Are we respecting the journey in Everquest?

I appreciate your thoughts Baler. I just respectfully see things a little different.

I’m not sure what’s stopping a small guild from tracking, racing, conpeteting other than themselves wanting to put in some time and effort. We’ve seen in the past and today it’s not a unobtainable goal when they do those things. If you cannot reach your goals with your guild I don’t see why joining other like minded people is frowned upon or out of the question and the server must make these changes

Think less of these guilds as fellowships of friends, but more as bot armies, or shared accounts, that are composed of keyed clerics, warriors, shaman, mages, and trackers. Guild names change, but the bot armies are forever. They may fly under a new banner, but the meta here is really about these groups.

With that, joining like minded people, or getting your friends together is not really in the picture for any of this. An upstart guild on P99 is more about leveling bots than it is about friends.

While I think Naethyn is being a tad dramatic there is some truth.

People would be shocked by the number of CoTH Bots that are camped around p99.
We're talking hundreds of accounts with the sole purpose of logging in to coth a guild to a raid target.
There is lots to argue about in terms of "shits classic" on that one.

Delete p99 wiki, only allowed to use waybackmachine allakhazam. Have one GM train a sand giant up and down the oasis coast every hour. Bam. Classic.

I'd edit my post but rnf,..
Also rangers parked in various zones for tracking raid targets.
And guild clerics + guild rogues.

May even be thousands of these accounts combined.

Go outside.

I'm just curious if you had a smaller guild that could take down targets but you didn't want to join the un can you snipe their picks

This.

If you truly want classic, delete all accounts not linked to one player. You get one account and that’s it. Solves virtually every problem.

Are we missing the part that a guild and players chose to put time and effort into these bots to help them reach their goals?

"these changes" = 1 week out of every 13. It's a game.
