How Blood Guard does Lodi

[Manasana2]

Lol Cecily we both came from a crazy time all those years ago... to think they bitching about a random mob to charm is funny

Yeah it's hilarious this is even an issue, but RnF would suck without new, highly offended blood so I'll allow it.

I feel like new players are guided by a strong sense of idealism and think that translates into game play.

This is an accurate statement.

However, it's hard to tell if the OP is guided by idealistic naivete or grand self-entitlement, or simply frustrated and needed to vent with elf pals in RnF.

No matter what guided them to create this thread, it's been well-recieved and well-served. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I consider myself far more pragmatic than highly/easily-offended, but I do indeed understand much more about this particular encounter than before. And quite frankly, I'd consider FTE + caveats much more "fair" than DPS racing.

It's still a dick move, but at least I know more about the normal engagement practices regarding the turtle and certainly have no issue playing along with it.

Also bad players. Without Rustle being around, the good player variety of casuals don't exist anymore. Azure Guard is solidly in the casuals being bad at EQ and therefore bitch when EQ doesn't go their way category.

I think the first mob BG contested against AG was a VS/R with paradigm shift. AG got FTE, wiped, AND trained our raid with VS, then, when BG/PS engaged him (without a new FTE, because theyd been trained before agro reset, therefore no new FTE) Inbox started yelling concede and was threatening to petition us for KS'ing there mob because a new FTE wasn't made, and got so exasperated that other AG members were telling him to shut up. The whole thing, train/fight/inbox yelling concede was frapsed, he was told they had it all frapsed, and he still was yelling concede. I've since seen him yell concede or threaten to petition BG at, quite literally, every mob BG has contested against AG since, from Vox to severilous, if inbox is there, he brings salt with him it seems. When an officer of a guild has apparently declared his outright disgust for another, it is hard to keep those feelings and that mentality from trickling down into the masses that are lead by that person. BG has no issue with AG, other than that they seem to go after the same targets and provide some competition. As well as one of BG's leaders is an ex AG officer.

So in my eyes, when one officer of a guild has insulted/called out the entire other guild in public channels, that equals saidnofficers guild not liking other guild. Hate may have been a strong word.

Nah man, there are still camps in this game. You can't just tag shit with autoattack when someone's trying to pull their camp. But normally things get handled with a conversation. If the BG members in this situation could have held off on petitioning for FIVE GOD DAMN MINUTES, we might have also had a conversation. That was never their plan, though.

I don't agree with staff's decision on this, but I partly blame myself for being a bad lawyer in the heat of the moment. I honestly could not believe what was happening, and I'm never my best self at 5am. I'm just not sure he had a clear picture of BG showing up after the mob was well in hand, and then throwing a desperate attempt on tying up Grizlin with melee. I wonder if he thinks we raced for FTE and you guys grabbed the gnoll while we were busy. I dunno ... just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt I guess. Hard to believe he's ok with this shit.

You guys are greedy assholes - everyone that was there and everyone defending them. The FTE metagame is quite enough bullshit to have to deal with in any sane person's view.

Thanks for the support (you know who you are), and the porn tips.

I think I'm done with this now. I'm tired. I wanted the full RNF experience and I think I did OK.

See you all around.
