Praise Tunare

Can't be pulled to zone in lol

Awakened open PoG raid was resounding success beyond all expectations. Great fun at time, provided neat loots for all, taught open raiders magic of proper charm group, and continues to provide funs many months later courtesy of bitterposting saltmans who just regret not coming. :o

Big ups to Kelz for doing lion's share of difficult coordination work. A+, would help host again!

Open raid. You all keep using that word.

The saltposting that came in the wake of this event, and apparently continues to this day, is the best part lol.

The open POG raid last year by Awakened was a lot of fun

The premise of the open raid was to let plebs do the boring grind of a PoG clear because most Awakened members only log on for Tunare. Anyone who claims otherwise is naïve.

Of course clearing faster was part of premise. Doesn't mean we didn't sincerely intend for people to have fun and get nice loots -- both can be true. Only bittervet would believe was entirely some nefarious scheme hatched in smoky back room, and only crazy bittervet would maintain belief in spite of reports our open PoG raid was quite fun from "naive" non-Awakened participants.

Bittervets. Bittervets never change. :o

The 'Braid of Golden Hair' goes for less than 200 DKP in Aftermath (less than a vindi breastplate), and Tunare loot was mains only in Awakened. Had it been a better item, Awakened would not have allowed open roll.

PoG clears often get half the numbers you'll see compared to the actual Tunare fight, so yes Awakened obviously did it so the normies clear Growth for them.

But what do I know

The whole thing should never have happened as Aw couldn't qualify for the Tunare rotation anyway.

Nobody is lying except you. but mission accomplished you shoo'd away most of the server that you didnt like by announcing tunare loot wasn't going to be randomed and decided right before tunare after hours of clearing that the pawns you used can roll on one item. Plain and simple facts, the thread said tunare loot was awakened only, changing it after the open raid STARTED does not void the original intent.

It's like inviting people to your birthday party but saying they can't have any birthday cake. Then when only 3 out of the 30 people you invited show up you say "fuck it you can have some cake".
