I will speak for myself and respond to you, because I respect the AoS guys outside grisvok(the latter would fit right in with the likes of the guy above you), it is funny watching these guys come out the woodwork on their puppet/propaganda accounts.
Me personally, I can deal with mobilization and dps race, losing them is w/e, it happens to everyone and will keep happening(lost plenty to aos on selo). The current meta of basically either camping out in zone(and sitting at enter world screen) , binding right in zone or socking/grinding in zone is asinine to me. It's not fun, and as a person that plays 1 melee character, basically locks me in place. It's quasi socking or hiding in picks socking. It's not fun at all but required, because there is almost no time for travel in these races. You can pot to close(gate or fob) or OT hammer, but in the time it takes to zone how ever many times, its too late. The only recent fun one I can remember was everyone was sitting in VS room, trak spawns and was hilarious to watch 200+ people make a mad dash from fob>EJ>TT>seb, win or lose, those are fun. Socks/quasi socks are never fun, even if you win them.
Also it's basically 4 kills a day, because the respawn time on kunark dragons/vs is so short. It reminds me too much of selo during velious with the 1/2 LO event on top of selo's 1/2 LO. And it's just exhausting. And there is 9 weeks left of it. Couple that with life, work, and such, there's no reason for me to try to show up for every single thing and burnout from trying to keep a character ready to go 24/7 every day. Launch was grueling enough but can do that for a couple weeks and wind down, usually expansion launches. The downside too, its kunark loot(And a ton of it), as a bard I am basically done outside helm, belt and a rarely used OH weapon. Tower just pours gas on the issue and there will be 3 more slots during this kunark play.

All fair, and I’ve been out for a bit so really no clue what it looks like atm other than glancing at parses in discord. The gear sure I get it, gonna be a lot of rot shit other than like crowns and robes fast but for me at least it’s way more about the thrill of the competition than the pixel reward.
And given the amount of shit talk and “we don’t have any competition here” stuff pre server and week one I assumed faceless would have more self respect than to just give up.

Also had no idea about hiding in picks that sounds lame as hell. Same with poopsocking in general but at the same time I can very much understand positioning yourself to be able to mobilize fast, and think that’s always been a part of the competitive eq landscape (at least as long for tlps, maybe not back in the day when #2 guild just couldn’t kill a lot of targets)

I will do a mix, just not super hardcore anymore. i.e. wake up in the middle of the night to kill a mob or camp/sock every single target. But if I am working and no urge to do something else, ill camp out at a raid target or rush to one. Did the hardcore for every TLP so far, but more I am more relaxed on this one(outside launch weeks). Hopefully that more relaxing play-style can lead to beyond GoD. I was able to make it to OoW on selo, before I took a break in the 70 derth and came back in I think TBS. The monthly unlock really helped that one though, because 4 weeks really was basically the max before you started to get bored of the current expansion, especially with the 1/2 LO.
At least some of the expansions are tied together now and non level cap ones are just 8 weeks. 12 weeks of every single one is just too much.
Still going to be a year before this one gets to what I consider the fun stuff. Usually just in time for another TLP launch that saps all the players that play for kr or for some godly reason love classic > pop, to switch. Might hit this one a bit harder, since that will be the 70 gap that seems to really sap players from servers, depends what type it is I guess, free trade/bonus loot is hard to pass up. This one at least will just have 28 weeks of level 70, instead of say 48 weeks.

Your guild called a poopsock first, your guild did the camp in zone sock variant first, and yes, did the be in a pick first. Why do you come with fake zaide statements he didnt make and fake accusations? RI literally did these things first. And so the fuck what that they did? Just own up to it.

The graphic for this casual server has a Paladin soloing a dragon, but here on FoH people worried about poopsocking same server.

To be fair, the sub adjusted for inflation would be 28 bucks a month by now. Or, if you want to save a few bucks off the 15, come back in a few weeks and go to ECTunnel website and buy yourself a krono for a few bucks cheaper. But if you're saying it should be f2p - that shit can fuck right off. Its bad enough thats its monetized as much as it is already. Im under no illusion that it would be cheaper in this day and age.
imagine $ 15 being what stops you from playing a game. You either want to play it or you don't. Are you that broke?

I don't know why this always comes up on this board. Happened a lot with Diablo IV and Starfield where I said I'm not paying $80 to play that piece of shit. "wHy ArE yOu So BrOkE?!"
I'm not broke because I don't spend my money on stupid shit like a subscription to a 25 year old game.
The reality is I know that I'd probably play for an hour or two, realize I actually hate Everquest now, and be like, "why the fuck did I sub to this?"

You're the one craving to play the game. You're just bitching that you have to pay $ 15 for the nostalgia hit. That's on your broke ass. $ 80 for a brand new game that you have no idea if you like or not is completely different than $ 15 for a game you obviously want to play or you wouldn't be here talking about it.
Just saying... if you think you will have fun... $ 15 should not matter lol.

Ahh you joined faceless?
Show me where anything I said is fake? I think your showing and guild meeting last night has said all that needs to be said.
Also please tell me when we hide in picks? We don’t have any need to hide. We are gonna be there shortly after a mob spawns no matter what.
Also let’s be clear. Telling people that X mob is next in window and if you aren’t doing anything to camp out in zone, isn’t poopsocking. That’s just being prepared. So you can fuck around on alts or the real world. Not sure if this is a unique idea or something. Might be leaking super secret strats I guess.
