Every top guild on P99 has been exactly the same for the last 10 years. Guild A rises to power, Guild A makes insane 'raider' requirements that allow loot only to the neckbeards, the warmbodies eventually get to 'raider' status after months, Guild A starts awarding insane amounts of DKP for tracking (to the neckbeards who are 'screen sharing'), warmbodies get some loot but are largly at the neckbeards mercy, warmbodies start to aquire enough DKP to be a threat to neckbeards alt #3 or #4, Guild A implodes and the same neckbeards create Guild B under alts and/or rotated leadership and a wiped DKP system.

The name of the game is moving the goal post enoughg that only no life retards get raid loot, but there is enough incentive to keep the warmbodies coming so that the numbers are there.

Individuals commit the sunk cost fallacy when they continue a behavior or endeavor as a result of previously invested resources (time, money or effort) (Arkes & Blumer, 1985). This fallacy, which is related to loss aversion and status quo bias, can also be viewed as bias resulting from an ongoing commitment.

The biggest mistake is saving for those really rare drops.

Nah. With it being winter and the rona still killing folks, there are worse ways to kill time than shit posting about drama on an elf sim forum.

You could write the reee petitions, then they may actually read like an adult wrote them instead of an 8 year old.

Yea Jestuh got an insane amount and no one else really mattered with where I'm at. I was basing what would be fair off his DKP. And given he had less than myself at AM's dissolution, 0 wasn't a fair offer and gave me a bad gut feeling. Since then other amounts were thrown like 150 which seemed more like a not serious token offer.

Much of the Aftermath leadership wasn't appreciative of me even during my time in the guild. So yes, that sentiment does play in. A time when the officers all decided to loot council a roll I'd already won to one of Detoxx's bots for favor comes to mind. Since that, I didn't feel respected but I continued on because there was no other option to continue playing the game.

And sadly that's where this server is headed for the common raider. In my time in AM Detoxx willfully ignored server rules only once, a time he told Ralug to engage Eashan while the current target was at 2%. Nowadays it's just a common occurence. Vulak blurs, intentional trains on another guild's bots, Tunare delink exploits, unwillingess to concede even the most blatent infractions. All for some sense of revenge I guess. I'd sooner go Naethyn's route and not play at all than play under the Sedyt 2.0 that Detoxx has found to lead his alliance.

It's already been pointed out that your claims of being offered 0 DKP don't seem to align with any reality we know of. Do you really think that a fledgling guild wouldn't have done back flips to have you main a cleric for them? You and I have zero history and I've seen your name pop up plenty of times in officer chats when talking about what we would offer if you reached out to us and it was definitely a number greater than 0 DKP.

Additionally, your comments about Tunare and Vulak exploits are really alarming. Is the messaging in your guild so strong that you actually believe this? And I'll bite on your "unwillingness to concede" comment. What haven't we conceded for blatant infractions?

1. Vulak blurs: Remember that one time when one of Riots members chain dispelled Zlandicar? You wouldnt have thought they did it but, they did. This same reasoning applies to a blur on Vulak. There was 0 proof that one of your disgruntled members, after losing the like 11th Vulak in a row, didnt just decide to blur it to try and force a concede.

2.What about intentional trains that actually affected an engage such as CT? Or intentional dispelling of raid mobs that are slowed like Zlandi? These seem much worse than someone raging on his own (Arcler can be quite insufferable) and having no intent of doing it to win the mob.

3. Tunare exploits? Which? The kite is free as soon as we engage and, last kill, it actually almost got to us and wiped us. Learn to read Rogeans post before throwing slander.

4. This one is a major yikes. Riot is the kings of lawyering the most blatant infractions and then just saying fuck it, we arent conceding (Koi, Tunare for example)

Sad to see youve drank this much Kool-Aid Nexii but, is what it is.
