Damage Meter, how to get if you want?

You said it best, content had to be dumbed down in WoW for people to finish it. Do I even need to go on?

WoW was just the answer to alot of disgruntled EQ1 players that could never compete in the high end scene. It was an exclusive club, not everyone handle the pressure and stress well. It was work, trust me you need to devote alot of time, pain and sweat. When you had to deal with 72 raid force and if one mistake happened then 3-4 hours of work goes down in the tubes. And then had to restart the progress a day later or a week later with lock out timers.

It was the most fun getting world/server firsts that took months to do. But the achievement alone was the best feeling I ever had in any game. Because no one else could do it.

Also don't get me wrong, I am not bashing the game WoW per say. It's only the WoW players who think that its raiding scene is hard core so they need crutches to help them be the best. The irony in that is what is so funny and frustrating. In order to be the best you need help with 3rd party apps? Does that make any sense what-so-ever?

I wonder if you actually believe EQ was hard compared to WoW top-raids or you're just trolling.

If you don't have data, you have no real indication of anything.

You were the best, you say? Maybe you were **** and everyone else was just more ****. You have zero hard evidence you were getting the most out of your characters.

Without information, who knows? Plenty of bosses on WoW had the exact same mechanics as you describe where one mistake meant game over, and several had 1 week locks out like Algalon.

You're really not making a convincing case for EQ raiding taking more skill than WoW raiding.

Oh I truly believe it. WoW is the dumbed down version of EQ1. If you want to take it as a troll response fine, but that's my opinion and nothing you say would ever change that.

How many world firsts on your server I would guess not a single one. Very few american servers had a few of them.

There are olympic games and paralympic games. Maybe they should make special versions of games for those asking for these meters and paralympic part is covered?

You can obviously tell who the raiders are in this thread

I bet the same people against damage meters in game are the ones who are at the bottom of them and get flak for being a failure.

Now I understand people tend to get out of line and base everything on your dps/damage done but at the end of the day, there will be 3 difficulties. If you're a casual person, go do the easiest one.

You simply cannot progress on Hard Modes when you have no idea what type of numbers you and your guild are putting out. If a boss' numbers > yours = wipe. If your numbers > boss' = victory.

It's just that simple. Also there are people like me who get a kick out of being competitive. Let us be.
