And this is why Taken wouldn't be getting anything. Its not that their average player is unable to do ToV stuff. It's not even tracking (although you guys did have issues with that for such a big guild). They just didn't have what Ramp and Forsaken/Asgard had, a bunch of players that played this game competitively for years. That's what they would have been up against. What made Asgard different than a lot of casual guilds, is they had a few people like that running the show.

Now that Taken has been raiding with old Rampage members for quite awhile, they aren't the same guild and the players have changed as well.

Honestly I could say the same thing about TMO/Forsaken/Aftermath, All their big dick play makers quit during Kunark, It's strange but when TMO's good FTE'ers quit it made the game a lot less fun for me being in IB/Rampage.

Yep, this is EXACTLY how I felt when Rampage left. I was pissed when the sleeper woke up but not so much because of ST becoming a nothing zone, more because it was like "Hey! Where are you guys going!?"

We didn't like eachother but the game was at its best (for me) during the Ramp v. F/A with all of the tactic escalation. Every week one side was coming up with new ways to FTE a mob that the other side didn't even realize they never had a chance on because the new tactic was so much better than the old one.

Awakened has some great playmakers too and the competition is great - but it was at it's best when the ST race was a big part of the rest of the targets.

Klandi and Sont are useless these days.

Zlandi is a guild bank target.

LTK has ok loot but used to be a much higher priority for the key.

Yelinak still has his head, but the key isn't as big of a deal.

All 5 of those mobs used to be big kills every week.

unable to do ToV stuff ? lol

Such Taken hate, did one of them piss in your Cheerios one morning and you vowed to expose them to the internet.

Taken teamed up with Forsaken in ToV before Asgard...honestly its Asgard that would be getting nothing.

0 server first Velious kills, 0 VP kills solo, handful of BS ToV kills solo while "Forsaken" was suspended. They did get KT tho.....after forcing Awakened to not contest due to a moron monk getting FTE while turning in his Dain head.

I agree w Endonde - what you said could be said literally ab all the top guilds.

I almost forgot the best part, the Vulak we killed that week dropped the BiS monk fist, Gharn's Rock of Smashing. Despite all the time Huko put in, it never dropped until then. The incident is portrayed in this documentary footage:

I've seen a lot of Hitler vids but this is by far the most accurate.

Taken got to ride along with Forsaken what 1 time? You overstate your former guilds value in NTOV, during the brief era pre rampage team up.

As per Asgard/Forsaken team up and merge it was inevitable, as there had always been close relations between the two.

I don't see the appeal of sacrificing months of sleep for BIS. Or really what the BIS appeal is even. You get marginally more effective at doing what you've already did to do it more. That way lies insanity. Gnome mask couldn't not be fun though.

I haven't been on a batphone in about 2 years of raiding, maybe more. If I'm around and wanna play EQ, I'll raid. If not, I'm doing other shit and don't care. Everyone labels A/A as 100% unemployed neckbeards when it couldn't be further from the truth. Sure, both guilds have a contingent of hardcore people, but most rosters are mainly made up of people with healthy lives that are able to balance top end p99 and RL easily.
