I don't think you quite understand how this works, do you? OoA drops noble loot and killing it pops the Hand of Veeshan, which also drops noble loot. The people killing OoAs are definitely getting loot from the OoA kill, and sometimes from HoV, but they also often leave HoVs up. So to say "no pixels for anyone" is outright misinformed.

The only people missing out are the hardcore poop-sockers trying to FTE noble within seconds of the spawn. It sucks for them, but they shouldn't have started shitting all over the smaller guilds by clearing island 1 in order to port up to noble. Blame them. It was people like AG and Rustle that got us into this situation.

There is a complete difference between a guild (AG) killing 2 thunder spirits and then stopping AND helping buy keys for the guild that ported up for their raid vs someone (unknown?) who doesn't give a crap and just clears Isle 1 on a regular basis. AG never kills OoA's if they are up so that more Nobles spawn for more people. Anytime that Noble spawns and we go after it we will either use corpse'd toons or buy keys to 1.5. We will even wait if there are guilds already up there preparing to try the mob (VS/Second Sons this weekend for example). We could of easily mobilized and killed the mob but decided not to shit over those smaller guilds as you put it.

You can't pick and choose whether your racing for a mob or shitting over a smaller guild - either its one or the other, otherwise I'm going to call A/A for shitting over us every time we kill clear for Vox/Naggy/Magi/VS etc and they come in and pick off the mob. Why is that any different than if we did that to a smaller guild? We can all either complain about it, get better or try to negotiate different terms. It would just be nice if you can see a guild is 80% through the process that your guild just lets them have first try. You can see that they are actively working on the mob - things would just be so much nicer on this server but that's never going to happen because after 8 years onto this project people are still pixel hungry.

Do you really think that guilds want to poop-sock mobs? It's a result of having to do this just to have a chance at any drops because some guilds can't stand to share. This isn't Live, there isn't going to be something new to move on to kill and waive your e-peen over. If I wanted that I would be on Live with over 150K HEM and fighting for that 5% better new item in a instance somewhere.
