2) There is absolutely skill involved in this game, or any game for that matter, and you damn well know it. There are people that can play their characters like a symphony conductor and then there are people that keyboard turn, don't macro, click spells and can't find their way through EC with a map and a tour guide. They have poor reaction timing, limited spatial awareness, zero knowledge of game mechanics, and no desire to improve any of those attributes but would rather complain about how terribly unfair it all is.

Shit players absolutely exist in this game, and odds are, if you have never spotted one... it's you.
Has this sumbitch been spying on me for the last 8 years ??? wtf

Shit, i've been keyboard turning in EQ since 1999 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] in fact, i just re-installed P99 on my new computer after 3 years and was having trouble controlling my character and couldn't figure out why until I realized i had my arrow keys set to strafe instead of turn. I also click spells and hotbuttons. I'm terrible at this game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yendor's also the type of guy that will AFK-tank the AC with a shovel for three years just to deny the server of a JBoots source for that long.

Just a nasty guy all-around, folks.

to OP if you still reading this.

Just use sow potions. over the life your character their will be very few instances where Jboots will make the difference over a sow potion. By the time your toon is higher level(to take advantage of jboots more frequently ) you can just camp the OT Ac and get your boots.

HAH! Me too man.. I don't have a special UI installed. I still click each spell, and my macro's don't get any more complicated than an incoming message.. I am also terrible at this game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But that's how i like to play!!

Best way to level up sense heading (and forage if you have the skill). I can and do mouse-look, but at least 50% of the time I'm hitting that A or D button to turn.

Mouse look, Q and E for strafe, bind skills to Q and E... still don't need to keyboard turn and you get your skill ups. This also leaves ASD open for additional hotbutton action. 2 simple rebinds makes 100% of the difference in precision and control. I suggest you guys force yourself to try it for a week, you will not regret it. It will feel really bad at first, and you will have to break habits, but the payout is significant.

Meh, I’ve seen shitty players. The thing is, you have to be really dumb to be bad at this game. And there’s only so “good” you can be, excepting perhaps enchanters. That’s a class with a high skill cap.

I can't turn sharp enough without using keyboard turn and mouse look simultaneously. I have my mouse sensitivity maxed. I was still getting caught on corners pulling Mistmoore for the level 30-somethings. I had to switch to keyboard turn before I had to ask a newbie in banded armor to come corpse drag my level 60 ass out of a castle full of level 30 mobs.
