Don't let a dark past ruin a bright future

There are a lot of really fun people to play EQ with in Aftermath. As a warrior, raid guilds can be really autistic about their tank power dynamics. BDA was really awful about that. So I was very very pleased to find out how welcoming and inclusive the warrior crew of Aftermath was, particularly Wooliez and Aikons, and Detoxx as well when he was around.

People were quick to give me useful advice and I legitimately enjoyed most of the guild banter during raids and idle chatter.

Yes, there were 5-10% fully autistic pixel addicted retards who got upset when I teased them, but I promise you will find that in any guild.

On the topic of leadership, Detoxx probably only was at 20% of the raids. He has done a good job giving power to ppl who can run shit so he's not around all the time.

Recently, I have heard forum rumors that the once admirable Erati of Awakened has turned into a true pixellord scumbag and is no longer the cool, normal pal we once knew. Likewise, Awakened has Henrique, and it's a lot more fun to trigger him by being part of AM than to read his posts as part of Awakened.

If I raided again, I'd go back to AM. Fortunately, I am past that stage of my life :-)

Now i'm just addicted to Post Quick Reply

Thats not fair!

Been around 50% for a long time, cant play like I used to!

In all seriousness though, both guilds are almost identical policy wise and want to achieve the same goal.

Consider how retarded Taken was.

A/A are obviously top dogs. Last month while they were on suspension however, I was very impressed by Paradigm Shift. I vowed to never join a loot council guild after BDA, but from what I've heard about them, a lot of their members are happy with the leadership and are very active raiding. At least consider it before throwing your chips in for am or aw, that's my suggestion.

Thanks for the shout out! I may be biased but I’d give a +1 for PS. We are quite active; we have something going on nearly every night, all our players are adults (although I act like an idiot to keep things fresh) , and our players know how to play the game and their classes. It really is refreshing to do raids in a low pressure, have fun but get stuff done atmosphere. It’s really the only kind of guild environment that would keep me logging in. /who all paradigm if you’re curious at all. Can talk to me or anyone else.

Also since this is rants and flames may I just add that everyone on this
Thread has a significant other, mother or sister whose lady parts resemble the end result of a hand grenade going off inside a pastrami sandwich.

I am not too proud to acknowledge that this is sold advice and I embrace the constructive criticism. I am always looking for opportunities to be better even if they are in the darkest corners of a lizard murder simulator forum.

Both A/A have very similar loot policies/DKP system.

I think Aftermath gives you a little more flexibility in gearing out alts, Awakened gives a little more protection to mains looking for best in slot items. Not sure though, both guilds are constantly reviewing and revising their policies.
