I think many fail because it's the first encounter in the game that causes a paradigm shift in tactics. Once you learn that encounter and apply it to future encounters (as they all are pretty much the same...avoid red, kill adds) it makes the following ones seem easy by comparison.
So you think that multiple friends all had their accounts randomly targeted and their passwords cracked by brute force attacks...at the same time? Doubtful. People don't want to take responsibility for their own security failures, and instead feel a company is responsible for a user's lack of....in most cases...common…
When multiple "friends" all have it happen at the same time, from my experience, it's because they were all sharing account logins and either one of the "friends" went to a website they shouldn't have...or one of the "friends" decided it was time to rob the other "friends".
The community is the worst part of any MMO, and the forums draw the worst of the worst. Forums are filled with people rehashing the same complaints and feel they must create a new thread to do so...instead of responding in the multitude of other threads on the same subject. The worst of the bunch are immature posters…
I deleted an empty email from the Auction House, and the system went ahead and not only deleted that email but the one underneath it which had an item attached to it still. Flaky email system, I make sure to get all items before deleting any email now. I did put in a bug ticket about my issue, so maybe they will address it.
EQ had plenty of these issues. People sitting in the same camp(especially in Sebillis) day after day claiming they should get that lamentation sword because they were the only warrior/melee in the group, then later you see them selling it in the EC tunnel. You group with friends or guild mates, else you'll always run into…
People like me? Perhaps you should go back and read what I put below where you conveniently snipped my quote to make a point. When people stop feeling entitled in a PUG, then this problem will stop. Random folks in a PUG are under no obligation to gear up your character...their time is indeed worth something.
I only mentioned I played since UO, because someone assumed I was new to MMOs, thus having bearing on the topic. It's not about decency, it's about a sense of entitlement in a PUG. You believe your time is worth more than someone else's time because an item for your class dropped. You are indeed trying to force a play…
Yeah I'm pretty new to MMOs, only playing them since Ultima Online. Though as I stated, and you obviously chose to ignore, I only roll need on items I can use, unless everyone is rolling need, then I do as well. The greed button is good when grouped with friends and guild mates. Oddly enough, the cleric in my story above…
There is no need for a hotfix, because the current system isn't broken. Your play style isn't everyone else's play style, something many people need to understand. Anyone that spends 30-60 minutes clearing a dungeon has the loot rights to any piece that drops. Even if they can't equip it, they can use it to finance other…
You're using a product your don't own, nor have spent any money to even lease/use....but you think you have rights? Again, the level of entitlement is just amazing. Sadly this thought process doesn't stop at gamers, but is an unfortunate epidemic of entitlement that is spreading across the globe like a virus in all aspects…
Greed = Thinking you're entitled to an item just because you're the only one in the party that can use it. The need/greed system only works with friends, and perhaps guild mates. Other than that, chances are other people helped get the item that just dropped. Why shouldn't they roll and use it on an alt?...or roll and then…
