Why does empire promote ignorance ?

[Cherry23]

Put simply, I am sick and tired of some particular empire members spamming ooc chat, ranting about how they are the best player or players on the server, linking leaderboard records for up to a year ago, the same item they received from their guild over and over.. Challenging anyone to a duel but not actually duelling them...

When anyone speaks up about it they are attacked by other members who are friends with the people talking ignorantly in ooc...

My questions are to the leadership of empire,

Do you not discipline your members for aggravating other people on the server ? Do you think their behaviour is acceptable and does not require any action taken ? Do you think they promote server health or discourage it ?

I remember on live such behaviour time and time again would result in guild suspensions and eventually removals indefinitely for the betterment of the guild and server as a whole...

Why do people like gong show take the time to post articles about how their 2hb weapon is not procing correctly but turn a blind eye to such activities going on and on unchecked ?

I may be wrong but last time I checked a guild leader had responsibilities to the guild and server and to its members to grow and strengthen and flourish in the community and praise and Punish those that deserved as such...

Honestly I didn't care what people said about empire coming here from live I set out to find out myself.. Worst guild leadership I've ever seen and extremely toxic members that chase people away with their ignorance and annoyances.

Not sure why the core of empire does not disband and remake and elect new officers... Not like you guys need strats on a 15 year old game.. Maybe then you would have a guild leader with a spine and some balls to promote server health

Is this a serious question? If youre playing on this server I'm assuming youre not new to everquest, and if you've been playing for any amount of time and havent figured out how raiding guilds work you're incredibly dense. Raiding is about numbers. You only need a few competent people to corral all the retards to get shit done in EQ. That isnt to say the rest of the people arent important, they just play a small enough role in encounters that a toddler with developed motor functions could stand in for them if necessary.

The important thing for raiding guilds is having the numbers. It doesnt matter how good you are, you're not downing end game mobs with a couple groups. So once you have a base of decent players you just have to mass recruit to round out the roster. It doesnt matter how smart or good the players are, just that they show up and perform the simple task assigned to them (e.g. turn on auto attack, click heal, etc).

This is not a new or unique phenomenon. Empire has some great players, but out of necessity they have some morans as well. If you're not willing to put up with idiots you're never going to kill end game content, because creating a raiding guild that consists of only decent people is about as realistic as your high school english teacher finally getting that novel they've been working on published.

Empire leadership has actually done a pretty impressive job keeping all their members from starting internal drama as far as I can tell. The pixel pinata probably helps, but keeping a roster of 200 people from cannibalizing each other isnt a simple task. The job of guild leadership is the keep the guild functioning, not enriching the game experience of some rando who happens to play on the same server.

So in particular they NEED these 2 or 3 toxic members in order for the other 200 not to fall apart ? I doubt that... And I'm sure they could discipline those members for their actions instead of letting them spit, fart, piss, shit and jizz all over OOC chat...

[fandAONgo]

They discipline me with the very best items in the game

no Cherry, i deleted my entire response... you missed the point completely

Consider them the first stage of the app process. If you cant tolerate them in /ooc then you will never survive being guilded with them.

He is listening to the voices in his head again. This boy needs to be meedicated.

He also has that handlebar mustache that he twists while hes talking in ooc. See he is envisioning tying bert to railroad tracks every time he has to stop talking in ooc while bert links his gear over and over again.


ugh drawing a blank is it bert or burt.

[Jahdu]

Was looking at the leaderboard and checked out the OOC on one of the kills. Saw Fandango boasting about how he's killed the most dragons blah blah blah.

So the majority of the server enjoys listening to you in ooc ?
Honestly if that's the case then I am going to put you on ignore, but it would be confusing because for an example last night I saw many people asking you to shut up in ooc chat and I wouldn't know what they were talking about other than to assume you were just being ignorant again. Displaying conceit, vanity visions of grandeur babbling on and on and spamming your previous commas over and over as to smother us with your views and opinions.

You may be loved in your guild And team speak.
But please do not project yourself into those that do not feel the same and force yourself onto us in ooc chat.
It is there for everyone to enjoy and mingle, And that's why I have not applied to join empire on my cleric.

I have NTOV items on 4 of my characterts, two of them are not even level 60. Im way better than you at this game (look at my gear) and better than anyone else in your guild

Too much like that tv show the '700 Club' that used to come on tv when I was younger there Fandango. Was that the guy that went to jail for a really long time for fraud? Is your fan club a cult? Are you going to drink the Kool-Aid with them?

Playing EQ with (other) not-so great players has its advantages.

Quite a bit ago i went out on friday, and when i returned somewhere around 2.30, i decided it would be a great time to drink some more and raid.

I died about 20 times in 50 minutes from falling chardok, over and over. Noone complained, it wasn't even noticed. Each time i was dragged up and clicked.

Pras r99 and its kind and forgiving community. It was a one time thing tho.

Before the next i guess.

You must be new. People that spam ooc are trolling people like slathar who did that in kunark, and are now scrub status. Basically its a huge troll to rile up the tryhards that spend 12 hours a day on the box and have nothing to show for it. /ignore fandango if you dont like it. Hes actually kinda funny, especially when you realize its a joke.

[Mingo]

@ OP. Fandango is a funny guy. You're missing the humor as you are a victim of his troll. This isn't an Empire issue, it's not even a community issue, this is an internet issue.

The ignore function or possibly filtering out OOC altogether might greatly improve your experience if you choose to continue to play here.

[Tassador]

Or maybe you have slightly grown up Peter Pan ass mother fucker and realize it's just a video game to pass some time not a commitment.

[Seltius]

I like the fact that I get to interact with others. It is a lot of fun if I wanted to do things by myself id play Oblivion or Dying Light. Sure some of Fandango's antics are less than amusing but for the most part you can tell its a troll nothing to take seriously. I like it because normally it isn't some of the more vulgar, disgusting, and questionable things that are said in /ooc.

The banter between people can be funny and even the griefing occasionally is interesting to read.

You have to take it as a game where you have a lot of different personalities from a lot of different demographic or geographic locals so you're going to hear and read things that you may not like or find questionable but that might be perfectly normal elsewhere.(not referring to the things that sound like they are coming from a 12 who thinks he's witty. Though I am sure we have some of those)

Sorry my posts are always pretty long winded. In short you get all types try to find the amusement in what you can and ignore what you cant.

My questions are to the leadership of empire,

Do you not discipline your members for aggravating other people on the server ? Do you think their behaviour is acceptable and does not require any action taken ? Do you think they promote server health or discourage it ?

I remember on live such behaviour time and time again would result in guild suspensions and eventually removals indefinitely for the betterment of the guild and server as a whole...

Despite Empire's members trolling, people have continued to join. It seems there are a lot of players on this server who care more about the loot a guild can offer them than they do about the behavior of its members or the resulting image that guild has. If more people had standards and refused to join irresponsible guilds, only then would the leaders enforce standards on their members.

I applaud your choice not to join Empire. There are several other options on this server which can provide fun people to play with, fun PvE and PvP challenges to rest your skills against, and lots of item upgrades as well.

[Videri]

*test. Test your skills.
