I'm glad to be part of the server underdogs who continue to serve as the unifying force on the server. We're single-handedly removing the cancerous toxicity from the raid scene and encouraging players to seek solutions by working together.

Not long ago, it was AM who were the zerg bullies of the server "denying their enemies pixels".

Fake news. Prior to <Riot Guard> it was <Tempest> that was the #1 raiding guild on the server.

I don't remember seeing them raiding much but I remember reading about their success and strong moral compasses on the forums a lot.

Where'd that guild bank go?

My moral compass always points towards you, Monrezz. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Can you get any more insufferable?

Pretty sure Bellringer bought a new cat with it.

This isn't even his final form.

Vast majority of AM are really cool, nice and down to earth people. However, I feel the 1% of douchebags like Hotel that have constantly made globo gym posts about how they are better than you have hurt their reputation. It hasn’t really mattered because they have been good enough to stay on top and continue to pick up all the fair-weather raiders. I worry however that if the weather stays bad at AM the ship could start sinking fast as the fair weather raiders jump ship.

Do you really think this will maintain itself though?

If we assume 100 players average, 2 hours per clear (maybe it's much faster with 200 players blowing everything up?), and a 50% chance of success you are talking 400 man hours per pixel dragon kill. Even at minimum wage, that's $6000 of opportunity cost! And most of these loots are pretty mediocre.

In comparison, the previous system required 60 people (not really, of course) for 20 minutes plus say 4 pullers for 8 hours. Throwing in the same 50% chance of success and that sums up to 100 man hours.

So the time per pixel has gone up by 400%, and people have to vaguely pay attention now rather than just sneaking on for 15 minutes and then going back to their job/family while the 30 most dedicated/unemployed (depending on your viewpoint) nerds did most of the 'work' while watching Netflix.

I just don't see how this is sustainable.

Many would have said even the former meta wasn't sustainable, and yet it was

I suppose I would have to put more nuanced thoughts into erotic story format

Idk, Monrezz and I are buddies so this was just a thinly veiled joke. Pretty sure if you asked he certainly wasn’t offended. Hell, I was discord messaging him as I posted it.
