I never said I am entitled to anything. If you worked hard to be ahead of the curve and then someone took all of that away I would think you would be disappointed. I have never said once that I should basically walk into the room and have things handed to me because I am 50. That's entitlement. But to take away IB's advantage because the guild earned that advantage is not fair. Trans or any guild could work hard to take that advantage away.

Oh, it's happened before. I remember distinctly being at least 8 levels above any other cleric on the server (besides Almeda). Then "SolA" happened. And poof there was suddenly a surge of levels 50s, who celebrated by zoning into Lower Guk for the first time. The SolA ZEM was lolbad, and the 'fix' for it was to crank up the ZEM in every other dungeon to match the horribly distorted ZEM of SolA and turn this into EZ server. Now everyone is 50 and their allt is nearing 50 and everything is so darn trivialized that there is nothing *left* to do but whine and complain about raid encounters and GM interactions and whatever.

But don't step up to me and claim I don't know what it's like to be uber one day and watching powerlessly as others take an easy road to catch up.. Been there, and DONE THAT. And since a vast majority of this issue is based upon two guilds who artificially grabbed power via broken zones, broken mobs, whacked ZEMs, retardedly OP'd rogue dps/Pet Classes/Enchanter spells... Sped thru the majority of what made EQ enjoyable, and now get to scream at each other on a message board 24/7... welll..

That's your loss. I never joined this server in hopes that I could relive EQVault and rotations and infighting and pissing contests and the general douchebaggery that happens on this server. I understand 100% what Nilbog is saying about how he doesn't even want to play here. We've taken a flame thrower to the Garden of Eden and are now fighting over table scraps.

I mean it's like football during the season. If a team is good at the game and beats the other teams they have an advantage. It's like Wenai wiped away all our hard work during the season and put the playoffs on rotation.

In football the two teams actually play each other, this is more like fantasy football since it's all comparisons and stats. But I get where you are coming from, believe me I do. We never even got a central figure to hate on for the SolA/Zem disaster, which is probably where a bunch of the animosity toward Xzerion (unfairly) came from, since he benefitted from it.

Of course you guys want to distort things. Of course you guys want to remain silent on this rotation issue. You get want you want this way and get to stick the knife into the players of IB at the same time for being the top guild. It puts you guys in the position to then be the top guild yourselves.

I'm not interested in distorting anything. Ask anyone from your guild or mine. I don't even play much anymore, and I certainly don't have the chunks of time to raid. Ask Jify or Wonton or Karsten or Blaine or tons of others in your crew, i'm about as neutral a voice as you are going to hear, since those not involved simply don't care.

Don't assume you know what *I* want, I've always been on record for calling this Beta 2 and doing complete wipes to start all over again. The only real joy in this game is the grind and carrot in front of you while you struggle. Not so much the grind, but the people and the friendships you make along the way. The adventures, the close calls, the tradeskilling. If there's one thing i didn't miss from EQ circa 1999, it was all this bickering and nonsense over raids and planes that drop gear that's 99% obsolete come Kunark anyways.

I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of happiness and the resolution of these issues. I just worry that no matter what happens, nothing is going to make the majority of you miserable fuckers happy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
