Yeah so why exactly should this be happening? I don't see any reason except for Sony being the cheap [I cannot control my vocabulary] they are and just not giving a [I cannot control my vocabulary] about their player-base. The game is great, but there's a lot of stuff that people just let go that really wouldn't cost much or take long to take care of. But will the servers ever get upgraded like that? No, why would they? Sony is already making enough money that when Vanguard hit they didn't take a substantial hit to their income, why bother changing anything? But I don't think Contesteds should be toned down at all, any guild/raid force has access to instances. If you don't like the idea of contesteds you better thank god you never played EQ1. So as for anyone that thinks contesteds should be made more readily available to the people that don't work their [Removed for Content] off to get them, is just ignorant in my books. The whole idea of contesteds is competition and a challenge. But on the flip-side, I would like to see more Tier 5 contested-ish mobs. What happened to all the x2 content? That is about the only thing I have a problem with, but at the same time, if they made more x2 contested mobs, it would only make it easier for the better/more hardcore guilds that get the x4s all the time to get them first, but I'd still rather have the option of getting my casual guild together for a x2 then having to get a bunch of hardcore nerds that play Everquest for more than a game just to have a chance at a x4 contested. I do think it's kind of funny some guilds actually call people for contesteds, no in fact really funny. At what point did a game that never ends turn into a [Removed for Content] contest for who is better? hate to break it to you, but just because you have every spell/attack mastered, and all fabled gear, and parse thousands of dps a fight, doesn't excuse you for being a loser, nerd, and an abomination of life just because you think you can belittle someone for not wasting as much of their life on the game as you do. But please don't take this the wrong way, all of you who love to do that be my guest, it just leaves more of the general population that get contact outside of their computer for the rest of us. But hey to each his own right? Those of you that are complete nerds thinking you're the end all be all of your class should strive for maybe a bit more, I don't know...Real world goal?
