What you are trying to say in way too many words is: Please enforce a rotation.

What I am trying to say is, is there another way other than racing.

The top guilds are great. I dont want take anything from them but unfortunately it is like racing vs guilds on steroids atm and the top guilds will always have that advantage and stay on the top leaving lower guilds unable to progress unless the top guild gets banned or they deguild and join them.

Ok ok ok. I am REALLY bored at work, which is why this thread is getting so much of my attention :P

You're not getting it. There are more people on the server than there is content for everyone to do everything they want all the time.

The biggest kids on the playground don't want to share the basketball court with you.

Two options.

1) Join one of the teams
2) Try to get in some play time when they're distracted (killing something else) or taking a break (eating a banhammer sammich)

Yes, they will beat you on racing most of the time.

No, they won't let you play with their toys.

y u no speaka ingrish?!

What you need to understand is that any time a rule set has changed, the hardcore guilds are naturally quicker to learn and eventually perfect what is needed to secure and kill the mobs.

When Velious dropped the C/R/FFA cycles ended and hardcore guilds were free to go to town on whatever. The smaller guilds didn't bother with the end game stuff because it was an absurd amount of work to go in to the deep end already full of sharks and most likely come away empty handed.

Then the tactics escalated and smaller rules were implemented. Bigger guilds figured out how to snap pull dragons accross zones and things like that, and smaller guilds fell further behind while also shaking their heads at the whole thing.

Finally after the smaller guilds had had enough of the nonsense, Sirken stepped in and changed the rules to level the playing field dramatically, by putting in the racing rules and implementing a 1 hour lockout and made it so guilds could only be engaged in one target at a time. Before this if Aftermath or Awakened was getting ready to pull Koi and Tormax popped, a single guild could split forces and kill both at the same time. This was actually pretty common.

But even with the rules having just changed to allow everybody to figure out the racing mechanics at the same time, the hardcore guilds neckbearded harder and the smaller guilds were again deterred by the learning curve relative to the amount of work required, and the hardcore guilds have stayed mostly uncontested from any smaller guilds on race mobs.

There is a theme here. Unless there is an enforced rotation, the hardcore guilds will likely figure out the mechanics and kill just about everything and the smaller guilds will remain annoyed by the neck bearding.

This usually leads to two different types of posts in pleas towards the server staff and hardcore players...

1. Enforce a rotation, change variance, repop bonanza, etc.
2. Beg the hardcore guilds to care less. (Not going to happen)

I miss your extremely heavy breathing over TS, Fast. For real, I'd get that checked out.

OP your guild sucks. Go to a better one and you will see the end game.

Even CSG kill things these days... Sirken made the server far more casual then it has ever been... if even after those changes your guild cannot get FTE... go to a better one.

If you want it to be even more casual and enforce a rotation like Legday is saying... go Phinny or some other enforced rotation server... Atleast you have a choice on where to go. If p99 becomes enforced rotation there wont be anything different then any of those other welfare easy pixels Quest emulators out there.

What you are trying to say in way too many words is: Please enforce a rotation.

Edit: And also that all guilds should be equal. They shouldn't be. Hardcore isn't for everyone nor is casual. If you aren't happy in your casual guild then look elsewhere.

So it does not matter how far your guild has come. Endless farming of Planes and endless farming of HoT to gear everyone up, ready for the next challenge in bosses to test your guild and get that first kill achievement. If you do not have Usain Bolt in your guild to win races. Then your content ends there. And forever labelled "Casual Guild". I use to think a Guilds Status was based on what they could kill and NOT what races they could win.
