You act like Divinity is the only guild that's ever done a kind deed and has completely avoided any wrongdoing. I've seen both kindness and asshattery come from Divinity in the past. I don't know, maybe each of you in Divinity now are a fucking Jesus Christ in your own right; I wouldn't know.

If you want something.... TAKE IT!!

What I love about Everquest is the self-determination. No, retards, I don't mean that people are determined, though they are; I mean that you are the master of your own destiny. If you want something, all you have to do is want it more than the next guy and act accordingly. Playing Everquest extremely well is an art, but having sufficient skill to do this and that is not that difficult. I had never played Everquest (or any MMO) before this server and now I'm better than 99% of you at it. Everybody knows what is required to get (blank) done, but most people are not willing to muster the time and effort to do so.

I think if you asked a great number of "family style" guilds what it is they would change about this, their responses would altogether boil down to "I want Everquest welfare - give me shit I wouldn't otherwise have because I am not capable/willing enough to get it legitimately." Rather than bitch about the fact that Norrath, like Earth, is a land of haves and have-nots, you should just try to convince the staff to open up another server to spread out the competition. I understand that on live when people didn't like other hardcore players dominating content, they would just move to another server where the competition was more thin. Don't try to advocate Socialism in Norrath just because you don't have another server choice and/or you don't have what it takes to cut it here.

Furthermore, I'm getting really sick of seeing what I call "the defensive second tier guild mentality" in which people always assume the worst about whoever it is. I'm talking about the situation where maybe a tank is snoozing a little and another group pulls a mob through his camp and he attacks the mob and has to listen to /ooc nonsense about how TMO/IB never respect the rules and just do whatever they want and blah blah blah. Don't be a fucking retard and acknowledge the possibility of an honest mistake. I for one am not shy to flip out on people when they act against me (or my pals) with definite malice, but consider at first that most people aren't "out to get you." It's kind of funny that when a similar unfortunate incident occurs with people outside of second tier guilds, they're altogether pretty cool about it. I can't count the number of times I've been trained/inconvenienced, but I can tell you that most of the times it's happened without malice and without extremely negligent inconsideration, my response has been "lol shit happens." BDA is the worst about demonstrating "the defensive second tier guild mentality." And let me tell you, if you automatically just assume the worst and take it to /say or /ooc immediately, I'm just going to live up to your expectations many times over.

Short summary: Don't be a bitch and stop fucking crying.

No offense but you saying you are better than 99% of people playing this made me laugh. If your reading comprehension is lacking that much people are saying if the rotation was done this way there would be guilds there competing for it...
