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.
Would add one caveat, let your unemployed neckbeards stand around in the tunnel flossing their sick gear so us casual scum can be envious. Everyone wins

Edit: worth noting I'm making a general statement about MMOs, I don't care about your fiery avenger in 2026

So even the p99 and dads agree that xp pots are pay to win, just that pay to win doesn't matter that much on this server so it's ok.

I'm also glad the retirees are out to talk about what is and isn't hard in video games.

Every mmo that hasn't doesn't exist anymore.

Skill... Everquest

Bro it's fucking Everquest, time invested is literally the skill required.

Look i get it man, you don't need to be Faker to be good at EQ it's an easy game that's been around for a long time, but if you don't see the difference between a good and bad player. You're the bad player.

Yeah the people running MQ2 to have their characters be literal bots are bad players. Everquest is a game where being awake makes you a competent player.

It's the only game that comes to mind that people will put more effort into not playing than playing.

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.
I think you don't understand a lot. Playing a game is fun. Winning a game? Much more.

I'm okay with a low skill game. I didn't quit mythic raiding because I couldn't do it, I quit because it made me actively hate human beings who were otherwise cool, nice people, but were too retarded to priority target swap while dodging swirlies while crossing the entire boss arena while throttling add kill rate while maintaining an interrupt rotation on the boss while making sure we didn't push him into transition outside of a specific 6 second window because then there would still be tentacles up or god forbid another set would spawn and you'd lose half your bloodlust burn phase.
