How does the fact that (if you don't want to buy it) you have to join a guild that raids creating justifiable anger?

I'm not sure what you mean by "wield it the right way." You can easily get your epic if you want to do it "the right way" by joining a mid level guild that raids fear and going for the golems. Winning the golem kills isn't impossible on off CT days.

On live, you would have had to do the exact same thing...except much less chance of buying it.

If you want to seek a real challenge for your shaman there are plenty of other metrics you can shoot for other than getting your epic. Its a static server years after being stuck in Kunark...the epics just aren't the mark of respect that they were on live. That is the nature of the static server though, it has nothing to do with A/A being greedy.

Pretty sure you've never been in the zone with us during a kill because you can't get to fear thru the RNF forum

My anger on this subject comes from the point of view of a new player. Someone who has spent a lot of time playing p99 but may not know the ins and outs of the server just yet. Shaman's epic seems (from that position) like it's locked behind a wall where only the elite can obtain it. And while yes it is an epic so it shouldn't be handed out willy nilly. It does seem that the pay wall is absurdly high and for those non guilded it's nearly unobtainable.

One of the biggest false senses of accomplishment is the shaman epic quest line. You can go through it start to finish, Sit in CoM, or do turn ins. None of which are difficult what so ever. So you breeze through the factioning part of the epic quest and then suddenly get hit in the face with said pay wall or needing a raid guild. I feel this leads to many new shamans or alt shamans becoming frustrated in not being able to wield their epic right away.

-- lost my train of thought--
Also shaman is played far more on p99 that it ever was back in the day. Prices for items on p99 are entirely made up based on perceptions and then cast is stone until they magically get lower.

Yes there are harder epics to obtain but that's irrelevant.
ps. I have my SoF, I paid for it. /shrugs

It's an epic. Epics are attained by the elite. That is classic. What percent of people had their epic in velious on live? A much smaller than have it here.

Good argument back when TMO ran the server. Epic bottlenecks years and years later get to the point where it's kinda ridiculous. Solution? Luclin probably. So in other words, the situation will never improve. You just need the stars to align and get lucky or buy it.
