BDA to Phinigel - Page 559

BDA has always had friendly people, great culture and casual attitude while respecting all rules. The only criticism I have is not adopting DKP after raid targets started dying by the truckload. Loot council was great when we only got one or two high priority targets per week, but it led to too many hurt feelings and time wasted in late Velious and Luclin. If you're tracking attendance, you need some sort of point system, BDA loot council is slow as shit.

Sparked DKP debate to get us to 600. See you soon boys

To get DKP you must kill dragons

Obviously DKP wasnt the answer for BDA

Like I said a few pages ago there's a lot of good folks in BDA and people I still keep in touch with semi regularly. Loot council is by far the biggest issue and one that the leadership is extremely stubborn about. Threads were made to discuss changes to the loot system all the time and 99% of the time the thread was locked/deleted within an hour or two (Typically when Chest checked the forums). I was one of the few vocal voices against loot council especially after the switch to Phinny. Whether Chest or anyone else believes it or not I did receive quite a lot of tells from random BDA members when I was still in BDA and pushing for us to change how we did loot. There are a LOT of BDA members that disliked it almost as much as I did but were never vocal about it. I think a lot of them just quit playing. A few went to different guilds. I'm sure there's still a good portion of active BDA members that would prefer something else. But Chest is Chest so what the members want doesn't matter too much. As we were so often reminded by dear leader "This isn't a democracy it's a dictatorship"

Inb4 certain BDA members accuse me of lying about people sending me tells that they hated loot council. It happened and it happened often. You can believe me or you can believe BDA propaganda. Your choice.

Only half a wall of text; glad to see you're at least coping now.

At this point I wouldn't blame Chest or the loot council inner circle. I can't be bothered by people who won't help themselves. They know what they are into. That's great they sent you tells about it, but if they don't want to do anything about it then it's on them. There are a dozen other options for them at this point to choose from, just like you did. Whether they choose to or not is their problem.
