Sure it was.Nobody ever trained sand giants or the spectres to the docks in Oasis. No, that hardly ever happened. Casting a heal or buff on someone to give them aggro...nah, who would do sucha thing.
EQ had the same percentage of fuckheads as WoW, just a smaller overall population. The on ly difference in WoW is that the game allows you to progress IN SPITE OF THEM. |
Sure there was the occasional bonus exp pull, err Train. And someone would leapfrog and you'd simply work out the math on the pulls and leapfrog them a couple pulls later when it was more beneficial.
Bad things happened. But you either rolled with the punches and came out on top (most of the time
), you took the Drama to the Community and let the people's court decide who was in the wrong, or your added someone to your shit list and got ready to blow some karma for a feelgood moment.
But there were also all the good things, saving someone and being saved in return; getting masses of group invites because random actions with the Joe Randoms got you on his friend list. Hell, half the time you did something for someone, it wasn't wholly altruistic; you were happy for the bonus exp when the train came, or you saved Joe Random because you knew after the mobs ate him, they'd come after you; or whatever. Enlightened self interest. Most players were on the same page in that regard. Even if you didn't make a friend, you showed respect and, very often, got respect back for it at some later point.
For your average player, they had goods and bads. But to hear her tell it, LadyVex was the most shit on player on her server however, such that the entire community rallied around trying to delevel her back to east commons.
Or something.
