Im sorry folks but im gonna have a bit of a rent to vent a bit of frustration so here goes.
iv been playing daoc since just after release, the first year was GREAT, got great pve groups we all died a lot had a good laugh etc (hit level 50 after realise i didnt like classes etc and rerolling etc etc)
I take my 50 friar to rvr great fun.. annoying that everyones grouped and i like to solo but what the hey with the zergs of 80 odd people all the time i could blend in and get my few rp's everyones happy.
then a long comes SI and the dreaded necro which is what started all this crap imo, dunno when si came out what is it 3 years ago or something? longer? no idea, aaanyway, suddenly the hard core people have a lot more gold than me, ok fair enough, theres not a lot to spend it on let em have it, iv got my sc uber nice gear that i got for like 1p? 2p? for the lot very good
then suddenly somewhere somehow, someone decides ooh i can log on 2 accounts with this necro.. make it servant spec, and voilla i can solo purple stuff nice! everyone yells congratz very good nobody cares.. but then along comes Trials of atlantis, an amazing sounding expansion which we are all looking forward to, my guild of like 20 people at the time are all eagerly awaiting doing our uber new Master levels! how cool, but wait, these Master levels get too hard after master level 1.9 what shal we do! lets log in the necro and "buffbot" it became called.
then all of a sudden people are starting to do their master levels and their new fangled artfiacts on their own! with a buffbot and a necro This cant be allowed surely.. everyone righnows these fools logging in 2 accounts Pah we say it will never be allowed they will be banned once and for all! but no ..the buffbotting is allowed to continue.. suddently all the groups dissapear everyone is doing everything in their own.. but wait? i cant afford/dont want/will not pay for 2 accounts, what am i gonna do?
we all wait for goa to help us out! all us soloers and small guilds what are we going to do mythic we got ML1 and now all is lost.. mythic reply to our horror "sod off buy 2 acc's" WTF! we all say .. we all struggle our way through for a few weeks then most (what felt like most) people decided enough is enough.. and world of warcraft get all the players they didnt get on release..
then along comes new housing WTF 3p or more for my house? how am i gonna get 3p? "buy 2 acc's" says mythic, sod that ill farm for it we say.. i spent a couple of weeks getting every last penny i could.. leaving my template with artifacts out for now i cant afford it im gonna get a house all will be well i can go out and get some stuff to sell on my house all will be well..
then everything starts getting even more expensive suddenly these books that drop from monsters i cant possibly kill are like 10p or more.. OMG i say theres no way i can compete with this! sod it ill go somewhere else..
off to the pvp server i go where its all nice and soloie again lost of random people running around i can kill 2 years ish later im playing on my rr4 champion or my rr8 ranger, that i managed to pvp with, with no artifacts (or the few i could get someone to help me with) all is well, but then people start making big guilds, the few lamers who were around in cots are all together ! now theres more and more, like 5 or 6 big guilds who are unbeatable ! the few who are left soloing give in and get buffbots! but now OMG i cant kill buffbotted people! and yet.. i struggle on on my own, my friands long gone to wow or who have joined the buffbot revolution on excalibur..
so here we are now, just after another expansion (and a VERY solo friendly one i might add) theres nobody left but the very odd soloer, a load of people running around buffboted.. and the big guilds.. iv gone from making almost a whole realm rank each week, to not even killing anyone in a day..
i was just sitting at my log in screen thinking.. why the hell am i still trying.. they obviously dont want soloers on their game.. hell they have people paying for 2 accounts each!
and so.. after an increadably long thread im gonna keep my account till my three months paid runs out.. then im afraid ill be one more soloer who has been left to rot! and left
thanks for reading if you did, goodnight,.
