And Im the idiot? Enjoy the desert mother fucker, Ill be back here stateside, smoking fat grass, fucking the girls in your family, and most likely sleeping without any gunfire within earshot.

I cant really tell, but your picture where your o so proud to be part of the baby killing machine there, you look like a little dude too, which would explain your genetic need to dominate something there Napolean.

Now I understand you, and dismiss you back to your military machine, and your surrogate penis. /salute

PS: Private Joker? is that you? I loved that fuckin movie son!

what does my chosen profession have to do with killing, pulling raid mobs mate? in reality, none of my posts to you were as demeaning or disrespecful as this was, did this post make whats left of your masculinity, ego, and sense of well being any better? I have absolutely no need , feelings, or discrepencies within my emotional, social makeup to dominate anyone. who I am, what I am, and the things I have accomplished are all that I need for my self worth. I married a woman taller than I am, with a strong mind and sense of self worth, my exact match in just about everything. as for you fucking my woman, id like to see you try mate. And i can honestly say, my life is a helluva lot more exciting than yours is

Once you know how to kill a mob then you should be able to kill it each time you pull it. In order to have any competition you need to have a massive amount of contesteds mobs. That way, when its avaterkilling_guild01's raid time they need to choose their targets based on what they can kill and what gear drops they want, thus giving lesser guilds a chance to learn and compete with each other with 5-6 other contesteds up at the time.

For the mid-range guilds. THey need to decide whether to go for the "easy" contested that still drops some upgrade or to go for the tougher ones that have even better items, but they need to learn and might not be able to kill before some other guild shows up.

IMO the contested are for people who have moved above and beyond instanced content. If you are still working through VP, chances are you are better off on figuring VP out before Avatar of Hate out. Avatars are level 88's and hit like trucks and provide poor aggro abilities for tanks - certainly numerous gears obtained throughout VP or Trakanon are made to help with this a lot. I think the difficulty/progression is fairly linear. VP < Trakanon < avatars generally speaking. With each server only have a couple guilds farming VP I would expect its natural only a couple guilds per server are trying or even capable of killing avatars.

That was exactly what dominus aimed at...having contested mobs but not ones as hardcore as avatars. Here you have contested killable by midrange guilds but, when you gimp them out you gotta gimp out the loot. There will never be avatar quality loot tables that guilds progressing through the instances have a shot at (which seems to be the fuss). That just flat out isn't how the progression/difficulty was made to work. Having less people capable of getting high end loot only makes it that more desirable and thats the fundamental of what makes gear fun to wear.

Shit isn't cool or fun if everyone and their uncle has it/can get it. Playful example; Remember when SoE gave us those free "ice hand" illusion LoN thing. Sure that was cool...but I really stopped enjoying it when I realized every player on the server had it. Hope this expresses the concept.

lmao this cracked me up. Like a race isn't a contest either, just a matter of who gets to the line first. Contested is contested, PvP just adds an element. Doesn't mean the latter isn't contested at all. We all know by now, yes, some Eq2 servers enable PvP function, thanks you for pointing that out.

Kind of how the other day I got these cookies, they were not free but I didn't have to pay a dime out of my pocket. Those PvP'ers always providing a bang-your-head-into-the-wall laugh.

Has anyone started a RaR thread on alesis yet??? Him and Caswydian are two peas from the same pod. How these two equate real life professions to killing raid mobs is retardation beyond being mentally handicapped.

Your cookies aside, how is a one-horse race a contest? You may have come first, but you also came last.

I dont think a contested can every truly be a contested when its standing in the middle of 30 solo mobs in a wide open zone. A couple of these types are okay, but they should really put an 86x4 at the bottom of seb or Chardok. Contested dugeons with contested epics at the bottom are always a good time.

Newsflash retard, I don't play games to have competition against players 100% of the time, I play them to have competition against developers to see how intelligent they are at designing content. Good thing EQ2 has shitty developers who seemingly get dominated at every turn.

You compete with the guys who design the game, and who script it so that it has a definitive way to be beaten? Thats awesome, now I understand what competition means lol. I mean, they design them TO be beaten, so competing against them is....fuck it, my head hurts now.

Sweet, O please do. Let my infamy ring loud and clear across all these boards. Stop with the flattery drone, your giving me a fuckin hard on.

ps: I married a woman taller than I am- i almost shit in my pants laughing so hard. I couldnt figure out if thats a pro or a con lol. Like what do people say when you walk down the street together? "Holy shit Private Joker, your a tiny little fucker huh"? Or "Damn, thats a big bitch!"
