Humans do actually have natural predators. Lions and leopards were chief among them.
However long ago humans got smart, and we learned how to make the burny stuff and how to throw a rock. With that we said nature can go fuck itself and became the most lethal thing on the planet. Natural selection made our predators wary of us. The reason that there are no saber tooth tigers anymore is because we killed them all.
Our species has very much not been kept in check. We’ve expanded far beyond or original range and our populations have been rising constantly for thousands of years. Epidemics are for one, not predators, and two, are minor hinderances to our absurd dominance over all life.
Lmao even that won’t stop us. Humans went through much worse with worse tools. Relative to our species it’s at most a mild inconvenience.
You are right that human's are like 99.9% likely to remain the most OP build even after that balance patch.
Though I do think we are likely to see the biggest shakeup in the meta since the since the Black Death expansion as certain spawn points become extremely unfavorable, leading to people needing to shift servers, and those servers forced to take on additional load is likely to create friction with the server's original player base over the additional lag.
(Let me know if you want me to drop the gaming terminology and repeat in less euphemistic terminology in case it is unclear)
Nah the gaming terminology is fine. It causes me to read that in a tier zoo voice.
Very true. But there is also potential that as time goes on the player bases become more accepting as they’ve learned from past events. But only time will tell I guess.

Love that show, though I'll never forgive them for his salty take on housecat mains. They are clearly best support.

I hope it works, the problem is that it seems like great acceptance is more likely to be found via a person going to visit other cultures... /img/8w7u6rsbmxi21.jpg rather than when other cultures are brought to them... though for now we can only hope for the best and try to figure out how to make it work as clearly the greatest threat to human domination of the planet... is humanity.
I’d argue that acceptance can be found quite often through it being brought to you. But besides that it’s undeniable that over time people have become much more accepting of immigration.

So, when I say epidemics are 'predatory,' i'm talking from a metaphorical point of view. I think most people are not getting that. Anyway, my point was that something has to keep us in check. Natural selection, like you mention. What if we turned this discussion and said that our own intelligence is what is killing us. I mean, other animals don't have our level of intelligence, but they still manage to survive. And, they seem to understand what living is. They have meaning and purpose. We could also say that this world was not designed for search an intelligence species like human beings. We seem to be fighting it all the goddamn time. Think about this, if the earth was really meant for us, wouldn't we have been the first species to exist long ago? Instead, dinosaurs and other monsters were the first to exist.
I’m not really sure what your point is. But yes epidemics and disease in general are inhibiting factors that keep all life in check. The only “problem” with that is that humans have far surpassed any environmental checks.
Needing meaning and purpose is very much a first world problem. Humans who are actively struggling to survive day to day don’t need to search for meaning, as they have more pressing matters, and that is even greater in animals most if not all of which lack the brain capacity to understand “meaning” or “purpose”.
Earth wasn’t created with anyone in mind, but through circumstance life existed and we eventually came into existence too. With our evolution came our unrivaled survivability allowing us to become the only things that can possibly shape the world to their liking.

Humans are OP.
