Prophecy of Ro ProgressionFollow

I wish. (Any sony people reading this board - PM me if you want to hire me, I'm even living in san diego this summer!)


a) LoY wasn't the first expansion with nodrop spells
b) LoY DEFINITELY wasn't the first expansion with nodrop items, nodrop items have been extremely prevalent in the upper end of every expansion since velious. do you even play everquest?
c) LoY didn't have any attuneable items


excellent. instead of actually answering the damn question, just start up the ad hominem attacks!

I'm not flaming casual players, I'm flaming stupid players.

MMs are still easy as cake. even in casual groups you won't get many don respawns (and yes, I've been playing as a person with 0 pieces of raid loot, with other people with 0 pieces of raid loot.)

runes are down to 4-5k, except for glowings/greaters, quite whining. (I will admit, people with nodrop mez etc probably have a legitimate gripe.)

Although I have made zero progression thru POR (mainly due to not getting an uber enough group interested) I have enjoyed other aspects of POR. I liked the gear quests that Srakeats mentioned (and yes he's right, they are worth it). I also like the new missions that came with POR such as the Dain ones and some others. Revamped Ro deserts are good, as is the expanded bank. Tradeskill Trophies. There's usually more to an expansion than the basic 'progression' part.

Planes of Power vendor sold spells from the Library were No Drop. This, of course, mattered more before PoP was open to everyone.

I don't think there ARE vendor sold LoY spells. They're all quested.

Only the newest and most uber baz items have increased in price. The rest of the stuff continues to drop. Stuff that was a complete buget buster 2 years ago can be picked up and slapped on an alt. Not sure where the idea of inflation is coming from. Urban legend I think...

I have clashed with Groogle on the casual/hardcore issue before and he doesn't understand the issue of a casual player, simple as that.

But and it's a big massive in your face and you can't ignore it BUT!!!

he is right in everything he has said in this thread, except for Rune prices (running at 8k for rune, 10k for minor and 12k+ for lesser on AB).

That doesn't make everyone else wrong though, it's just a different way of looking at the game.

Everyones primary reasons for complaint when they leave EQ is that it's too easy and everything is handed to you on a plate. Yet everyone still wants it made easier... it it supposed to be hard folks!

This comment made me giggle... What utter tripe! Any casual player can do MPG trials or RSS with a good group and you can get both greater and glowing from there.

I found it much much easier to get my 69 spells compaired to lvl 67, lessers are much rarer drops than greaters and you don't have half as much competition for them.

I had more fun doing Spell missions and some of the Dodh quest series than i had since LDoN was at it's peak and you get great drops from them.

Oh yes, by all means lets re-start the moral debate over selling looting rights...

Doh! Didn't know I was re-starting a moral debate. These toons that were selling the looting rights were also training the mob to various camps in Wos before they killed it. I find that wrong also.

I'm sorry but when I say I can't get them I mean it. I can only be on for max an hour, need to log for an hour or two then come back for an hour again.
I can't get any MPG or RSS groups under those conditions, with the LFG time and the time it takes the group to get ready and get there it's time for me to log before getting started.
Before someone tells me to go play Oblivion or something I would like to say that I never said that I want SOE to build this game around me and my needs, nor did I say that I want to be able to get gear that have +25 on all stats and 400HP and mana. All I said was that I have no intention to buy new expansions since I don't seem to be able to get anything out of them.
Sure, I would like to be able to get my spells some other way, quests, research or bazaar but that seems not likely so therefore I will not be leveling up and progress. It's my problem, all I did was answering the poll question so don't take this as a "I want it all but I don't wanna raid" post.

How come?

Just wonderin'

Oh I voted don't yet have the expansion. Still don't have DoDH on one account. May get the next though??

..and yet some make unnecessary posts just to comment on others posts.


..

And others make unnessesary posts about others unnessesay posts about other posts...

old friend dragged me to her server =p


for all the people talking about how wrong I am, you would think at least one of them would be able to point out how I'm wrong.
