I'm in an R guild and I respect what LB is doing and I don't even think it's obnoxious.

First, if they really want to move up to C guild raiding, they need experience in racing. There is a big difference between getting two hours to set up for a Trak pull and two minutes. So, if they ever want to learn those nuances (which I sure as hell don't know...but I know they exist) the only way to get that experience is to race class R guilds.

Second, people claim they are picking on guilds...but they aren't winning those races yet. Why would they want to race BDA when they can't win a race against a guild with many fewer members? If LB starts to consistently win races against Supremacy, Ni...I'd expect the to start racing AG/Europa, if they start winning those races, then they'd race Div...Taken...BDA. Why would they want to start racing against the guilds that they'd have very little chance against? They'd want to develop strategies and then move up. If 12 months from now they just block one guild from their targets, then it'd be time to name call, not now.

Third, it makes everyone step up their game. Just because the vast majority of Class-R guilds are in agreement now, they might not be later. All guilds need to learn not just mob strategies...but fast mob strategies. It can only help once Velious arrives. Part of the big TMO complaint wasn't just that we couldn't kill mobs, it was we couldn't even get a chance to know if we could. Guilds that have never killed Trak, CT, Sev, VS are going to learn how to kill these mobs...but at some point will need to know how to kill mobs under pressure.

Then initially they should be racing the easier guilds. They're racing AG and Europa - and on the same mob - why not choose an easier guild/mob?

Their current strategy makes no sense unless they're after a specific drop for a specific person. (a big nono)

I fully expect once they've raced and beaten BDA atleast once they'll attempt to race the C guilds. If that doesn't materialise, the term dickheads is fully justified. Ofcourse, shitting up the sky agreement that even the class C guilds have agreed to is a dick move in itself - there really is no argument there.

LB are perfectly within their rights to attempt to snipe mobs from other R guilds but the other R guild do have a right to find them obnoxious, and ridicule their attempts at mobs.

Seems to me the more reasonable approach for a guild trying to gain raid experience is milk the R rotation and FFA/off-window mobs, work out their raid strats and get geared, then start competing with the heavy hitters in the R tier. If I was a Doljo member I'd be pissed off at the leadership for the approach they've taken so far!

Regards,
Mg
