Participation trophy people got in guide gm spots and said anyone who can think for themselves is bad. So everyone now must conform to mask fitting and hormone replacement therapy and can only log in typing with their two pointy fingers

it's probably the 10,000 unique logins a day on The Hero's Journey

They reinvented EQ and this version actually doesn't suck!

it was doing pretty ok until Quarm came along and offered ezmode participation trophie Everquest, then THJ dropped the double deuce godmode + krono-lite (lawsuit pending) and that's pretty much that.

Freedom merging with Azure Guard ruined the Freedom v Riot thing back last era

which was a direct result of rooted dragons

with the exception of venice and a couple others AG was basically an army of wall-lickers

Haven't been paying much attention to the raid scene recently. Did KWSM and Riot completely merge? So there's basically just 1 raid guild now? lol

seems so

guess theres no need for drafts / bag limits / rooted dragons anymore

just let the pixel-sick fire up the conveyor again and pull dragons to entrance

sweet, now i can lose epic quest pieces to even more people gearing their 10th raid alt, cause 9 epics isn't quite enough.

Now is the perfect time for proper bag limits.

10mobs per week maximum per guild.

Snapshot the current rosters, and lifetime ban anyone trying to circumvent it within 12 months by making splinter guilds etc.

Unroot Dragons. Then small guilds can compete with larger guilds. Don't need large player counts to crawl ToV.

You'd see new guilds splinter off so you don't need to spend 6000 DKP on Vulak Loot.

Why are dragons rooted anyway? What did players do to get them rooted?

If they're unrooting the dragons can we have the original seafury cyclops loot table back? Thanks.

they set up their raids at ToV zone in and were training all the adds away while someone else pulled the bosses to zone

This allowed more guilds to compete. You'd see 4 or 5 guilds in ToV competing for a dragon pop before rooted dragons. Something like Aftermath, the newly formed Riot, Azure Guard (pre-merge) and Kittens (pre-merge). Two top raiding guilds and two casual guilds competing in a way all four of them could win at.

After push interrupt got nerfed and dragons were rooted, you needed more players to crawl ToV. This basically killed the ability for Azure Guard, Kittens, or an alliance of smaller guilds to compete. It forced the server into a meta where you had to be in one of the two big raiding guilds to get the good content. Otherwise you had to be content with scraps and sky raids.

Kittens competed all the time in ToV in the rooted dragons meta what are you even talking about lol

This. People know how to crawl ToV quite well now. It isn't any more challenging than pulling to ToV entrance. You just need more people to crawl ToV.

The competition between multiple guilds trying to get the dragon was the real challenge, not the mechanics of the encounter itself. People have had 10+ years to master the mechanics of the encounter.

The Green Title Syndicate thought rooting the dragons would slow down lawyerquest, they were wrong.

THJ is popping off right now. It will slow down like every emulator server that keeps going when it tries to tackle GoD, barring some miracle, but for a few months of PoP it's gonna be riding high.

All true. One moves on. I go to hospitals dressed as a nurse and see how deep into their system I can get before I get caught. Last week I assisted on a colonoscopy, and the doctor knew the dude from college. He was under sedation but damn. Old grudges die hard I guess.

Because anytime on live that people found tricks like that to skip content, trivialize things, etc. things got changed or strats were otherwise banned

Now, you can argue things are trivialized now with everyone twinked to the gills on a mudflated server, but that's a totally separate and unrelated issue.
