Still, 10% is criminally low and the number is being used to make a point (falsely).

A/A each have over 100 active raiders. Being conservative we can call that 200 active raiders (it is much higher). 200 is 10% of 2,000. Can you honestly tell me that there are 1,800 non-A/A active raiders on this server?

Again, I don't mean to nitpick the number but calling it 90/10 is clouding the issue.

I mean we could call it 80/20 but it's splitting hairs. A vast majority of the server can't progress through content due to the costs associated with raiding on p99. None of those guilds want handouts, they just don't want to sock, batphone, screen share, rule lawyer, etc so in your eyes they don't deserve anything.

Well, if you are counting the players who quit after realizing the raid scene was bat shit crazy, it's probably 99:1. And let's not forget that only about 50 people actually race. Everyone else just zergs, and as Dannyl pointed out with 1 hour it's pretty boring if you aren't racing (which is also boring).

That's also a fair point if you consider everyone that walked away after being exposed to the raid scene. BDA toughed it out for years, other guilds got absorbed (raptured, enraptured, full circle) and others just quit (BDA, HK, etc)

You won't get any argument from me on the one hour lockout & racing rules in general.

Shit sucks.

Bring back mages and insta pulls.

Make another blue server already. Keep a classic timeline and then when velious is released allow transfers from current server. They can rotate there if they want.

I honestly don't get why they don't do this. The really interesting part would be to see which of the servers would, over time, have the best and most healthy population. I know where my money is.

Sirken didn't tell the casual 90% to leave. But he said if you're unhappy there are other places. I mean that's such a neutral viewpoint stop trying to twist what he said nerds.

thank you for both restoring my faith in this community's reading comprehension skills, and also for not trying to twist my words in either a positive or negative way to suit your personal agenda.

this sirken post is at the threshold of readable length. if you are reading a sirken post of double this size, your forum chops are lacking.

What's my personal agenda? I don't have a skin in the p99 game anymore. Neither does Raev or any of the other retired folks that agree with me? Maybe, just maybe you're wrong.

[Raev]

I'm not 100% retired, but I'm only logging in for a few batphones a week and I haven't done any farming in months.

Somehow I can't seem to explain to the staff that the vast majority of players here would be fine with competition as long as that competition doesn't center around poopsocking, undetectable cheating, 3AM batphones, and rule lawyering. Rogean automating repops would be a massive step forward here.

sirken didn't tell casuals to leave. he told them to leave if they want to raid.

that's an important difference for some reason
