There is about 15-20 people missing from that picture.

Make that less than 5 missing. If you're implying huge zerg, not so. And she went down without even 1 CH. Flawless execution from great leadership.

I count 25 people in that picture.

You had about 40 people in zone.

Zerg status verified.

Lol. OK bro. Those in the know, know.

Guess that leaves you out. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Grats on your kill Div.

Going back and taking a real close look at that pic...I count 30-33 in it...but then again, my eyes are old and tired. Considering I said less than 5 members were missing that were at the raid, I would have been awfully close...since it's been pointed out that 38 were there.

Objection over-ruled! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

New game!

How many Divinity members can YOU spot?

Congratulations to you guys, well done!

Look, All Clayton was pointing out was that there WAS 38 at the kill. There's nothing to be ashamed on downing Vox with 38, but the fact is some of your guildies tried to deny this (by either not knowing the facts or out of pride). That being said it's totally understandable since it would be even more retarded to number cap yourselves for the sake of proving something.

I'm very happy that you guys managed to down her, just unhappy as to how you got to attempt her. Where is the competitive spirit of racing to a mob? I'd hate to toss mud again in Trans's direction but this whole "if we can't race 'em camp 'em" mentality is just extremely lame.

After the whole rotation fiasco, rules were established to "allow" competitive racing. Players however are trying to bend this rule by flatly camping a boss. This is the part where I lose all respect to any camping raiding guilds. I mean why bother with the first to mobilize AFTER a boss spawns rule if your going to be sitting there WITH a 72 HOUR WINDOW?

All that camping for manastone wasn't enough? Is this the next evolution? Let's get random 15 players to sit for a cloak of flames? Isn't it easier and more efficient to setup a tracking rotation and allow the rest of your guildies to go on their lives and be summoned when needed? This is where it baffles me when people accuse us of being "too" hardcore. Seriously, I may be dedicated enough to log on when texted (while not being busy in RL) but to sit there online and willling to wait 72 hours for a Dragon to pop is a whole new level of "hardcore".

If responding to a call of logging on is half retarded then camping a boss is fully retarded. I'm dying to get out of this limited content cluster fuck, Sky will see to that more or less until Kunark comes out. So no I'm not all butt hurt about Div getting Vox, losing bosses to competing guild was a reality waiting to happen. It's just the manner of how we lost is what bothers me and how the future raiding guild will evolve.

This btw isn't an "IB" only issue but something all raiding guilds need to consider. Is mass zerg recruiting and having 15 players in all boss zones 24/7 the next step in raid evolution? Are we going to be doing camp check for bosses in OOC? You might think this is an exaggeration but I can see how all this could unfold within the next 3months or so. My stance is to discourage camping, having boss mobs being reduced to a camp check just doesn't seem right in so many levels. I don't have answers to 'fix' this issue, the only thing I can think of is to REALLY increase the time variance to such a retarded extent that camping would not be viable (that would mean less bosses for the whole server).

So don't think of this post as being all bitter over losing a dragon. I'm happy for Divinity (those that know me online know I'm a reasonable guy). The zerg doesn't bother me, the camp certainly does. I've said my piece so troll away.

1.) Your thread does not belong here. Go to the rants section please.

2.) We were first in zone with 15 at the previously agreed upon staging ground.

3.) You still ended up calling us a zerg force at the end of your thread. Nice...

4.) The reason we were there en-mass had to do with a an issue that does not pertain to anyone outside of the two guilds involved and the GMs.

5.) Also, I seem to recall another guild hanging out in Permafrost for an extremely long time the last time she was due to spawn and you didn't seem to have a problem with it then.

6.) We did everything according to the rules set up for the server and prior agreements that were made between guilds. If you have any issues, take it up with the guild leaders that made the agreements or the GMs.
