Subject: RE: [eqbards] Test of ...


I disagree to the extent that casual gamers cannot ever participate in any
substantial way in dynamic events because if they create one that is for
lower levels a 50th level character can just waltz in and completely take
over the event.

We're not talking about rare spawns and time spent camping here. I was
totally unable to do much of anything in any of the events I was lucky
enough to be present at. Even though the npcs that were to be fought were
white or yellow to me and my group in some cases, they were just being nuked
by level 40+'s so there was no point in actually trying to attack them. The
few we did engage would get blasted to smithereens by
someone long before our group of four could ever bring it below half.

My complaint is those people who spend more time on the game don't get more
enjoyment out of dynamic events, they get all of it. Might as well hold all
of them on the planes from now on far as I can see. We're not talking about
levels or items here, we're talking about being allowed to actually
participate.

there's nothing wrong with that. do you disagree with the statement that
if you spend more time in the game you should have better items and attain
higher levels? True casual gamers aren't concerned that much with items
and levels. the only people upset by this statement are the power gamers
who don't have time to put into the game.
