P99 is a Meritocracy, not a Democracy

Speaking generally, competition does feel better overall compared to roll/rotations, because having to compete imbues all of the sought-after items with memorable stories. So when the player is standing staring at a wall looking over their inventory, it isn't just a sheet of stats but a more personal collage of encounters. That said, when the competitive memories connected to those items are all terrible and make any sane person question why they even log on, roll/rotations are without question superior.

I love your description of a collage of memories, that's really what it is. If you feel your collage of memories are all terrible, maybe another server is more suited for you. I know a lot of people here cherish their collages, regardless of if their memories are with Riot, Vanquish, TMO, Awakened, Aftermath, etc. I think those collages are valuable because they weren't just given to them on a quarterly basis. I'm convinced they wouldn't care if it was just given to them after waiting in line long enough for the pixel train to choo-choo through.

Again though, I completely agree about cheating (accidently forgot to quote on the previous post). I also think there is probably one or two guilds/groups that should probably be dismantled/purged because of this, but that is a GM issue and above our pay grade.
