Only on P99 does a guild bring 100 nerds to a Tunare Kill and then decide, naw we need to ally with several other guilds. 100 nerds isn’t enough to defeat Velious content after 3 years of gearing. We need 150+ to compete.

The rules were made and ended up as they are as a direct Reaction to crappy player behavioir. Of course this behavioir is still rampant here but you all reap what youve sown. If i were them all the repeat offender individual/ guilds would be long perma banned by now but i guess they just dont want to deal with the DDOS and they mostly remain. . .

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

P.S. By the way, I think a huge part of "the box" around everyone's thinking isn't R&N: it's the players. Whenever anyone suggests anything that isn't races, everyone in RnF dog piles on them.

Of course we'll never even manage to brainstorm a decent idea, let alone work out a functional system, in such an environment. We need threads where people throw out ideas, then other people riff off them and say "that's not bad, but what if we did ..."

As long as all we do is tear each others' ideas down seconds after they get proposed, we'll never get anything better here.

If you want to raid, join Riot. If you don't want to join Riot, play classic WoW and raid with your own guild on your own time, the way every other game in the world works.

Riot didn't spontaneously form. PS didn't want to zerg. Core didn't want to zerg. I can't speak for CSG. I was pushing for them to zerg though..I watched Venerates original leadership fail trying and get so frustrated they left for Agnar of all the god awful places (I miss the real Gogre). You can't just waltz up with your porridge bowl asking for more pixels. You must take it, to do so you gotta have the strength.

I have had guilds with members I really liked to hang out with die off because a few key members hopped ship to get their pixels. They couldn't do it any other way. Negotiations will net you 1 mob per cycle. One that has terrible loot as well. I have watched the guys in Riot setup an elaborate (for a game) system in order to get this. Frankly I would have laughed my ass off in era but that is the standard here. Make it or break it and I have been on both ends.

AFAIK no riot members have been dicking around in any other guilds forums, if so I can't vouch for that. AM is (what is left) our rival. The shit slinging has been between us and the random anons here on the forums that wanna jump in, they do so by their own choice in a subforum that has a warning on it. When AM dies and the loons head to WoW.. well who knows. Maybe there will not be a need for a zerg. I don't know what the future holds nor do I really care.

Two posts hating on new games and talking about how great old EQ used to be ...

... while (implicitly) defending a race system that never existed back in '99-0'01, and is entirely a new addition, added over a decade later.

Makes perfect sense.
