Raid Scene Poll

One of the points I'm trying to make, is that TMO probably doesn't even need to accept applicants at this point. With the amount of toons/alts they field, they could probably compete in the raid scene and take 75% of the mobs with ease. But they would rather keep actively recruiting a large amount of players to maintain their firm grip, instead of using what they have to gear who they have.

If they didn't recruit apps their number of toons/alts wouldn't be as high, but they also wouldn't have as many people to gear. At this point they're basically recruiting so they could have a massive force in velious. No veteran in the guild needs gear for their main at this point, and gearing up 3rd alts is not classic.

You're wrong... on all counts.

Two years of Kunark = Burn out of members = Need new members = Recruitment.

Where normal people would say...

2 years of Kunark = Take a break.

If we took a break, then when velious hits we wouldnt be on our A game and couldnt be guaranteed to have a ready and capable force day 1.

With that being said, we are all still curious to see how many old members also return for that day. Many have quit until velious or so they said. Will be fun to see 2000 population or something close between all of the other people who have stopped over the years

yeah, really common for an entire guild to take a break all at once as opposed to people taking breaks when it's most convenient to them and the guild as a whole still operating and functioning as normal.

Listen most of you are decent people but when you spend 2 years locking down everything and refusing to work with people and instead point at the price you are selling epic pieces etc... You aren't really gearing out a guild. You are gearing out people who farm plat. So the excuse that you are gearing out new players doesn't make sense when you are selling a large portion of the drops.

Gear is only one part of the game and it's a small part.

Just because the gain is small doesn't mean it's nonexistent. TMO continued to do what they were doing so they wouldn't have to worry much (any) about competition in Velious.

The more well off the members are in gear, plat, status, characters, etc the better the guild is and the happier everyone wearing at TMO tag is.

You keep whining about how things are because you're unhappy with your guild and TMO keeps whining about how you guys are because they are happy with their guild.

TMO forum trolls won't admit this. They all claim they want competition.
