Tiggles, you seem to forget that a lot of original live EQ servers had a set rotation, sometimes even calendar based. Please don't tell me you're one of those "FTE! IT WAS THE EQ WAY" people, because quite a few of us can remember that it most certainly wasn't. It depended on the server, but no servers had 4 day windows on primary targets and incessant sockfests. FTE and FFA is all fine and dandy if it were done properly, but Save the Ayn Rand shit for your economy class. But, perhaps more importantly, don't pull a Loke. The server's raid scene has been crap for a while now (since last year) with intermittent moments of actual competition. Raid rules were changed and still the outcome was the same. I don't feel I need to post exactly how i feel about this or the specifics, and more clearly quite a few people seem to think much the same way. If you really want to start a GM favoritism thread, this would be your best evidence.

Yes. Spare me your talk of 'competition'. I don't want the staff to have to come in and tell people how to play you mental midget. On live if you were moving a group to say Efreeti and you killed all the imps except the ones inside his room your group would set up outside and pull. You manage to pull the guards inside leaving him alone, and another guild runs up and ganks him. Anyone that pulled that kind of dickhead stunt would be vilified and eviscerated for such asshole behavior. Here it is encouraged and you peons call it 'competition.' You say other guilds aren't willing to 'compete' so they obviously don't 'deserve' anything because they aren't 'dedicated' or 'hardcore' enough. What a crock of bullshit. And let me be clear again, no one is complaining that if TR or TMO or any guild in the past as Loke referred to gets the gods/dragons because they are willing to text message or mobilize quickly. That was always how things worked.
P99 legal competition is not how 'competition' works. You call yourselves skilled and dedicated and therefore deserving of said targets or mobs when in fact I curse you for the selfish cowards you are. The rules in place only serve the guild on top. This game has always been about camping things AND mobilizing and when you have this 5 day variance all it does is make it easier for certain people to get more and everyone else less. Put the shit back on a fixed timer so people know when it spawns. And LIKE ANY OTHER CAMP the person that got there first has the fucking camp. Your bullshit about being able to leapfrog and steal pulls and show no lack of courtesy or respect is just a transparent veil that enables you to be selfish assholes. Under the 'rules' here the behavior that was not tolerated or allowed on live is fair game and encouraged. But you can claim that it is 'legal' so therefore you are in the right, and doing nothing wrong. The story is the same, every time one guild pulls a dick move people say "I'm not the one leading" or "It wasn't my call". How about "Yeah I didn't agree with it" or "I didn't approve". Yet those same people go along with it because not to means no loot for them. Too cowardly to stand up for anything and too selfish to say anything. Fire giants were always part of Nagafen I don't remember guilds leapfrogging and training each other once you had your guild at bind corner the last few pulls and the Nagafen attempt was yours. Every chance you have had at affecting a change by your actions on this server you have ignored and went for whatever got you the loot. No thoughts to the long term or what you were doing just going for the phat lewt for you. The actions of the 'top' raiding guilds on this server have created this mess and I have seen no tangible action that leads me to believe they want anything other then what we have. Killing every single mob and ensuring no one else got nothing forces people to poopsock. And quit fucking talking of competition like we have that here you morons have twisted and warped any sense of the word and simply are enablers seeking to keep any kind of system in place that servers you and you alone. Show me otherwise, prove it. Because your actions have spoken loud and clear on this server for quite some time.

Your analogy is flawed by the way. Punching someone in a race is against the rules and will get you kicked out. What TMO / TR is doing is training harder than you and finding the will to peddle faster than you in the race. You're losing fair and square. Get the race supervisors to limit the hours they can practice so you can get a win if you want, but as things stand, they're out competing you. | |||

That's how every MMO I've ever played works actually.. more time invested and a higher level of preparation leads to more rewards. Isn't that pretty much the entire point of playing an MMO? I mean, that is what a level based system encourages right.. it's not like they get any easier or take any less time the higher you get.. and a lot of people want to get max level (yes you can do this while having fun) not run around roleplaying that you're a bear or some retarded shit.
So ya, I think hardcore mmo players typically do put a lot of time into the game they're playing, not sure what other game you've been playing but that's how it works and thems the breaks. | ||
