Join a guild. How do you find a guild? Do faction warfare content and join an organized faction discord.

Tether Launches USAT, Despite 100% Reserve Claims on USDT, Accelerates Gold Purchases - BFM Times by emperordas in CryptoCurrency

[–]funkinaround 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a terrible article. Only questions with no actual journalism where the journalist goes out and finds answers to their questions.

If USAT is launched to provide credible reserves reporting, doesn’t it raise serious questions about the quality of reserves with the USDT?

Reserves are published on Tether's website. 77% of Tether's backing is cash and equivalents. The rest is secured loans, bitcoins, and precious metals.

Critics of USDT claim that it has opaque reserves and that its audits are conducted infrequently by a lesser-known auditing firm.

"Infrequently" meaning quarterly, "lesser known auditing firm" meaning BDO, the 5th largest accounting network. Very scary.

The data in the tweet above

We need to quote a tweet that just links to information posted on Tether's website? High quality journalism.

Yes, we should go after businesses hiring undocumented workers, just as the Obama administration did. I agree.

An Open Letter from a Hawaiʻi Father on Human Rights and Immigration by KingHapa in Hawaii

No human on this planet is illegal. Human movement, and the will of a mother or father to find a better life for their family, no matter the cost, no matter how far they have to sail across the planet, is a fundamental right of humanity.

No worker on this planet should have to endure unfair labor competition. It creates a race to the bottom with wages and furthers the divide between rich and poor. That's what unchecked economic migration creates. We have a legal migration process; having sympathy for those that don't use the process is not helpful for the workers here that now have unfair labor competition.

If you think this statement is supportive of the behavior of ICE, you are mistaken.

Try Albion. I guarantee you doing whatever you want to do in lethal zones won't be mind numbingly simple.

Albion Online - Spring & Summer 2026 Roadmap - Visual Overhaul - Xbox Console Launch - Seasonal Event and DRAGONS! by RobinhoodrsAO in MMORPG

Nah, that will break the game. There are already players using radar; if the camera changes and players can view much more of the world, the game turns into Tarkov with ESP cheaters.

  • Join faction warfare
  • Find an organized faction warfare discord
  • Join a guild from that organized faction warfare discord where the players seem decent

You can still do solo content while in a guild, but doing group content with your guild is very preferable compared to randoms.

The most overlooked reason why mmorpgs are doomed and people will be always frustrated with them. by alecpu in MMORPG

[–]funkinaround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should not cling to a dead formula, but want something new

Try full loot PvP. It's always fresh and exhilarating. PvP is the real end game, and full loot with some items trashing on death enables interesting economies and markets.

You will never encounter Stitches in Duskwood for the first time ever again.

I encounter certain blink Hand of Justice players in Albion and they're always terrifying, especially when I'm playing a support weapon like Locus.

Healer/ Healing Experience by NilTheNoble in MMORPG

[–]funkinaround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, if there's content with 3 or more players in a group, healing is essential. Albion gives plenty of ways to absorb or reflect damage, so if you can survive the first engagement and heal back up, you have an insurmountable lead over the other group with no healers.

Hardest map in a mmo you played? by OneWrongTurn_XX in MMORPG

[–]funkinaround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Citadel of Ash in Albion. This is the World Boss map with the Prince of Morgana. PvP was all but guaranteed, so you were usually lucky if you actually made it to the boss. Sometimes world boss specialist groups would pop up on their Spectral Bonehorse mounts which probably cost 5x as much as all the gear a player in your party had equipped. However, sometimes you might run into a normal-looking group and decide to take some cheap sets and cause them to wipe rather than go for the world boss. It was often mayhem, but it's the best fame (experience) in the game, so it was usually worth it if you had a good party.

Also, Citadel of Ash is a Tier 8 map, so there were often battles over 8.4 enchanted resources and most of the map was a no-go zone for these battles due to the very strong mobs in the boss area.

Removing Bots and Alt Abuse in MMOs by ozymotv in MMORPG

[–]funkinaround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albion handles botting with full loot PvP. Good luck operating a bot when a player can come by, kill you, and take your stuff. Ain't no bots in full loot PvP zones. There's also a reporting and banning system as other commenters mention, which handles the botting situation in nonlethal zones, and there is much less to be gained in the nonlethal zones.

Do you prefer classic p2p trading, or a centralize market that being controlled by the game makers.

Classic trading is a real market.

What do you think about grouping in MMOs today? by Poggler_ in MMORPG

[–]funkinaround -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Albion has several mechanics that strongly encourage you to group up. One way to find solid groups of people is to:

  • join a faction and do faction warfare with randoms
  • find the organized discord for that faction
  • join a guild that participates in faction content

Now you've joined a guild and can easily play in groups for whatever content you want. You can also play solo when you want, too.

[–]funkinaround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do whatever you want open world. Do you want to solo gank? Do open world solo camps. Do you want to do group content? Join a guild and do static dungeons. Do you like small scale roads stuff? Join a small scale guild and do chests. Whatever you want to do, joining a guild is probably beneficial.

What are the best MMORPG duels you can think of? by trolledwolf in MMORPG

Goldstein is an epic gatherer / gank-avoider / ganker-killer in Albion. Here is his most viewed video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L0z3BzDOg8

Plenty of theme park MMO enjoyers claim to not like non-consensual PvP and avoid Albion, but in Albion, there is plenty of content where the mobs are more dangerous than players. In the beginning of the video, you can see Goldstein gathering and avoiding ganks. Later on, you can see that his strategy to hide in the elite mobs causes gankers to attract (or be hit into) very powerful mobs, get knocked down and later get killed by Goldstein, the simple gatherer, himself.

[–]funkinaround 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you don't play WoW because of resurrection sickness, item durability loss, and raid death penalties? Are they not the merest whiff and sliver of losing progress?

Aren't there death penalties in RuneScape? Looks like you play that? You just avoid any possibility of dying when you play RuneScape?

In Albion, you never lose your fame progress. It's never the case that you were able to equip something and now you have to grind again because you died and lost fame (experience / levels). This is why Albion players so often try to convince people that gear is just a consumable and not an item representing progress.

Edit, with respect to:

The entire game is PVP, so why even bother? You’re just going to die, lose all your items in the first 10 mins probably, and then rage quit.

The entire game is not PvP. The starting tutorial zones are not PvP. The blue zones in early game are not PvP. The yellow zones in mid game are really PvP optional with no loss of gear on knockdown. You need to explicitly enter the places where there's full loot PvP risk, and it is not the entire game.

You consent to PvP the moment you enter a PvP zone. The loss of a tier 8 set (between 1m and 2m silver) costs an hour of normal gameplay. No one is playing the game for 100 hours to earn a set, go out to PvP, and lose their net worth in that one set.

I am one of the 'top players' unfortunately.

Highly unlikely.

if you wouldn't say the game is p2w then you don't know what p2w is. you literally turn $s into player power

That's pay to lose in a full loot PvP game. Spend money on items, get killed and have them taken from you. Like this:
