The following is the start of Rants and Raves from an EQ Ranger. You are *free* to add to it titling your subject the following is Rants and Raves from an EQ <insert class here>
1. EQ should insert the "Ocarina of Time" looting the chest music every time you pick up a uber item on a raid. As its held high above your head, fellow members of your class will spit and curse all the more. ( dona nona dona nona dona nona DUH DUH DUH!!)
2. Every female character that is on your friends list for six months or more that later tells you their real name is " John or Petey" should be <insert own punishment here>
3. Every character on a Naggy raid that receives a "uber item" because they are replacing their "tattered cloth" something or other should be shot on principle for attending a Naggy raid with a "tattered cloth" something or other in the first place. If thats the way need before greed is going to work, my ranger will wear a potatoe sack next time. ( This actually happened recently. She cried and thanked everyone. ***** you sloth. Get off your lazy *** and do your newbie quests.)
4. Build a staricase up to Kelethin. Their is nothing worse then watching a noob push down the handle as you are 5 feet from reaching the ramp.
5. If your going to beg and beg and beg the zone for a SOW, don't run off like a mime after you get one. Not funny marcel Marceau.
6. ALWAYS grovel and publically /ooc thank the tailor that hands you a "Fleeting Quiver". -----whereas, 20 seconds before that you were meekly and slowly handing over the components. Lesson? It pays to sometimes have faith in strangers.
7. Recruiting officers in guilds are usually the Sergeant Shultz's of Everquest. They are doing the long drawn out legwork of the real life Hardee's manager guild leader. They are normally between 16 to 25 years in age. They have never experienced real power over another human being, and their illusions of grandeur are usually halted every other hour by their real life parents asking them "Are you going to get a job today?" Don't give in to these dummies.
*NOTE*---I said usually here, not everytime. Sometmes their guild leader works for Arby's.
8. Leaders are made not born. There is a reason very few guilds have succesfully raided the Plane of Time. The ability to spot a good leader comes in examples of self-less acts. They are the warriors that knowingly fall to give the rest of the group a 15 second head start to the zoneline. They are the clerics who cast that last "Heal" instead of "Gate". They are the druids who make a macro and use it AFTER the snare lands.
Unfortunatly though for a majority of the guilds, their leaders work the other shifts at Arby's.
---side note--- feel free to add to the fun, it must be funny though. If your going to post a critism you could be doing other things with your time. Like ENSURING there is cheese in the bag with my twisty fries.
