Default Green confusion from a P99 casual. Pls help

Feedback from Green players is that they're playing something new, and that makes it better. They don't have to raid fear, Kael, or ToV.

Uh

Aren't they just leveling up to fight fear golems, naggy/vox, then later trakanon, and then after that be time locked back in fear, Kael, and ToV?

Am I missing something? Is green a new game? New content? Are people just taking 50 step backwards to go 50 steps forward and end up in the same spot with more work? Am I crazy?

Your point is fundamentally stupid because there is no value to video games besides having fun and killing time.

Green is fun because everyone is on equal footing and the game is much much harder than Blue server and many of us like that aspect of the new server

I agree with your overall point, but I would say that the game isn't really much harder. At least at lower levels, any competent group can chain pull yellows and reds all day.

Except it’s not, because every group I’ve been in has done so. If everyone knows what they’re doing it’s great and the gear doesn’t really matter at lower levels. Now, probably like level 20+ you won’t be chain pulling yellows and reds without being geared, but at lower levels mobs simply don’t have high enough HP pools or hit hard enough to survive a conpetent full group regardless of whether they have gear or not.

So for anyone on blue, the green experience is to just imagine if someone hacked everyone's accounts and deleted their characters?

Nothing's different other than a character wipe?

I, too, enjoy building groups with 3 or more pet casters.

This is just completely false

1) absolutly no rezes
2) everyones gear is garbage
3) Red cons will kill your entire group
4) Things like Hill Giants and Sand Giants are currently unkillable and roam zones wiping groups. Same with high level dungeon spawns (trannix in BB for example)
5) XP feels either slower, or we are just killing slower due to no twinking so it feels slower, either way the net outcome is leveling is slower than on Blue by a lot
6) No Tab Target cycling AGHHHGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
7) everyone is poor, buying spells is a big deal

Really? Because my group without a tank chain cleared red cons on trainer hill yesterday (including the Orc Trainer) using only two level 4 spell Enchanter pets. If you have a good and smart group, gear doesn’t really matter at low levels. Before that, I was in a BB group that was consistently pulling yellow Goblins and red Goblin Shamans and Wizards mostly non-stop with the increased respawn rate.

Maybe you’ve had bad luck with groups?
