I think going on a tangential debate for 2 pages about the nature of skill in video games in a thread started to discuss pacifism roleplaying on Nasomi is a form of skill.

Tactical strategy is an oxymoron.

Steena, I really don't understand you what so ever. You played on this server for a few months, played corsair only and killed a couple nidhoggs and decided you beat the game. All of that is perfectly fine. But to come shit on this game constantly calling it easy when you never tanked anything or even played a support job that required you doing more than 2 rolls that last 6 minutes is kind of ridiculous. I understand your criticisms of nasomis management of the server and what things he chooses to work on. Everyone has their issues with that and were all often baffled by the choices made. But you have an extra level hatred in your tone and to insult everyone who does enjoy the game and server despite the issues just seems unnecessary. I guess it's fun to just come shit on people because you feel better than the whole thing? I'd respect the opinion more if I saw you play a job that had the least built of responsibility involved but all you did was come get carried through a few hnm kills and quit. You didn't do sea, you didn't low man hold any wyrms. You didn't solo any mini ground kings. You didn't attempt anything challenging at all.

Hey buddy, you just used the word "skill" three times to describe a game in your defense that said game requires no skill. For someone who enjoys arguing on the internet so much, you'd think you'd be better at it, pal.

P.S. Pre-utsusemi icon change where you had to count shadows in your head while prepping millisecond windows of Ichi canceling for 2+hours at a time was harder mechanically than anything UO's shitty UI and gameplay could ever compare to.

I was going to also point out that maybe people would find something not very challenging if they just never attempted any of the challenging parts of the game, but I honestly don't remember Steena from when he was playing.. Just now that he, for some reason, trolls a forum for a game that he doesn't play and doesn't particularly think is all that challenging.

Just because you saw me at faffy on cor doesnt mean thats all I did, but ok.

And you derail conversations when you can't think of a reasonable point to make. We all have our flaws I guess. OP is long gone by now anyways. I honestly just came to give my 2 cents since everyone was shitting on him but whatever.

I also used to see you hang in town on your shitty warrior.
Well have you tanked anything significant?
Have you solod simurgh, roc, ka?
Have you solo'd sky triggers?
Have you taken a craft even past 60?
Have you solod Suzy?
Have you held tiamat or jorm in a low man situation?
Have you even killed tiamat or jorm? Vrtra?
Do you even know how to work a resistance set?
You tank khim while your brds struggle to land elegy?
Did you do the Maat fight as a 66 brd or rng?
Did you ever come up with an idea or a new strategy for anything?
Did you tank AV and hold it down steadily while damaging it for 2 hours?
Can you name even one impressive thing you've done on this game?

(3) time and logistics.

Every worthwhile achievement here is the result of a combination of the above three factors.
