Excellent post. A few points. I wasn't claiming that there is a decline in doctors, only that the rate of those coming in isn't keeping up with demand. Which has been an ongoing issue for some time. It is less attractive being a doctor in today's environment for all the reasons stated. As for...

Medicaid paying less for treatment is probably the most significant issue. I agree with you there. But I don't see how there is a fix possible given the current political climate. Obama is not willing to pay doctors for the work they do, and Republicans are not willing to help Obama. There is...

The fact that you have very good insurance that pays your doctor well doesn't answer the problem that the country is having as a whole, and especially Medicaid patients. Why would you think that your situation is normal for everyone? Especially poor people using Medicaid. Did you not read the...

The problem is that there are not enough doctors to treat everyone needed. And there are not enough coming up the ranks to solve the issue. Blaming one side or the other for a systemic problem is nonproductive. So what is your solution? Are you going to force doctors at gunpoint to do your...

Tell that to the person who can't get treatment. Your excuse that it "isn't that bad" is exactly the one the Republicans used to defend the old system before ObamaCare. If you can't make things better then stop making them worse. I am amazed at your ability to sound like the people you hate...

Yes, his statement was overblown. But yours also tended to overlook the problem. The amount of doctors entering the system willing to take medicare patients isn't enough to keep up with demand, that was always a serious issue. With the new rules it is exponentially worse. Is it fixable...

Medicaid Growth Could Aggravate Doctor Shortage - NYTimes.com

Eve does have it's moments. And if you like the meta-game, Eve's could be the best around. It's just lacking in the twitch department.

I'll give it a go when it comes out. The Lineage franchise is pretty good imo and I still play them occasionally. More interesting than the usual Korean grinders.

Yes, and I still have hopes for this game. What concerns me beyond the whole hopium dealer angle that Chris has taken is that the only controls on spending are on the company itself and Chris Roberts in particular. The modern studio system where the overloards are EA, Activision etc sucks for...

Prisons have a community also, that doesn't mean everyone wants to be a part of them.

My brother just informed us a few days ago that he is coming home from Afghanistan, and he might be back in time for Christmas. And this time for good. He's been away for so many years it's going to be wonderful to have him back, safe and sound. We might even have everyone together again for the...

I'm glad she asked the question and that people answered. I was wondering about those things too. Saved me the time of reading all the bs inbetween the info that goes on in these threads.

Yes, Eve's buying and selling model is great. And it caters to people who liked EC and people like me who hated it. Eve's combat is what usually puts me to sleep, or as Utnayan put it "boring as fuck". The rest of the game rules.

It was much more time than that for those of us doing bleeding edge content. You forget that we also had to get back to the spot we logged off at to start the next day's raid. Many times that involved some very dangerous runs. For tanks it wasn't worth it. And then there was the amount of...

Yeah, I never cared for the EC tunnel. Me thinks you are rose tinting the experience. Mostly it was a chore, for buying and selling. And later in the game just getting to it was a total waste of time. The "community" was just a bunch of people spamming the same thing over and over. I'm sure the...

Most mmos make money, even the crappy ones. Especially now with the new F2P changes. F2P has extended the life of many mmos that should have died long ago. I think that is the reason MMOs haven't evolved much. Devs don't feel the need to innovate when the same old tired fetch it quest model...

I really have no idea. I figure they will at least sell 500,000 "boxes" the first month or so but just because of the IP's name recognition value in the general populace. Just an interested bystander. Played Oblivion a little bit, didn't play the others. Know about the IP because Skyrim was...

Do you honestly think that I haven't played other games? You missed the point. MMOs are stale because they haven't changed. Not because I haven't tried other games a bazzlion times. Don't worry, you'll get to the same place eventually that many of us are standing at. MMOs are stale because...

It's not about how quickly you gear up, it's about the basic mechnics of MMOs in general. I'm tired of them. Been there, done that too many fucking times. After you've played a ton of MMOs, it all becomes the same. The genre needs to change for many of us to enjoy it again. I was watching the...

