Lothar's Lair

In most MMORPGs they allow teenagers and even younger play the game, and by “they” I mean parents! Which is really a terrible problem most MMORPGs have it seems, because when adults play,we at least have some sort of tactics in mind when assaulting the enemy and teamed with other online players. Children seem to randomly,have their characters (PCs) run in chaotic patterns,shoot,attack the wrong enemy for the situation. Every one knows when in combat with a mixed group of adversarial classes one kills the healers first,not children though, they will stand on the front lines and whack away at the other teams heavily armored (tank) PC and hope for the best. Children seem to treat MMORPGs as first person shooters (fps) and believe they can dish out more damage than the healer that’s 20 yds. away can heal, which is only possible if the healer is very busy healing himself as well as the tank. IMHO all enemy healers should be targeted first then the PCs doing the most damage per second (DPS) or Damage per millisecond (DPMS) usually the wizards/mages/sorcerers, or whatever the game calls the magic using fireball slinging finger wiggling classes in robes….lol. Then finally the tanks/fighters/rangers/or the sword wielding shield bearing heavily armored PCs. This should be automatic tactics for any group of online players fighting another group of online players in an MMORPG.
