  1. Prior to the patch I believe I was able to deconstruct assembly components and get an augment slot component and a few raw materials of the same level. Now it seems they are just returning a few raw materials. In short, I can't produce any augment slot components. Am I doing something wrong?
  2. That is another dismissive, and quite silly argument...and exactly why WoW ended up killing Everyquest, and why Brad was from the game that he originated. "Stop playing the game" It is not a solution, but just more arrogant dismissing and counter productive to their mission statement. In short, foolish of any company to argue. Do I tell my particular customer base to "go somewhere else" during a sales event, or do I mold my marketing campaign around all potential customers? This entire discussion is a circular logic minefield and totally unnecessary. The solution is to stop letting the NPCs pelt people over an over again, and allow people to turn off the particle effects, or eliminate them altogether. They are not necessary, a simple confirmation not of floating text or in chat will validate. No one sticks around to watch the snowflakes after they pummel someone. Like every other event, they shoot and run to the next target to get through it.
  3. You are making all too much sense here. But seriously. Outstanding post.
  4. Your argument is a hasty generalization fallacy, and you are speaking both sides of the argument, with a sort of arrogance that declares you "the winner" with not a lick of knowledge as to how the programing works. I've worked in the field. If they can program a complicated event, they can program a simple solution. Easiest? Turn off the particle effects. Done and done.
  5. That is exactly what he is arguing. His game play is as important to him as yours is to you. The sort of mentality being displayed here is exactly why WoW killed Everyquest. They appealed to the entire player base, not just those seeking one "style" of play. Your play should not disturb his play is the argument on the board, and it is a valid one. Preventing the annoyance for him, does not affect your gameplay at all, but the other way around does affect his.
  6. Seems that the problem with game boards is that there are people who think this is part of the game and seek to "win" rather than participate in logical discourse...as evidenced by some of the illogical, or ad hominem style replies here. The solution here is not a tough one, and has already been suggested. Remove the particle effects, have the NPCs cease pelting people, take rational discussions such as yours to heart and strive to provide as much enjoyment with as little annoyance to the entire player base as is possible.
  7. Your first paragraph is not an argument but a personal attack. What you are trying to do here is to insult me directly as a means of dismissing the argument on the board. You have invoked a number of sophomoric logical fallacies from, tu quoque fallacy all the way to Ad Hominem. Going to have to drop that hook into someone else's lily pond, chief. Not going there. Your second paragraph is even worse, reductio ad absurdum, or extrapolating to the extreme in order to dismiss another's argument rather than challenge it. Again, get back to me when you are willing to discuss the issue, rationally, as a means of satisfying the desires of all players, not just those who you approve of, or events that you approve of, and without the snitty little insults. The solution here is not rocket science, and the suggestions from other players, who do not desire to be forced to play "your way" is valid and should be considered for the next event.
  8. 1. No one forced me to "log into the game". I'm paying for that. Argument makes no sense, except as to dismiss. Argue the point on the board. 2. So I should avoid an aspect of the game because you "feel" that I should, rather than the developers creating an event that does not annoy other players, who are, btw, paying for a service. That's just another dismissal argument 3. The internet muscles, tough guy talk was yours. I just reproved it. I believe yours was removed also. 4. The "sensitive" argument is yet another dismissal tactic, and an insult, but you have still not addressed the issue on the board...and btw, I'm A US Marine Sgt, with two tours, so the "tough guy" talk is laughable. Get back to me when you are ready to discuss the argument on the board rather than insult, bully, or try to intimidate other posters with your dismissal tactics...and the issue on the board is how to create an event for some players that does not irritate, or infringe upon other players. Pretty simple to understand, even easier to solve.
  9. A rational thought. How did you get in here? The particle effects are exactly the annoying issue.
  10. The reality here is that when given an ability to either disrupt another's game-play, or annoy another, the kiddies will do so, and with gusto. One would think that, after 12 years, the developers would have learned that. In fact, and no offense, I'm not sure which is more annoying, snowflakes dancing around my screen or your suggested solution.
  11. Silly argument. Those other events are what we call, Voluntary. We go there by choice, for the intent to participate. When I am at the GTN trying to concentrate on what I'm doing, I am not voluntarily choosing to participate in this silly event.
  12. It's already dead according to the internet experts. It died right after it launched. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes. It died again with the first expansion. I saw that too. Died a third time when it added FTP, or was that something that saved it? Not sure, it's died so many times. The point is that it's still here, and it's still doing well. When it will end is anyone's guess, but for now, for the next year or so, its here. Enjoy the ride.
  13. Hard mode is not hard. It is what we used to call normal. All one has to do is to pay attention to, and learn the mechanics (which are the essence of a raid). The problem is that most pugs want to just go in and steam-roll for gear; that most pugs will have players that do not know the fights. EV and KP are the most noted raids that pretty much everyone knows, and they are super easy. Nothing wrong with the way puggers want to go about it. For them there is story mode. For raiders there is hard, and nightmare. Everyone has a level of raid that they can participate in. The problem is, as has been stated, that there are no new raids.
  14. Nice. Thanks for the reply. ;p
