a Perfect World player who does not FCC, does their quests, grinds, not a pack-****, not a rank nab?

You know, someone who actually plays the game? What would you call them? Is there a certain name for those 'old timers' who play the game it was meant to be played before laziness became the biggest plague since energy drinks in the gaming industry?

    That would be almost non - existent. You are not allowed to use Hypers too if you wanna categorize yourself in here. AND you have to be not wanting to do these activities as opposed to being not able to do it. (Like if I offer you JFC and u reject, which i guarantee is not going to happen, or give u hypers that u wont use)

    Unfortunately i can say these ppl wont exist, and furthermore even if they were they will be levelling too slow in this current game...so will thus be named newbie.... >< Credit Card -> Gear up -> pro is trend these days.

    One thing i know is spending time working will get u more in game coins than farming. Thats for sure. lol

    I know a lot of people who stay at the same level for months, yet play everyday b:cute.


    I also know people that do all the quests they can possibly find, do white name divine contracts, and actually love rebirth gamma/delta. I admire those friends for their dedication, but I also give them hyperstones and drag them on as many fccs as I possibly can.

    im one of these players, and i remember back 2+ years ago once you hit lvl 40 it was grind time you had to grind for your lvls then again at lvl 60 and again at 80, these people dont realize that the actual lvl 100's in the game had to do it the hard way because there were no BH,FC,HYPES,Events,nada and yet all these new players at lvl 100 think they have the right to complain pftt they are all weak, on this char ive not done a single fc nor bh i have no quests current or available in my quest log i did the 5 oracles you get in the supply stash and thats it. im still here thats why i lvl so god damn slowly but i don't mind im working for my lvl's.

    You can power level quite effectively as an AoE DD using hypers at level 90+ without stepping foot in FC. So you'd need to take hypers out too.
    I've done 92 thru 99 during this 2x on hypers, by myself and only doing FC once.

    heck ive still got my freebie hyper stones from the supply boxes sitting in my banks, no use for them and i have about 20 or so regular ones they gave ya free when ya bought charms a while back

    have no use for stupid glitching and powerleveling like others think ya need to do

    EDIT/ sorry forgot to add, I have not even grindied in FF for xp, the only time ive gone into FF is to get quests done and to help other people with quests /end EDIT

    To each their own. A person might be seen as a loser if they charge their physical, hard earned money on boosting their ego/epeen size on the internet by getting fancy, shiny and absolutely worthless pixels.

    Or a person might be seen as a loser who works hard for those same fancy, shiny, absolutely worthless pixels the way that the original game Devs intended. Different gamers have different styles of playing.

    I think that is awesome that you do that. I just re-rolled on Sanctuary, which was my first server ever (where I had 2 lvl 100+ toons before bh, hypers, the change in fc) and I am absolutely dumbfounded by the amount of fcc, 5aps +10 wep required for nirvana, lack of quest leveling and exploring the game, lack of skill and complete ignorance and lack of contempt for this game.

    Do not get me wrong, I *did* that hyper fc, rank and pack thing on Archosaur, the most fail of fail servers (beating Raging Tide by a smidgen). I figured I would find Sanctuary as a more 'purist' server...but boy was I wrong.

    I would like to know if there were more 'purists' out there. I am going traditional with this cleric (which I am not even the most pure of 'purist' considering I am going twice the speed due to 2x event). I must say, I am enjoying it. I play in between work and school (not much of a loser now, now am I?) and haven't spend a dime of my own money (free zen offers ftw).

    In the middle of the chaos of nirvana, fcc, glitching, and pack opening that goes on in world chat and faction chat...its nice to know there are a still select few who are doing things old school.

    Thanks for the responses, everyone :-)

    I'd call them "people who want to enjoy and explore the whole game"?

