You sincerely expect anyone to believe that given the choice between 1) kill zlexak, and give riot an equal chance to contest you on vulak, or 2) leave zlexak in place until riot was disadvantaged compared to you (or disqualified entirely), that AG/F would choose the former?

lol sure thing.

So if you have to kill a noble creature to attain abashis, does this make you evil?

Is this the same blocker that was at 50% before riot got trained? I mean if you want blockers dead, then don't kill the guilds killing them.

100%

I would never even entertain the idea because that isn’t fun. I can see leaving it up until prime time EST if it pops really late so that everyone is at an advantage, but not some 9AM ridiculousness. It’s a lose lose proposition unless all you care about is pure pixels. Killing Vulak without proper competition is unrewarding and if you somehow lose after having a huge advantage you just deflate your guild’s morale. We saw how they played out with Riot.

So I'm torn with this post.

On one hand; I completely agree with you in that it isn't fun sitting around with a blocker up...

On the other hand I have historical evidence: On numerous occasions when the final blocker spawned (Lady N, Jorll, Trips) FRAG and Riot were at a stand-still for literal hours trying to identify the best way to handle the Vulak Blocker. There is one unique case in that FRAG was killing Lady N for approximately 1+ hours consistently, holding Lady N at around 5-10% while they worked out a plan for Vulak.

So your argument is sound; it isn't fun. But the "We would never do this", historically, is entirely inaccurate.

4-6 hour contested vulak raids with blockers is brutal.

Playing smart throughout the cycle should bring an advantage, so don't screw up and get to a point where you have to concede mobs.

All guilds have messed up at some point or another and lost an advantage.
It sucks, but forces us all (Regardless of you guild tag) to try and play better.
