The UN shit had the big guilds crying because they didn't want to track their own books. It was easy for them to just devote minimal effort and pick up a free book every 10 hours on their rogues with the best SSD load times. Smaller guilds who want their rogues to get their epics are willing to track the book themselves, not share the info, and actually compete for it, which ST got mad about.

I'm sure ST wants to devote as many resources to their 70th MQ as a rogue who actually wants an epic for their main.
Super inaccurate. Wasn’t about tracking books, that’s easy as pie. The concern was the current rules allow for zone in to occur within the same second as Book spawn by definition, which leads to the obvious outcome of conflict over whether people zoned in first or whether the book spawned first, which in turn requires rigorous log keeping, OBS recording, and elf litigation. Roll system successfully avoided all of that, literally 0 petitions filed for those working within the agreement, which was the goal. It was a very good agreement that served its purpose without issue or conflict. The current system seems... less likely for that to continue.

Exactly now you just need the timer of when it was picked up. Add 10 hours, less the time it takes to cast the port spell and add back a second or two for load time and server tick and you should be in zone the moment book spawns. If not well grab the book and wait for the petitions.

Remember on Blue when the book was bugged and respawned like every 5 minutes? Those were the days.

Hey this happened today! But not by a fella trying to fuck the system, just a fella who wasn’t aware of the rules. He is suspended now. Probably not the ideal strat.
So Savage, the second guild to back out of the agreement after Castle, and the only other one that would have been able to skip the rolling to port up, parks a rogue at the book (which also would have required help and accomplices to port them up) to pick it up the second it spawns, and we're expected to believe it was just a misunderstanding after it was explicitly emphasized by Blistig that you had to zone out first after it popped?

Probably. When video proof of Castle members boxing and AFK camp in was posted his response was “I asked my guildies and they said they weren’t doing that” lmao

i think its cute that people in castle assume big guilds are just corpsing books instead of turning them into epics for their legions of rogues

No. I did not simply take my guildmates' word for it. The burden of proof rests with the accuser. That thirty-second video of a mage pet killing a mob was not proof of boxing nor AFK camping. He had reported those two to GMs and the GMs did not ban them. Furthermore, they both ended up joining Seal Team and I have not heard from them since. Please stop repeating this slander.