    At least, that's why I'm doing it. I spend an average of $10 a month, do my quests, I've only FCC'd for the quests there, etc.... I've been playing for over two years, and at this point I have a level 82 veno, a level 76 cleric, a level 67 psychic, and a level 59 mystic that I actively play. I collect good gear for my veno, and then it gets passed down every 10 levels to the next highest character, and so on. My veno has done just about all of the non-Earthguard quests up to her level, and my mystic is working on all of the Earthguard quests.

    Personally, I think the ride can be just as enjoyable, if not more, than the destination. b:victory

    I agree, the journey is a lot more entertaining than the destination. I've tried it both ways, and I def. prefer it the 'purist' way. (totally jacking that, btw....might make a faction in the future called 'Purists')

    a year to get to 100? how long have seekers been out? not very freakin long..proves ya dont know the game, I've played my cleric and seeker both at the same time and they are both about 10 to 12% from 101 as i stated before


    with all the new quests and bh's and junk you can get lvl 100 in less than a month, month and a half, if ya play the same toon everyday and do the dailys and quests, bout the only things ya have to buy are charms and GA's when needed

    i started back in dec 2008. Lol not much of a talker but have been an avid forum lurkerb:shutup Anyway the only cash i have ever put into this game was 2 $10 gift cards my girlfriend gave me. I have never powerleveled and dont intend to do so. I find this game pretty enjoyable for being free. i leveled a barb to 99 on lost city and decided to change servers when all my friends left there. This was back in the day when you did crazy stone some aoe grinding and wq every day also as many fbs as i could get. Btw wq always ended up fun at the last stop on the boat
    now i have 7 chars on 2 accts level 49-94 on arch server and i actually enjoy some of the changes in this game. Gold is sky high but things like mold gears and tt gears are much easier to get now. To be honest I like tw but open pvp is not near as fun as before the overgeared and rank players now.
    Anyways to sum it up some of us really enjoy the journey of the game and btw I like the cashoppers cuz they keep the game free for me and its nice getting their leftover gears cheap. If your really not concerned about getting there first or being better geared than everyone else ,have fun and enjoy the game and the friends you make here.

    Oh and when i did crazy stone i used to walk to the jewelcraftsman uphill both ways in 3 foot of snow.b:chuckle

    That answer wasn't funny. I play the game the way it was intended and you sir really hurt me with that answer. I refuse to FC my way to high levels. I refuse to spend my money on packs. (Fashion, maybe but that is it!) I also refuse to play more than an hour each day.

    I just play this game for fun after a long day of stress. I pity you for thinking that players like me are losers. I'm sorry I have a restaurant and resort I own and manage. I'm sorry I am starting my own company soon to help me get chain stores off my restaurant. If only I wasn't preoccupied with these things I can be a winner like you.

    your an idiot. read the OP. those seekers got to 100+ by hyper FCCing and not from the "old method" before hypers existed and it was just pure questing to get lvls.

    Troll much... Talk about shoving your feet in your mouth comparing someones level on an alt on the forums to the time they joined the forums... hmmm is it possible also this person doesnt get to play the game but a few hours a week? How does your feet taste? Amazing how many people make STUPID idiotic statements. First character I started in this game is who I have registered here and I havent used that character since before I registered for the forums... OMG what does that make me? *chuckle... tee hee hee*

    You don't have to. I am already certain that you can make up wonderful stories on the internet. In fact, I believe you may be talented at it. Unfortunately, I am not gifted with that talent. But don't get me wrong, I can understand the fact why sometimes you feel you have to make up stories rather than tell the truth. The truth may hurt at times after all.

    I've yet to use a hyperstone on my main or any of my alts.(ive tons in the bank from events) I done the fc quests way back when. The other times ive been was to help friends/fact mates do theirs. Ive yet to do the fc quests on any of my alts yet (4 over 90 2 of which are 101+).

    I like to play the game. I'm not interested in getting everything in 3 weeks and then joining the 'elites' that complain... "there's nothing to do, QQ i'm bored, this game is fail".

    There is plenty to do provided one actually takes the time to bother doing it. After all, if you have no goals to strive for in game.. then why are you playing?
