Unfortunately on p99 skill has come down to who can sit on their ass and do absolutely nothing for long periods of time.

This is actually surprisingly challenging for people, particularly youth and even more so when couples with an accompanied continuous demand for alertness. It is an incredibly taxing activity. I can't stay alert and idle anywhere near that long without getting restless. I either need to be doing something or be free to let my mind drift. I choose not to participate and instead help in other ways on a team with players who can do the waiting. that option is open to everyone. don't be angry that your team doesn't have people able to do that for them. either find people to fill the role of join a team that has those positions filled ^^

That's not skill, that's not competition, that's a sickness. I always picture some of the guys on this server going around and trying to compete in real life. They go to the grocery store and cut in line right in front of the old lady and yell "HA too slow!" Then they rush home and cut everyone off on the road while whispering to themselves "nobody is as good as me, I'm a racing god". Then they finally get home and stare at their computer screen for 16 hours, talking to each other about how good they are at Everquest.

If you have to pay attention, you're doing it wrong.

You can pretty much say that about any game. I do think EQ is particularly good at attracting (and even forming) these types of people, especially when it comes to the bubble of recursive praise "elite" EQ players stroke each other with while hanging out.

They don't call it EverCrack because it does good things to you...
