I'm *trying* to hug it out with Chest and you're sticking your rotten taken nose into it. It's not about casual vs hardcore. It's about the unchecked animosity between TMO and lesser guilds, like yours. You should really try to be nicer to us.

Chest you're biting the hand that feeds. We're all playing the same game here. Sirk and deru both rule pretty fair and do their best (although I may not be happy sometimes with it). With that said, we once had a talk (our guild liaisons and GM's) about frivilous petitions and how to settle amongst ourselves. TMO really tried to do that. Then we found to that over time even when we settled disputes with IB they would still petition us. It was close to a petition ratio of 3 IB to every 1 TMO petition iirc. So now we're forced to petition but we reluctantly filed stupid ones with fear of what the GM's said about wasting their time...
Now with that said... Is being punished for stupid petitions from raid guilds out of the question? If there was punishment that involved that I'm sure people would think long and hard about filing one or fabricating something like this. IB is great at filing 10 petitions in hopes one sticks. I wish I knew the GM's exact thoughts on filing petty claims... TL[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]R Chest youre a lost cause. Catherine is a fabricator. The raid scene is doomed without some sort of case study or rules against stupid petitions. | ||

Chest, i actually appreciate the sincerety in your responses.
I suppose what I really am reacting to is the modus operandi of the raid leaders on the raid forum. All it takes is one person to make a shady accusation that is not rooted in reality... And then the rest of the community jumps in on the attack, calling for suspensions without any regard to what really happened. That said, to some degree Catherine actually was doing a good job helping self police the raid scene by telling ib and TMO to back up out of range. She is not requires to do it, but it's necessary. This is something raid leaders do all the time, such as when guild members have been leveling past the zone line when trak and vs are in widow. Call it preventative measures. To some extent that's your job--you guys helped craft these rules, and seemingly propose new ones on a daily basis. As I've said before, you don't have to do it. Let TMO screw up and get suspended. But what is absolutely crazy is the idea that you can take a fraps of something that occurred at the beginning of a window, something that was fixed, and then use it as a basis for a suspension after the fact, particularly when no raid interference occurred. That is a form of rule lawyering that should be frowned upon by te community and not supported with open arms. Dolic | ||

1) 6/8/14 (give or take a day) Nagafen dies to Taken. BDA ran in with about 10 people at around 15% or something to get some hits in. Taken and BDA were of the opinion that Naggy was going down no matter what. TMO was of the opinion that Taken was wiping and by BDA assisting it cost them an attempt on Nagafen assuming Taken would have wiped. Unbrella immediately files a petition saying as much. The official violation in his mind was that since BDA had trackers there and Taken had trackers there so once BDA assisted (regardless of the circumstances) BDA/Taken became a combined raidforce thus violating the more than two tracker rule. As an insight to that incident, I wasn’t there. I didn’t make the call to go in and beat on Naggy, but from the officer present the entire thing was done as a goof on our side. The intent wasn’t “omg Taken is wiping, let’s make sure TMO doesn’t get dem pixels” even if was being spun like that. Whatever, let’s move on. 2) 6/14/14 (give or take a day) The infamous Dinacarl incident. This incident led to Sirken having a conversation with all the class R guild leaders separately (probably a week later or so) to discuss if GT was unfairly drummed out of the rotation. GT imploded soon after the incident because they had some very inept leadership. Class R did everything in our power to help them acclimate to the system. During Sirken's conversation with me (that lasted nearly 2 hours) the topic of Unbrella's Nagafen petition came up. Sirken assured me it was a non issue and that it was case closed. 3) 7/29/14 TMO eats a VP raid suspension from an IB petition that dated back to May. TMO is obviously upset because they felt blindsided by it and I don’t blame them, I’d be pissed too. 4) 8/15/14 Derubael PMs me about a pending petition from TMO Between points 3 and 4 TMO was going into full PetitionQuest mode. The staff had a fundamental shift as to how they were dealing with the petition system so Unbrella was making sure any and every possible petition that hadn’t been answered was going to get answered. TMO felt slighted by the way the IB petition against them was handled (rightfully so) so any old petitions that had been dismissed were being resurrected so the full scope of each incident could be analyzed and the new staff stance could be applied just like the IB petition. Here’s the conversation between Derubael and I. Things got relatively heated because I was on vacation and I had felt lied to by Sirken at this point. Derubael and I don’t really get along lol… Quote:

At this hearing (that I didn’t attend, Sadad did) we adamantly stressed that there was no collaboration between us and Taken. Our actions were of our own volition and we had no contact with Taken nor was any loot shared. Taken was dismissed. Derubael said that he and Sirken were only going to moderate the discussion, it ended up being Derubael/Sirken handing down a punishment because obviously BDA and TMO were never going to see eye to eye on situation. I don’t believe there were any fraps of screenshots of BDA and Taken trackers holding hands tracking together. I don’t think it would have mattered anyways because we were going to be guilty regardless. Even though this was an FFA encounter Derubael/Sirken decided to use the leverage of the rotation to implement our punishment which was to be suspended from our next Class R Nagafen in the rotation slot, which incidentally just came to pass. So this Nagafen incident happened in early June, we were suspended from our Nagafen rotation slot that just came up in mid October so maybe we’ll see Nagafen again around Christmas. A solid 4 month suspension. The point of this wall of text is to illustrate the differences in the way that the staff handles class C versus class R guilds. Everyone knows Sirken and Derubael prefer the class C mindset, this was evident during the initial class meetings. It’s not like they despise class R, but it’s the same reason why they ask in their podcasts “I wonder why no one moves to class C, all these benefits, etc etc” and to date more class R guilds have been suspended than class C guilds. That’s obviously because there’s more class R guilds but it’s also because that’s just how the punishments have fallen. Even when ALL of class R agreed that Azure Guard shouldn’t have been suspended due to the raid sheet not functioning nothing was done about it. In class C IB and TMO just give mobs up back and forth on a weekly basis. Oh you trained us on this Nexona attempt, you get the next one with no competition, everything is cool now right? I don’t think it’s legislated fairly across the board and that needs to change. TLDR – mew mew mew class R class C blah blah blah

All I am saying here is seems like same old people interested in personally attacking others rather than constructively criticizing and accomplishing some sort of goal. I am so casual on this server now I am a non factor. Cecily you know I haven't stuck my dirty rotten taken nose in anything that's a generalization. Rants and flames is for entertainment value only, if you want to try to make changes you all know where to make the posts. Your leadership and our leadership can work things out just not in this forum.
