Is this a serious question? If youre playing on this server I'm assuming youre not new to everquest, and if you've been playing for any amount of time and havent figured out how raiding guilds work you're incredibly dense. Raiding is about numbers. You only need a few competent people to corral all the retards to get shit done in EQ. That isnt to say the rest of the people arent important, they just play a small enough role in encounters that a toddler with developed motor functions could stand in for them if necessary.

The important thing for raiding guilds is having the numbers. It doesnt matter how good you are, you're not downing end game mobs with a couple groups. So once you have a base of decent players you just have to mass recruit to round out the roster. It doesnt matter how smart or good the players are, just that they show up and perform the simple task assigned to them (e.g. turn on auto attack, click heal, etc).

This is not a new or unique phenomenon. Empire has some great players, but out of necessity they have some morans as well. If you're not willing to put up with idiots you're never going to kill end game content, because creating a raiding guild that consists of only decent people is about as realistic as your high school english teacher finally getting that novel they've been working on published.

Empire leadership has actually done a pretty impressive job keeping all their members from starting internal drama as far as I can tell. The pixel pinata probably helps, but keeping a roster of 200 people from cannibalizing each other isnt a simple task. The job of guild leadership is the keep the guild functioning, not enriching the game experience of some rando who happens to play on the same server.

So in particular they NEED these 2 or 3 toxic members in order for the other 200 not to fall apart ? I doubt that... And I'm sure they could discipline those members for their actions instead of letting them spit, fart, piss, shit and jizz all over OOC chat...

Consider them the first stage of the app process. If you cant tolerate them in /ooc then you will never survive being guilded with them.

That's my point.
Why ?
Why do you get to act he way you do without discipline ?
What makes you so special ?
Why do you disrupt the majority of the community on a daily basis ?
Why do you act like this ?

To give you an honest response

Im loved in the guild, im the funniest person we have. People love spending time with me in voice chat. To top it all off im the best rogue on the server in pvp in all scenarios and im the top dps rogue on every encounter.

If it makes you feel any better my doctors say i have a chemical imblance
