While I am grateful for our alliance with Seal Team, as it gives our members some opportunity to obtain rare items, I haven't yet felt the connection from Seal Team members as I do with my brothers in the Dark Men of Odus. Despite the attempts to paint us as a guild for Seal Team alts, the people in my guild know this is not the case because we have all adventured together and created connections that reinforce the idea that our guild is a brotherhood.
And it acts as a brotherhood as well, helping one another with no thought to one's own gain. Sharing loot, free teleportation, giving gifts, and trying to make each member as powerful as they can be. To face the end-game challenges with my brothers is a much more fulfilling idea to me than to jump in with a bunch of strangers and get lost among the crowd.
We have already lost some brothers to the ravages of attrition, but I believe that once we can come together to face some end game challenges, our friends will return. Holding and fighting King Tranix was much more enjoyable than the couple of Seal Team raids I participated in, and it is my hope that we will be able to face new challenges in the future, no matter how they may arise. And us Erudites are a proud people, we will not accept the slights that have been presented to us by the low-minded Antonican.
This is in no way meant to slight Seal Team, they seem to have a very well organized and efficient guild, but it seems the heart of our guilds lay in separate spheres.

And this right here is the issue with ~~~tHe rAiD sCeNe~~~ - - - getting lost in the crowd and not making connections. Not having actual playing chemistry with your guildmates. Not actually having adventures and killing hard shit and having fun.
Essentially what it comes down to in a giant zerg guild like high school is - no DKP? Fuck you. If I'm not getting DKP for this, fuck off. If you're a wizard or a druid you want to /role because if you don't your own guildies that you probably don't really give a shit about will randomly ask you for ports, yet you've never grouped together or helped each other out in any way. How many people on this box have secret alts that aren't guild tagged just to "get away" from their guild? lol
Oh and by the way....want a required clicky? That'll be - - - ten thousand dollars! (home improvement joke I have with my lady lol) The sky high prices of clickies and the early high-end drops on Green are simply from guildies gouging each other. Clickies never reached anywhere near these prices on Blue and the price of clickies on Green relative to inflation makes it even more ridiculous. These clickies became "required" later on in blue yet never reached anywhere near these price points. The fat 35 year olds became fat 40 year olds and evolved lol.
It sure will be interesting by Kunark when everybody will have their planar drops and there's hundreds of people and multiple guilds competing for just a handful of new dragon drops. Very few people will actually get loot and many people won't get anything. When this is the only thing your guild has going for it and you can no longer deliver, people stop buying into the pyramid scheme.
Oh and by the way, the warmbody nubs that you recruit to keep the pyramid scheme possible need to get their asses to 60 without Chardok AOE. Good luck.
