We've been running the server on a TR? / IB model FTE sock model for the entirety of the server's history. That's not how all live servers worked and it's time to try an alternative. Sharing content would mean almost no staff intervention required versus our abomination of a raid system. I know how you feel, Aviann, but when the casual scum are just as capable of killing anything your top teir raid guild it's silly to feel superior.

It isn't a superiority problem that I'm having I don't believe. I'd be fine with just about anything at this point if it meant people would stop acting like morons.

Just so happens that nobody agrees with the whole, get what you put in mentality that I had before getting to this point so I can't exactly make a strong stance on anything besides the fact that people are stupid as hell.

Are you with AM now? Don't you ever feel like you're pressured to put in too much? Maybe not, but I feel like the toll for pixels as soon as possible is too high compared to what agreeing to a smaller cut and just enjoying content for the sake of killing dragons would do for IRL and server health here.

It is a fascinating case study. They basically let Forsaken do all the work for them, yet act completely entitled to the results. They are the 7-10 guys. They get some playing time but not when it counts. They'll get the rings. People know them around town, but everyone knows who brought home the banner.
Somehow in all of this you seem to be the most poorly informed of them all.

Please inform me who the Asgardian tracking heroes are compared to those that were putting in the time from Forsaken. Warm bodies that respond to batphones are great and all, but let's not act as if that's the hard part. Nalken, Gimp, Fifield...y'all don't have anyone anywhere near the same stratosphere of those 3.

Guilds fail and succeed on the strength of their trackers (now racers).

Then of course there's this little fun tidbit from your merger:

Guild Leader: Detoxx
Second in Command: Reep

But, yes, I'm sure Forsaken would completely agree that this was a marriage of equals and also call me completely misinformed.

the only system that would work is an extremely present and heavy handed group of GMs that enforced a rotation

otherwise its going to be retarded and no one remotely normal is going to raid

yea you can edit/add/remove textures in any zone and it's undetectable unless someone sees you running through walls or if you show self-incriminating evidence

forcing a file check upon login wouldn't stop it considering zone files aren't called until you attempt to enter that zone, so you can just swap them out after logging in

not like rogaine would even get around to creating such a file check, though

we submitted proof of people doing this shit on red years ago and nothing was ever done about it

Well you're a horrible person for publicly discussing that, but it should be fun to watch now.
