This is part of why I quit playing here, and also describes roughly 90% of the server.

98.9%

so i was wondering ...

every high end guild gets raid suspended for messing up some other guilds raid ... or this guy from this guild logged in and aggroed this mob and this other guild was here first.

so why dont all of you join the same guild? like make one guild with all like 600 of you or something (600 including all the alts and your friends account which you guys totally dont share that information with each other) and raid everything? you could totally call it " Ataagbdadoldeiibkwsnosttmof " this being the first letter of every raiding guild on P99 more or less.

seems kinda silly that 14 years ago i was raiding these bosses and i dont recall the GMs suspending us for killing cetain bosses or being rdy to go for a boss spawn, or have limited ways to find and kill the bosses, it was all FFA.

we talked to the guilds that wanted to kill them and they pretty much said 'hey yeah go for it you need it more than we do' and they left, if some of their members stayed to help that was cool... of course i never saw the GM that popped up and suspended that guild for helping i dunno ignorance is bliss

14 years ago there wasn't 2,000 level 60's on one server in Kunark.

Don't see a problem with folks who're in different guilds on different characters. That's their prerogative.

I figure the folks who stay at the top end hate each other too much to tolerate being in a guild with more than some dozens of similar pixel-driven folks. After all, each extra person is that much more competition for the much-wanted pixels! The top guilds always seem to fracture after awhile once they get too many active players.

OP finally figured out the truth: this isn't classic. But it's the best there is. Either you want to do the poopsock thing or you don't.

My opinion? Play till it's not fun and move on. So many games to play out there you can afford to move on once it's not fun anymore.

P.S. No grown adult enjoys camping mobs for 10 hours a day. If they had the mental capacity to move on they would.

And that's why people don't join the same guild.

I recall (on live) that how raids worked depended on the server. Ours had a rotation and if you broke it, you were called out on the rant boards. Usually, that was enough to keep people in line. 99% of the time, guilds and leaders were happy to follow a rotation and few issues came up.

It really seems to depend on how people on the server communicate. I don't ever imagine myself to be a high-end raiding type person and figure there's more than enough content to keep people occupied from all walks of play.

I have spoken with and met (in game) some folks from the "uber" guilds and have always had a positive experience. I think it comes down to respect and how you interact with and speak to other players.

On one hand, I don't see non-uber guild folks ever getting epics, for example, because some of those harder/rarer mobs don't stay up longer than a few minutes, but on the other hand, I don't need an epic of "amaaaaazing gear" to have fun.

My experience on this server has been a positive one. Even those acting dickishly tend to show the nature of their better angels when push comes to shove. Consider me a glass-half-full (and also refillable) type of player.
