Yabbering about bullshit that isnt the problem?

Ridiculed because I am stupid? Go get yourself a couple masters degrees, hell, maybe even a job?

You can sit in your mom's basement and eat cheetos all day long while trolling message boards and hiding behind your sexy mangina in an mmo all day with your 5000+ post count to feel powerful if you want. Have fun with that.

I was simply trying offer a little perspective from a "been there done that" in another mmo.

I guess this isnt the place to post if you want to actually compliment this game, only if you want to bitch and moan about it.

See my friend, your first post was a question that deserved answered in an honest and serious way. Your second post makes you just look like a fucking asshole.
Why come here to bitch at us about bitching then you fucking idiot?
Go play your game back in happy land.

The second post is just as valid as the first. Read some of the responses.

The game stops being fun when it becomes a roll of dice on a random number generator

Did I make that shit up?

I don't even see that post in this thread! And I have a job, in fact, I'm working right now. How about you?

Ya, I'm at work too.

And this is where lack of experience comes into play. EQ2 has had the same kind of shit happen to it as you describe above. See, you bitch about the end game content about WoW just like we complain about end game content in EQ2. Before you start coming down on us for bitching and moaning about SOE, put in the end game time that we have through a few expansions - then come back and bitch right along with us!

And this thread really doesn't have any "flames" in it. It could be alot worse...

Just a little persepective~

Im not trying to bitch at you guys for bitching about the game. I understand it happens everywhere. Like I said, Im trying to point out how the grass isn't always greener on the other side, and that the SAME STUFF you bitch about here, is in every game.

There really is no escape of it.

I recognized that I would probably complain later, and I recognize that the same bugs and problems are present here.

My main point was, to see a bunch of people quit and say how they are gonna play wow cause its better, its not, its the same shit.

I applaud you for changing games, and trying something new. Its exactly what I am doing.

I just dont get the outward hatred and drama on this forum, all this stuff about developers and whatnot, I just dont get it. You act as if other games are different and this game is so corrupt and awful.

It is the lesser of evils, best of the worst, etc.

Why post your angry outbursts here? I mean, seriously.

Hi, and welcome to EQ2Flames. You must be new here :P

I really don't know shit about WoW raiding but let's take this Vashj chap, how rewarding would it be if you raced to be the first to kill him, he was unkillable for six months in the expansion, they ninjapatched a fix for him after everyone gave up trying, and then the first guild that gets it an hour later turns out to have devs inside of it and a complete manifest of everything the mob does. And on top of that the loot that drops is literally not as good as solo quest drops.

When they said "random number generator" they mean that some endgame raid mobs have a good chance of wiping your raid due to shitty balance even if you execute perfectly. i.e. imagine a mob that randomly and incurably takes a quarter of your raid force out of the fight, if it hits the wrong quarter of your raid force you are basically boned. They might also mean the fact that the loot looks like it was randomly generated because it's complete crap.

Hence the fallacy in arguing about something you have middling knowledge about. And by the way, my real life schlong is obviously bigger than yours: been there, done that, on the way to the PhD, bitch!

Actually, I'm posting here from my yacht out in the Mediterranean where the government pays me $500 an hour to work on a cure for cancer and some other top secret projects I can't tell you about. I'm sort of envious of you people with a basement though, the glare from the warm afternoon sun makes it hard to see my monitor. I'll be back in a second, the beautiful women that attend to my every need are here with dinner.

The game is not bad at all in the lower levels. Infact some of my best memories were being a noob in the lower tiers of Blackburrow, Thundering Steppes, ROV, etc. Those were good times.

The sad fact is that the end game sucks. When you start making up excuses to not login and raid VP, or your guild has to break it into 3-4 nights because people don't wanna do it..it's time to move on or take a break.
