So what do your wives/ children say when you guys get up in the middle of the night to mobilize for the server's 63rd CT when the content is literally done progressing? What do you tell your boss when you're 30 minutes late to work because you were up till 4 AM dealing with petition quest? What do you tell yourself when you look into the mirror? "Heh, we beat those casual scum! WE showed them who was boss."

Actually, none of this happened because it would have required you to have a) a spouse, b) sex, c) a job, d) self-dignity. Try Phinny/ TAKP/ P02/ literally any other hobby than p99 today!

He most likely subscribes to grindr as it's much easier to get laid being a pos in the gay scene.

To the best of my knowledge, Awakened does not sock golems and the leadership does not condone doing so. If any of us actually do then they're fucking hypocrites and they need to stop because everyone bitches about FoH doing it.

Swap that for a rotation, Only 2 people are tracking for 32 hours invested man hours, but they are guaranteed a reward. The people who refuse to cooperate are imposing timesinks on everyone.

Not enough pixels per player? Then why are you playing here? I thought people like the scarcity of things? But I guess the appeal of scarcity is only when you're the one controlling that scarcity.

No one gives a shit about he hypothetical "time" you would lose because you have to compete. Spoken like a true puss.

I could be wrong, but wasn't BDA actually the guild who up'd the ante on poopsocking? I seem to remember FE and TMO being content with camping out on poop mtn and racing to log in/engage with minimal numbers. Then BDA decided to "Farm Juggs" and sit in the lair with like 100 players, which resulted in FE and TMO doing the same.

You guys don't seem to realize that part of the hard core mentality is maximizing loot while minimizing effort. Obviously the first takes priority, but almost all tactics used by guilds like A/A are designed to ensure they get the loot by doing just slightly more than the competition is able/willing to. Take ToV for example, on live crawling through that wing was a full day or multi-day evet, here it can be cleared in hours.

It makes sense that the only way smaller and less experienced guilds can compete is by upping the ante, but you can't really put the blame for sitting on spawns (bda) or coth ducking (taken) BS on the hard-core players, because they only adopted those tactics once their old, less demanding strategies quit working.

I guess my point is, its funny to see BDA people complain about player made time sinks when they actually started those trends in an attempt to compete with the larger and more organized guilds.
