Until we meet again
`In the end, you too shall pass.
For all of us there comes a day when we must move on with our lives. For some it is because of time constraints, others monetary issues, but for me, I have simply grown bored.
Its no secret that I am a very competative individual. Competition drives me, it makes everything more interesting and more worthwhile in my eyes. For reasons I cannot comprehend, SOE has decided to all but strip any form of fun created by competition from EQ2.
There are 3 contested mobs in all of EoF, if you can call it that. The Pumpkin Headed Horseman is a joke, this expansions Hurricanus. 90% of his loot just isnt up to par, and its not like the encounter takes more than a minute or 2 to kill anyways. The avatars all share one giant spawn timer and with their massive loot table combined with the fact they now have something like a 75% chance to drop their "unique" loot, you have a better chance of being struck by lighting than getting that one item you personally want. Lastly there is contested Mayong Mistmoore, who isnt contested at all, but really just there for the guilds who actually know what they are doing, because he certantly isnt hard. His loot table is very very small and within a month 90% of the guild wont want anything else off of him. No guild on my server can come close to touching us on these mobs, nor will they ever until a new expansion, and that makes Ishbu a dull boy.
Now at some undisclosed time, SOE has announced that they were going to open up limited free character transfers, so immediately the idea of moving off of Nektulos came to mind. I honestly expected to get similar replies from all the top end guilds, but it appears none crave competition as much as myself, to the point not a single one is willing to move to a low population neutral server just to spice the game up some. Furthremore, many members of my own guild, Dissolution, do not feel it is worth our time to move off the server just to create a massive lagfest with one other guild at this point in the expansions lifetime. Everything is boring enough as is and there is no new content on the horizon, so they do not wish to put ourselves through that unless there are going to be multiple guilds present, and as I mentioned, that just isnt happening.
So that leaves me with three options. I can leave Dissolution, but lets face it, thats where I am giong to die, so that really isnt an option. I can continue on like things have been going, but that pretty much bores me to tears. So the only option left is that I can quit.
Obviously I have chosen the latter. I do not feel that SOE has any intetions of creating a more fun enviroment like there was in t5 with the large amount of contested mobs ranging from the very hard to the retardedly easy. Its too bad because I do still enjoy the game when there is something to enjoy, but farming content for the next 6-8 months just isnt in my life plan right now, so it is time I move on.
To my friends - Good luck and keep kicking ass. Never let Dissolution turn into one of those guilds that sucks up to people. Always speak your mind.
To the other high end raiders - Looks like you have a good thing in Archonix for the item person. Hopefully that works out for you in the future.
To all those people that hate me - Thanks for making the last 2 years entertaining. I would have quit long ago if I didnt have your constant posts to keep me interested.
And without further ado, I am out of here. My account dies in 3 days so I will probably be on saying my goodbyes, but for all intensive purpose, I quit. Dont bother looking for me in any future games, I currently have no plans to play anything for a while.
Peace.
