| It really is kinda funny to watch the ex-ubers* who are now casual*, but who still want to raid and do their other "fun" stuff attempt to justify breaking their word and dismissing parts of the game they don't want to do any longer. How long did you sit in lower guk at level 50 killing frenzys? magi? lords? How's that different from a few hours here or there in Azshera/Tyr's hand/silithus? Oh, right, you don't want to spend 50-60 hours a week in a game any more. You've grown up and have other responsibilities. Right. Welcome to casual-land. You never needed money in EQ, because you were constantly farming it whether you realized it or not. Plus, obviously, the setbacks were experience, not gold. Same thing really, the setback = time.
*ubers = people who in EQ were in their local "server first" guild; *casual = people who played a couple hours here, but have more pressing things to do outside the game.
No disrespect intended, but dang, it sucks to grow up, doesn't it?
Which brings up another question, If raiding is all you want to do, WHY is that all you want to do? It can't really be the challenge any more (other than new content). You've got everything on farm status. To improve your character? Isn't that what you're buying gold for? You buy gold to raid to improve your character via purple gear (for you or guildies), why not just buy characters with purples once you've experienced all the different fights? Because it's not YOUR character? Neither's the gold you're spending. *shrug*. |
