wow. I think your problem, greed, is you can't handle any kind of challenge to your comments. I read the whole thread and all I saw was Zorn responding quite intelligently to your comments. I didn't see him bellittle you or insult you but you insulted him in every post where you responded to him. If you can't handle a counter repsonse to your own threads, don't make them.
Really, I insulted him? Mind pointing those out? Zorn takes everything as an insult, maybe you're the same way.
Why don't you just go back and look at the your responses to his posts. If you don't think they're insulting him in any way, you're probably not a pleasant person to be around in RL.
This is a forum... Insults are the bases of this style of communcation dont take anything to heart and move the F on.... He is probly perfectly pleasent in RL....
Maybe you're right. I'm just being too sensitive. I tend to jump to people's defense when it was really none of my business. Maybe you two have a history. I don't know.
As to the topic, I agree that mmorpgs are getting easier. I'm just not sure how much of that is that I've just been playing for 10 years and have done it all for the most part. It seems to me a lot of the "dumbing down" of the genre is more of removing the time sink aspect and all the sitting around waiting for things to happen as opposed to actually doing things. In EQ I was waiting to med, for a mob to spawn, for a group to move on, for the mob train to disperse, etc. Always waiting. Games today are more streamlined and action oriented and, for the most part, IMO, better.
Although, making newbie spawns non agro does seem to take it a bit far.

I guess I'm not a pleasant person IRL.
