Wait until it's not all newbie zone grouping and the two zones you can get exp from are 2/3 box groups 24/7 and none if them add you because they want the BIS for all 6 of their toons. Players should shun boxers and let them know that they are not welcome here in order to discourage this behavior. You're effectively taking that away from yourself and from others for *nothing*.īoxing should be made illegal on Mangler. What isn't worthless is the social experience that and enriches people's lives. But this is a video game and your virtual currency is worthless. I suppose it gives people a feeling that they are powerful. Why on earth would you want to join a server that was created to give people that experience and ruin it? Mangler was created to supposedly recreate that genuine experience. You're decreasing the element of danger which makes this game exciting. When you have a high level who tanks, heals, and decreases the difficulty of the game, you are taking that experience and feeling of being valued from someone else.

It's the healer and the crowd controller and the tank and the damage dealer who all feel valued and feel like they are making contributions to the group. It's the difficulty of EverQuest in our reliance on the different classes on the group which make this game a rare gem. While two boxing is not as bad as the box army, you're still taking away what could be a role for another person.

The regular player no longer can get the same value for something that they put a single person's effort into.ĮverQuest's division of group roles is better than any other MMO I have experienced. Not to mention you are disrupting the economy at the same time by artificially inflating the market and changing the value of items. If you're going to horde the spot by yourself you are taking away the social experience and excitement for everyone including yourself. There's something to be said when you are grouping with friends and camping a spot and experience the excitement of that rare item dropping. The rewarding EQ experience is to come across players, group together, and make new friends. You may as well go drive down the highway and throw s*** on the road because that's basically what you're doing. If you hate playing with people that much then why join a group based game and ruin the experience for everyone else?įor every legitimate player, your 5 toons glitchy auto follow is an eyesore. If you want to play by yourself then there are much better games with better graphics for that. If you are boxing then you should go play another game. The main reason why we all loved EverQuest and the reason that it still can bring back people from years ago is from the social interactions that we experienced. It's one of the few games that exist that create a genuinely fun environment to group in and form communities. There is one thing about EverQuest that makes it a great game.
