Turning on autoattack is hard enough. It's ridiculous that they make you walk up to the mob to do it.

Good point. So what's the problem?

Some corrections. Seal team is significantly smaller than most people realize and historically speaking and have not been the largest raiding body. However guild members are extremely active and often have more than 1 max level toon which can give the impression that we're bigger than we actually are.

We do have a raider kit requirement which most recruits offered help and time to obtain. We have 15% RA requirement, not 70%. We support casual non-raid members which has no minimum RA requirement.

The loot system is a loot list overlay above a DKP system. Raiders get a loot list, everyone, social members included, get an equal allocation of DKP.

Your first Trak tooth is DKP free, to complete your VP key. Your first sleeper key is DKP free. Subsequent keys cost DKP. Apply today.

Thanks for the clarification. And sorry for the misconception. By 70% RA, I meant members will need a significant amount of RA to obtain items on their loot list. But I am not in <Seal Team>. I had a friend in <Seal Team> very roughly explained it to me. But, <Seal Team> sounds nice and pretty friendly to casuals who want a taste of endgame raiding.

Cheers

No RA is only a secondary factor and used for tie breakers only. Lots of low RA people are getting their items week after week. The loot system is designed to award people of various play times. Not just funnel to officers and poop sockers.

Ah sorry for the misconception and I apologize. Again, a friend from <Seal Team> very very roughly explained it to me. And sorry Vill for the inaccuracies as well. You were kind to me and I will remember that.

How did the UN ruin the chances for a #2 guild?

A couple things happened. First the UN. Once this was formed, this entity shunned any aspiring guild that didn't want to play by their rules. This started with planar mobs.

So when a new guild forms up, you have to ask to be put on the rotation. This in turn doesn't make any 2nd guild stand out from the rest. Because well, all guilds under the #1 guild are basically conveyor belting loot while using social pressures to deny anyone from joining a guild (not named seal team) that doesn't fit their narrative.

The second thing that happened was allowing this system to perpetuate indefinitely by giving "free weeks" and continued "welfare pixels" by the staff.

This in turn entrenched guilds to continue their positions. If this was not done, pressure would have mounted on guild leaders within the individual guilds in the UN to try to step things up. Without calling out any names, the leaders of the top UN guilds just didn't want to race. It's much easier to blame everything on how good Seal Team is instead of how bad you are. The bottom line is, there just wasn't enough social pressure obtained to replace the guild leaders running the conveyor belts to ensure a competitive environment.

If Seal Team would have been allowed to run a train on all targets and mobs like they should have (even though they initially created the UN,which was brilliant for them btw), this would have never happened. Eventually, overtime, the UN would have lost all its power and the entire thing would have fell apart and a #2 guild would have rose from the ashes.

That's green server in a nutshell. Hopefully the same mistakes aren't made on the next server. Hope yall enjoy watching ST clear Sleepers.
