But Pala, it all turns to coth races; and in a coth fte race, its all equal m8.

The only time you lose out is when you have to coth your whole raid force in. For AM, a whole raid force for trak is 10-11 ppl. For Anonymous that's 30+. So when you can coth an FTE, and pull a mob...its level playing fields.

So the casuals gain:
Every single mob in ToV.

The casuals lose:
Trak, CT, VS, Vox.

No change:
AoW, Yeli, KT, arguably Dain, gore, sev, fay, tal, golems, draco.

And in VP, there's some super fun proper competition that AM will likely win at through shear attrition and numbers alone but again, given friendly spawn time and right people on, it's anyone's game there.

All this scaremongering about 'AMgonnastealallyourpixels' outside of ToV is exactly that, its shirtfronting by a few noisy AM folks who are pretty hurt and confused by this change that absolutely destroys the way of planning and building their guild. Their MO has focused on for 6 years now on the same thing... throw more bodies at it.

I don't think anyone's mentioned just how good AM are at ToV though, they'll knock out all their shit in a few hours. It'll take <kittens who say Aegis Guard>a full day or three to kill most of their shit. So it aint all terrible for AM.

I mean it's what EQ always was, high end zones were dominated by the top guilds. Some progressed faster through hardcore raiding to finish an expansion's content before another one came out. Some others played casually. That's how it was.

P99 is locked into velious, what kept it alive for 200 300 people was the competitive raiding scene, exploring mechanics to their fullest and mastering the game through raid stunts.

This will be gone for the biggest zone of the expansion we are locked in. It is disappoiting considering AG/BG/Core are gearing up real good to be serious competitors.

This rotation kills the spirit that p99 offered for the last 9 years. I can't remember when such a bad decision was taken. You have to go back to Amelinda, and that's saying a lot lol.
