You're telling me play time doesn't impact leveling advancement MORE than XP Pots? You are completely fucking stupid.
And a liar.

Why does that matter? Math decides this debate. If I play twice as much as you, your little 10% XP Pot isn't going to do jack shit to help you keep up with me.

Ok. This conversation just isn’t going anywhere. Clearly you aren’t interested. So move on?

When it comes to expansion launch races It's like Guild size>Guild Organization>Skill>XP pots>Class>Gear>>>>>>>>>>play time.
On Phinny we had a Bard that would show up for 10% of our raids, only played the first week or 2 of expansion but was always our first or second Bard picked for expansion launch races because Skill as a puller.
I've done multiple server firsts in expansion when i was playing less than 10 hours a week. Play time really isn't that big of a deal.

Being carried by people who DO play every day is the most CUCK argument against XP Pots....

Sure if "Getting carried" = constantly topping the DPS charts for your class or being the Raid/guild Leaders preferred Main Tank than sure...
You don't have to play ever day to get full BiS/Max AA on a TLP. You have to show up to like 6 hours of raiding a week and be available to show up to the 12 hours the OoW ect launch race takes.
If your guild doesn't buy enough of the XP pots you will lose, period.

You earn about 60ish leveling to 50. (This means that the current meta will be to level 1 additional class at a time after your first loadout, because getting AAs as you level is a lot more time efficient than at 50.)
I'd say there is probably 100-150 AAs to spend on stuff that gives you real combat power, not fake and gay shit like double riposte.

It's 2026 and anyone who thinks that a nearly-three-decade-old video game still represents some sort of challenge/competition and they have to "be first" and they need to win, needs serious therapy. The way some of you talk about playing EQ like it's some sort of grand accomplishment is beyond ridiculous. Are your real lives that empty?
It's a video game, you pathetic fucking losers. Play it, or don't. Enjoy it, or don't. No one fucking cares.

From what I have heard so far this is meant to be a solo server. Your personal enjoyment is the only thing that matters. There's no competition other than what you and whoever you want to compete with make up. If tradeskills and baz are useful, great. They probably aren't going to be required, but the social component for solo/casual friendly servers is mostly just chat.
What is the actual game advantage in a game where everyone is going to be able to get to cap and grind out their AAs in short order? Getting to the end game faster just means you reach the end sooner. A little extra gold from baz as everyone else reaches where you are in a few hours/days doesn't really move the needle.
There might be some soul eroding farms like the dodge/block/shielding augs off Kerafyrm on THJ. Getting to that a day or two sooner isn't going to make a lick of difference.
XP pots in eq are just a convenience. Personally, I put that in the QOL corner, and not the power corner. If they are totally unbalanced and somehow allow people to interfere with my private instances, that would be a different story.
However it turns out, I hope we all get to play soon.

ITT retards that don't understand second order effects call people that do losers.
Every game that designs around high end racing and neckbeard competition ends up being a completely shit game. The best solution for devs is to ignore all that and not care if someone clears your hard raid zone in 2 minutes after expansion release if players are having fun.
The idea that you should cater and design your game around a toxic unemployed 2-5% of your player base is completely retarded. In no other industry would anyone do that. Cater to the whales, cater to the masses of casuals atleast that shit somewhat makes sense.

Skill... Everquest
...
Bro it's fucking Everquest, time invested is literally the skill required.
No one playing Everquest is going online looking up class guides like they do for WoW or FF14.
Even classes like enc just requires common sense not fucking skill.
Holy fuck, imagine being proud of getting a server first kill on a game thats 26 years old and the main skill is not fucking falling asleep.
Guys we had a really skilled bard like so skilled like someone was using a vision skill and letting him assist them to target things so he could pacify since Bard lull can go through walls so fucking skilled bro!
These are the same faggots that will shit on WoW players for using an addon to warn them that the boss is about to use it's 5th ability that's different in phase 3 than it was in phase 1.
