Subject: Re: EQ slang


I don't want to be specific about locations but there are certain creatures
who get caught in walls when you lure them there and then you can slowly, but
surely, bellow them to death. I haven't done it as much as I wanted to
because it isn't worth it anymore as the creatures in question are mostly
blue to me now but imagine how happy I'd have been to have found this spot
when they were all red. My point really is--hold on to your helms,
RPers--who cares how you get your levels as long as you get them and get on
to the getting of the cool stuff so you can whip Lord Mistmore? Oh the
dismay and anger the purple people showered me with as they watched me
"cheat". Far as I am concerned, playing honorably with an object like a
computer game is just plain silly. If the bug wasn't there I *couldn't*
exploit it so therefore it is Verant's fault, not mine, that I--or anyone
else for that matter--can use it. It isn't cheating. It is using your head
to take advantage of an opportunity granted, intentional or otherwise.
Bottom line: RPers, generally, are exactly as Shanda said--a bunch of wacko
powermad control mongers who chastise and harrass "normal"--stress the word
"normal"--people. They are like the Bob Barrs of Everquest. Play how they
want you to play or they will contact a GM(the granddaddies and epitomy of
powermad RPers)and bring legislation against you. This is the only problem I
have ever found with an otherwise outstanding game. Purple people mind your
own freakin' business and quit whining to the GMs every time you see someone
playing the way your dork ass wouldn't.
