Understood regarding the strategy. If that strategy is what people always do, I suppose planning for that or making the proper adjustments should be taken into account.

That said, it just seems like a dick move, regardless. Of course, even on live, Lodizal brought out the worst in people, even when the content was trivialized during like PoP or somesuch.
I feel like new players are guided by a strong sense of idealism and think that translates into game play. They don't see the cutthroat horror show we made this server for years on end. Yeah it's a dick move. It's also pragmatic, legal, and something I'd do. I'm also ex-TMO, a guild that locked down server content with that mindset. I prefer your mentality, but that's not the type of place P99 ended up being.

This is an accurate statement.

However, it's hard to tell if the OP is guided by idealistic naivete or grand self-entitlement, or simply frustrated and needed to vent with elf pals in RnF.

No matter what guided them to create this thread, it's been well-recieved and well-served. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks OP!

Also bad players. Without Rustle being around, the good player variety of casuals don't exist anymore. Azure Guard is solidly in the casuals being bad at EQ and therefore bitch when EQ doesn't go their way category.

There's also a third option in between being a cutthroat raider and a snowflake wishing everyone would play nice. I call it the (pre-breakdown) Greengrocer school: Just do random shit you find amusing outside of the raid scene.