This isn't a statement against WoW, but against MMOs in general that have similar mechanics to that which you just described (all of them)...... FUCK THAT. Your whole paragraph almost made me give up mmo's forever.

Well even Obama's own experts concluded years ago that millions of Americans will have substantial increases in out of pocket expenses. ObamaCare is a wealth redistribution racket. That was by design. The lies Obama and the Democrats told were just to get the bill passed. And they did it...

You could be right. Like I said it is an interesting test. A ton of people, gamers included, don't read gaming forums. They just see the pretty lights and the handsome actors and go oooooh, I want one. Star Wars I made bazillions and it sucked. The IP carried it though. Even Jar Jar couldn't...

A lot of people here forget that FoH/Rerolled is a niche site. What we think of games doesn't necessarily filter out to the public. I wouldn't be suprised if TESO gets it's initial investment back, plus profit, in just the box sales alone. No matter how bad TESO may be as a game. And frankly...

True, but for the majority of players in older games like EQ and WoW they never reached max level and didn't care about the endgame. That is what has changed. A higher percentage of players rush to the endgame now. And modern MMOs encourage that. Even WoW has changed it's leveling experience and...

No, my point hasn't changed. If you misunderstood it then I probably didn't express myself well enough. I have always stated that I will judge the game for myself before deciding if it is a failure or not. Most people tend to follow the herd and their opinions become extreme. While they are not...

You could be right. But one of their main selling points is the 3 faction pvp system. And obviously some of the devs worked on Daoc. For many of us jonesing for a good multifaction pvp system, we are hoping someone, anyone, will bring it back in a way we can enjoy. We have so few options and yes...

GW2 was pretty universally praised as the second coming of christ around here. And it was fun for a while. But very few play it now. The same is true of STWOR, although it was despised afterwards in a way that GW2 never was. And for good reason. TESO is probably very much as people describe...

The main problem with leveling in todays mmo market is that many players just rush through it as fast as possible to get to the endgame. It's not the players fault for doing this, it's just the way things are. For most players nowdays leveling is just a boring inconvenience in the way of the...

Do they have any of the 3 way PvP systems in place for the beta? If that breaks the NDA then forget I asked. If those work that would go a long way to forgiving the other areas of the game so many here dislike.

Ouch, not a promising start.

Look, stop with your stupidity and go reread some of our discussions before spouting off on things you have no knowledge of. You jumped the gun and now you are trying to back pedal. Anyways, I don't want to have a back and forth here. That's for the general forums like politics. I don't want...

LOL, I claim the FoH/Rerolled IP.... kickstarter to be up shortly. Send money.

WTF are you talking about? That has never happened. You can ask him yourself idiot. We have a healthy level of respect for each other. He knows what I'm talking about. Apparently you don't. F'ing moron. Stop trying to troll the thread with shit you don't know anything about.

I know full well the history of Utnayen, I was a member on FoH before Vanguard, and a lurker from Furor's days, just didn't post until a year or so before we came over here. And yes he has gone full bore psycho on this game. He has almost 500 posts in this thread (probably more by now). And...

It isn't a part of modern MMOs but yes they shoud be. It does open the game up to griefing but I personally enjoy that. And it is easy enough to counter with a million hitpoints, ac and a godly reposte. It's a minor feature though. First the game has to be fun to play before I care about...

Not defending TESO, I haven't played it yet. But hyperbole like yours is standard for this board for almost every mmo. And yet, not every mmo is the worst mmo of all time. The wholesale herd mentallity is pretty strong with most of the people here so you tend to go overboard on one side or...

I assume they made improvements over that time. So your impressions from back then do not count as much as those of the people playing now. Unfortunately, most people playing now still have a negative impression of the game. That isn't enough to sway me from not trying it (for reasons I...

It's probably true. If it wasn't then any lawyer could sue your company for much more than the piddling amount that they are "saving" because of ObamaCare's mandates. Business learned a long time ago not to fuck with regulations that could cost them millions in lawsuits. Still, it's worth double...

I thought there was a first person option. Is that not true? Or does it suck?
