	I know the weapons are good. But I just can't hack the run here, fight a bit, run here, fight a bit, with a side order of idiotic escort. And jump to hit the giant norks. I just don't care enough to stomach the raid. I think I've run it 5 times total across any toon because it is such a snoresfest for me. And this is their problem with the loot boosts. The acceptable players don't need them, so what, precisely, are we grinding for? I speak as someone who doesn't do EE atm, but I've duoed those with significantly less in the way of stat gear. If they are going to monty haul this badly, what exactly are we going for?

	Never understand why they don't switch in new crafting ingredients to old raid tables to encourage running old raids. i.e. heroic comms the new thing? add a % chance for them to drop in elite vod or something.

I always put up an LFM, even if the zerg/byoh stuff keeps most folks away from my LFMs, there's always several LFMs in my level range, and ppl doing "endgame". I really wish turbine would give us a reason to run the old raids, I really miss the goold old days where we could actually use the term raid train. we run alot of lowbee past few weeks, meyb u was not lucky cos we filled pretty fast, even had to shortman did not want puggers evryquest;p but i agree thelanis is down to last few months, probly many taking break and some play shitty nwo, but alredy see people coming back to game and getting ready for expasnion, half end game is in lowbyland

Maybe everyone is hoping it wont happen. The ML0 rings fix was always on the cards given it was clearly broken (although they took a LONG time to get around to fixing it - once we had all bought the pack and run it in to the ground). Its all the level BTA 5-ish/7-ish gear from Sharn Syndicate and Phiarlan Carnival (and probably a few others) which are ML0 that we went and stuck Festival Icy Burst on which will be annoying. Once again we see FoS fixing stuff to our detriment, while providing new stuff which is rubbish. I cant wait to see his next podcast....

	cdr wrote on Jul 29^th, 2013 at 11:41am: GH helms etc are not "random". There is a fixed, designed, set of attributes. The U19 gear by all appearances is actually random. Every piece of gear gets an attribute straight out of the random loot table. From the huge amounts posted on the auction house last week, it looks like many of the U19 things have a set list of 8 or so abilities as well.

	Kimberlite wrote on Jul 28^th, 2013 at 4:48pm: Mind telling me how long items like the Torc, greensteel, Madstone boots, and many other items were viable? Voice of the Master? Is DDO a better game by replacing these with FoS'd� shit gear with random effects? In the 14 month span that includes Eveningstar, GH, and Shadowfail, we got two pointless commoner level cap increases, and three gear grinds. Compare that to three years of relative stability from 2009-2012. I don't know how you can use the work "stability" to describe anything to do with DDO. Might as well break out "vast and mysterious".

It would be total wasteland without Citw+FoT. There are maybe 50 -100 capped toons on anytime ( Ghallanda ), less than ever. Quote: I have 5 to go on DQ on my ranger, and I should really do it, but it's like a desert out there... DQ has always been like that, gotta start things moving yourself. Run there, paste puzzle in chat and hope for the best. Prepare yourself, last person to join will almost always forget to talk to Djinni twice. I personally run it with a friend almost every 3 days for Spell Storing shard ( laugh all you want ) Because EE DQ is almost non existent, done once since Motu.

Oh, I can do it, led a couple of hundred I should think beween the toons. It would just be nice not to have to lead anything I want to get done now and agan. Generally if I have time to play it is extremely off peak or I am not in a leading headspace.

	Mounty Haul is indeed in full fucking effect... ...and has been for quite a while. Introduce new epic gear that makes no fucking sense from a power creep point of view. Drop ML of mid level gear and raise levels of low level gear? Add a bunch of new effects to try and trump older gear designs and cannith crafting since your imagination cannot come up with gear designs that work and balance without stepping on the toes of much better designers that came before you? Whoever is in charge of loot/gear power creep is a complete and utter twatt. The ML0 madness rings were just ok. At level 1 you have 25% run speed via clicky. 30 extra hp are fun but not "needed" in any way shape or form at level 1. The BTA ML0 items getting changed is fucking idiocy by and large since it makes absolutely no goddamned difference what so ever and the resources could have been much better utilized. The fact that BTA items can be cannith crafted and shared makes them much more usefull than being able to equip at level 1.

If that's true, that's better than I had assumed and I have less of a problem with it. I haven't been on Lama lately because they keep opening it during XP weekends on such.

	Dark_Helmet wrote on Jul 30^th, 2013 at 1:23am: I don't know how you can use the work "stability" to describe anything to do with DDO. Perhaps if you understood the meaning of the adjective that was the preceding word in my sentence, and if you were able to both comprehend the written word, and quote it in its proper context, you would not have such a struggle. The phrase "relative stability" is an accurate description of the F2P period until MoTU, especially when compared to the number of changes since June 2012.

	Memnir wrote on Jun 14^th, 2013 at 10:59am: Note to any Turbine staffers reading this, and one I genuinely hope you share around the office: DDO has become a shit game because y'all have made it a shit game. Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

EH preraid + raid takes ~ 30 mins duo so doesn't matter either way And you can't have enough of those stupid crossbows. Guess sacking adq end chest would be more effective but quite boring, besides it's more like "old times sakes " thing.

	Quote: ftfy Yeah there's always that... Till they change the ML... I don't/won't run Abbott. It's been 3 years since I had any interest in it beyond running litany for XP. Even with groups of good players I couldn't get past the 3 or 4 run/fail/restarts and a wasted evening due to Ice Island wands failing and being on CD or not working at all due to server/instance lag (whole party lagging) or people not being Johny-On-The-Spot with breaking people out of encasement (usually the people with the fail Ice Wands). An occassional restart due to puzzles (asteroids usually) I could take but then they buffed the Black Abbott to account for early epic gear power creep and I lost complete interest.

	Thankfully though by NOT running Abbott I've not had to deal with broken loot lists AND broken 20th lists.....

Long, tedious, dungeon crawl with what feels like more cinematics than FF7, only to get nothing in 6 chests at the end. Fuck it. There are more fun uses of 2 hours of my time (between waiting to fill, shr plz, who's baby sitting, and then running the damned thing... oh wait, I wanna swap chars for the completion...) Fuck it. This is Turbine. I'll wait another 3 months for the shit to become obsolete.
