is a player-enforced PnP but the community has a bad track record implementing that.

For the record a lot of us played on servers where PnP did not exist (the official TLPs) and we survived to tell the tale. Sure it was a lot more toxic than what we remember from classic but it's an experience some people want. And it's the true unadultered experience.

Competition is not griefing. You shouldn't use comparisons you don't understand.

Me forcing you to sit and wait 19 hours or fail because you lack discipline and I do not, is competition. Loser.

Okay, this is completely off topic, but for some reason this reminded me of those endurance challenges they used to do on Big Brother. God, I hope I'm not the only person who used to watch Big Brother...

I like the last one on the list. Literally just how long can you stand here pressing a button. Now I think we all can relate to that one.

I would consider it more annoying than competitive. Everquest athletes here mostly agree.
