Is the raid scene really that bad?

[Kiwaukee]

The reason TMO will win every race in this current server setting is because their leadership uses "tracking" as currency, along with their DKP system. You almost have to put in time tracking if you want stuff.

This serves two purposes. First, it filters out applicants who either aren't dedicated or don't have the time to devote to constantly being available. Second, it means they almost always have someone at each spawn they're interested in killing. Combine these two, and you have a guild that has bunches of people who are always available and they almost always know exactly when things spawn.

Until another guild is willing or able to get on that level, it'll be really difficult for anyone outside of TMO to see epics that require raid bosses without paying for them until the revamp patches go live some time after Velious.

Even then, I expect greedy motherfuckers to camp epic stuff to sell MQs just like people do with the rogue and cleric epics now.
