One of the main problems i see here is that monsters are continually tuned
harder and the only players who can kill them are those that have already
gathered the best eq sets and who are also VERY experienced at doing eq
already. It is becoming an impossible task to ever hope to kill any of these
monsies yourself, especially for new players because they have absolutely no
chance of catching these old players who continue to play and get better and
better. Im sure in the old days huppu (zach) and other current highbies were
killing these top eq monsies fairly early in the bat career (maybe after only
a few years). Try doing that now, it is impossible, it might take over 7 years
before u can be as good as the current top players and by that time they will
be 10 times as good as you, as so will the top eq monsies.
The solution is difficult to see, these old players who have done it all just
keep coming back for more. Ive done very little as far as eq goes, the reason
i keep coming back is to one day kill burgle or alex or tiamat but i must
realise this will never happen.
