Cool New Crafted Stuff in GU43 - Page 20

Wow. I've always told my friends who MU* that EQ2Flames is basically the WORA of Everquest, but Gaige has finally lowered the site to that level. That may be his most epic accomplishment yet.

I have to hand it to you Gaige, I laughed my ass off at your posts. But not in the "that was hilarious, I wish I had his sense of humor" way... more in the "holy christ that's funny, but I'm glad I'm not that dumb fuck" way. The way you laugh somewhere deep inside at a retarded kid being retarded, even though you feel bad about it because it's just schadenfreude at the expense of some poor schmuck who just can't help being a retard in public.

Most people understand limits. Even if they don't obey every law of God or man, they understand there are lines that human beings do not cross, and that crossing them results in society shunning them as animals who cannot be trusted not to crap on the carpet. They are little turds in a big bowl, of no consequence. Gaige does not deserve our ire. He cannot help swimming in that bowl, any more than a fish can help being wet. If you feel moved to note his existence at all, I urge you to find your inner angel and instead offer him your pity.

But, has gaige broken any official site rules by bringing up her personal life, and her child. He definitely broke the accepted rules of flaming and has lost the argument. I can't help but think that if *I* had attacked one of your friends like this, my title would be 'Owned' right now.

-h

I don't think I ever said shit to Calthine before she left, tbh. I was involved in shit that didn't involve her other than her saying no one could talk about my peen on this site. I'd have to read old threads to make sure though.

As for site rules about talking about someone's blog? What kind of fucking idiot are you? Jesus fucking Christ next thing you know you'll be chopping off your dick and typing in giant bold purple font. I swear the thickness and stupidity of some people still continues to amaze, after all these years playing this game.

As for breaking the rules of flaming and losing the argument, what do you know about flaming? Apparantly nothing if you're such a weakass that you wouldn't cite someone's blog due to your locked tight online morals.

Also, I'll attack whoever the fuck I want. So if you can't handle reading real flames then stick to carebear corner you pussy.

I felt trapped on Dr. Phil the entire time I struggled to read that text flung from the bible belt, I'm not lying.

Raiding is the hardest playstyle, and so long as it is a part of the game it should result in the best rewards. When I do get around to going on a raid, I want the items I have a chance at to be worth the effort. The rest of the time, I want good gear to ogle at, stuff that I can, with enough effort, aspire to one day acquire. Item progression is an integral piece of this game. When you screw it up you make the game less fun for people at all levels of play.

But a lot of people don't want to admit that. They think that their fun is directly proportional to the stats on the items, that they will only have as much fun as a raider if their gear is the same. If they got what they wished for, they would ultimately find the game unsatisfying, but would probably be unable to explain why. The reason is that this game is based around character advancement, primarily through items. There needs to always be a goal, just barely out of reach, that the player is striving for. Without that aspect, the game is shallow and unsatisfying.

Crafting recipes that require ingredients from mobs are a big step in the right direction, but the items they produce should still be in line with the difficulty of the mobs involved. Those charm slot items look nice in a vacuum, but they blow most of the competition out of the water. Sure this is only one slot, but when you look at other recent crafting changes, such as the block chance on MC items, you see an alarming pattern. Domino has done great things for crafters, but I fear she lacks strategic vision for how some of these things affect the rest of the game. Clearly it's not entirely her fault, but she cannot expect to escape the blame for problems that arise from her area of expertise.

Faction requirements make these premium? Mebbe, mebbe not. I can't remember if the cut off for crafting writs for faction is at 20k or 30k.
If 30k, then I wouldn't necessarily call these premium recipes. I'm not touching the charm argument.

Fuck you nibbler. If you think thats true, why don't you take me to task on some specific things I've owned myself on? You just don't like me cause my words hurt. All i did was ask LFG a question, why don't you butt the fuck out if you don't have anything worth saying. I don't give a shit what you do for this site, just because you know how to code doesn't mean anyone gives a rat's hymen about your opinion on anything else.

LFG, I wasn't even talking about a permaban, but this seemed like a case where gaige needed a cooling off period. I also didn't mean for it to be important that it was one of your friends being attacked (I think the keyboard typed that by itself, its possessed). I am way too lazy to look it up, but i remember someone getting smacked down for posting a picture of someone elses kid they got off their myspace page. Course, now that i think of it, it might have been the guy who posted his myspace page who got banned for his own good. But, I thought I remembered in that thread, or another one about the same time, that you said that when people started talking about others personal intimate lives like that, and showed themselves to be a stalker, it was enough for you to take action. Maybe thats all null and void in this case since calthine posts about it in a blog (kinda like when the emo from AB posted about his wife banging his guild leader).

But seriously, if i cared about her kid, her money problems, or her mommying skills, I would go read the blog myself. It damn sure hasn't got anything to do with crafting or itemization, so I don't see how this is the proper place to bring it up. And yes gaige, you lost the argument in like 2 posts. Way to flail around and look desperate.

Not only that, but any adventurer who boxes their main for crafting will already have these factions, thus it changes nothing!

Another space monkey willing to sacrifice himself for the cause! Slap a helmet on him and send him up.

QFE

I don't box but I already had max faction w/Riliss and Danak. I did the repeatable Bathezid one 14 times to hit 30k.
Hardest part was finding someone to keep me company so I wouldn't punch some baby irl from boredom.

Take you to task? And what, waste my time sifting through your mindless dribble? No thanks, it's obvious that you're a complete retard.
