Are you kidding me?

You sound like you are new to EQ. I'm not going to make this response too long because it's probably way over your head anyway. A/A has been winning the mobs since inception. The guild names are different but its still the same core people who learned from each other. From TR to IB to TMO to Forsaken to Rampage and everything in-between. They have limited FTEr's, they have allowed train fests, they have changed the FTE rule - the outcome is still the same, those who love this game too much and put in the time - win the mobs. You changing the rules has nothing to do with it, you can change them anyway you like minus giving away mobs and the outcome will be the same.

Last comment, unrelated but just wanted to point it out - calling people kiddo and neck-beard when you don't know who they are, makes you sound stupid. It's a comment someone who was 6 when EQ was released would say or just someone who never grew up.

I know you won't listen because you think you have an answer for everything but......I wouldn't mind the raid rules getting changed just so I could have a good laugh at your expense when it doesn't pan out the way you thought. Also if you were playing and beating this game when I was a kiddo, you should have no problem knowing raid mechanics and coming on a live stream.

I never thought I'd agree with this guy, but most of what he says here is right. The reason I said give the casuals a raid week out of every 6, is because I know what some of them don't want to admit, that we will always win a equal playing field because we have more dedicated players that have a very specific skill set that is hard to learn anywhere else.

It's ridiculous to think that a crown of rile is a necessary item to progress, but I think banning their usage is even more absurd.

It's one or the other dude. It's either necessary to progress or it needs to be banned. People that use it have a pretty huge advantage to the point where it really doesn't even make sense to show up to a race without one if others are going to use it.

Nalken got a week suspension out of nowhere for rile jumping on a statue race that he didn't even win. Fingerz was rile jumping like a madman last week and I didn't see him gaining some ridiculous advantagement against me before he got stunned.

Banning rile jumping is retarded.
Banning lull pulling when that's been used for years on Xygoz is even worse. We desperately need a GM familiar with the raid scene and mechanics and not someone that just throws out rules and punishments when they feel like it. This isn't a knock on Sirken, it's just obvious he's not familiar with the tactics that are and have been used to pull dragons for years.

Not going to lie, hearing about he nalken and fingerz suspensions had me actually say "what the fuck" out loud

Y'all play a raid scene where it's suspension first, rules second

Crazy

They get something stupid like 10 dkp/hour tracking

I'm curious, Gimp. What do you earn? I believe Aftermath is a DKP guild now; what reason are you giving for having so few people interested in foot racing?

If you read my Guild Recruitment bump, the fact is that there is little fun in actually killing the mob anymore. Having an hour to prep is too long. The only reason to rush is to get unlocked, and even that isn't the rush it used to be. So, the only fun left in these foot race mobs is the foot race itself. Sure, the waiting isn't fun, but when the mob spawns and you are actually racing, it's a rush. About the only rush left in the game, aside from Cazic Thule and Zlandicar. Yelinak is a coth race, /yawn.

Sad but true. Fingerz and I had a good laugh when I told him he was about to catch a week for rile jumping. Such an absolutely ridiculous "rule." Both people that have been suspended for doing it didn't even win the race in question, so it's obviously not some fucking huge advantage.

I don't have 48 pages to read, two people actually got suspended for using rile?

And neither won.

What an advantage to have. I'm so jealous.

I don't know how you lose with infinite jump. Have you ever tried racing somebody with 1 person jumping and the other not? Especially across a long distance?

Yeah it's only a big advantage when it helps you catch up. KoS and being in the lead it will just get you stunned/killed if you don't have faction in Kael. In ToV you can't do it while DA'ed which you will be if you are in the lead already. Soo...yeah GM's that understand mechanics would help out a bit. I don't think anyone blames Sirken. He tries his best to stop people from whining and the people that whine never understand the full gravity of the mechanics involved.
