This would be ideal but every time they do that it goes terribly wrong. Namely, every newb in zone getting fully geared out in LR.

The whole wasting hundreds of people's time like tonight ordeal is the worst possible scenario.

2 clever people got items (kudos) and a high end guild got a couple after poopsocking hate. I speak objectively when I say that is just poor form.

Socking? How do you figure? Our guy found Inny in Blackburrow (props to Cephalic's baby Druid) and when he said he was going back to Hate we ported up. He wasn't there so our raid force went down to Kith and finished a General run we were on. Right as the general died the next broadcast went out of him being up in Hate and we were first on the scene after Full Circle got eaten by the millions of drakes.

You guys make your own fun in global OOC chat though, that's part and parcel of being an isolated minority...perhaps if red had a healthy population they'd get an event.

I'm sure I could write a nice storyline if someone wants to make me a guest GM :D

Thanks to the staff for the fun ! Im sure there would have been more if not for the silly shenanigans that went on in Hate.

Thanks all who participated in last nights event. It was definitely fun for the staff, and hopefully fun for you as well.

To those who feel unfairly treated, robbed of loot, or betrayed by staff or other guilds: Please remember, it was a GM event. Things were different.

We hope you take it as a fun experience, and not something that sets a precedent for future raid rulings. The normal rules didn't apply because the normal scenario was not in play in Hate.

The event was fair to all involved, and staff would like to continue doing these in the future.

Thanks again to all involved. Hope you had fun.

It's cool that the staff put some effort into an event at all, but that aside... the event depressed me, for sure.

It was just a Halloween-themed extra loot/fun night for the hardcore raiding guilds, who had a ton of people on to even know the event was starting, who could quickly notify more guildies to get on to join in the event, who are most accustomed to mobilizing and raiding, who know how to cockblock second-tier guilds pre-planned planar raids by training all of fear around during the event, etc.

Casual players? They got to try to wtb their banded and wts their hq bear skins while scarecrows.


Fair's dictionary definition is "free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice."

Injustice's dictionary defintion is "inequity."

You're saying that this event treated all parties involved equally?

That's like saying that "the system" treats inner-city black kids and white suburban kids equally.

Ugh I ran by that island en route to Kurns because I thought he'd be there, then few minutes later saw you got the title haha. So close! Congrats =)

There were also 2 hide-and-seek style events in zones accessible to all players.

Doesn't matter what you do, someone is going to cry about it. You could have made it rain plat and guises and still someone would cry.

Good job for doing something, that's all I wanted to see was an event no matter the size or scope.

Thank You
