Morgander: Can't TMO just share?

TMO would still get the best targets every time and leave the ones that most guilds can't tackle with ample time up. It's been done before and it works extremely well on this server.

Morgander: Can't TMO just share?

This person should know this, and probably does, but either forgot or has bumped his head.

This person is someone that has no clue
the logical reasons have already been told, by the staff. You cannot see it because you did not look.

Morgander: Can't all guilds just share?
There's an interesting philosophical idea I've proposed to people in the past. Consider the following:

You've a room with only 10 people. 1 person, has enough food to last a million people a lifetime. 5 others have enough combined food to never worry about going hungry, 3 occasionally go hungry, but they won't starve to death, while the last, poorest 2 will die or starvation should nobody help them.

Now imagine if you will, that the wealthiest individual refuses to share his wealth (food) with any of the others.

Now leave anything else aside, and virtually every single person I've ever come across when asked how they feel about these people, universally agree that the only basis they have for scrutinizing each individuals character, is that the richest individual is not only selfish, but completely immoral.

Now translate food into different gains; consider cash, net worth, or just enough gum to give everyone in the class a piece and still have plenty left for yourself. The same situation transpires to similar ends: It's wrong not to share.

Now I'm not trying to bash or single out any guild here. TMO crops up because TMO is indisputably the, "richest person in the room".

So this begs the dilemma which extends to TMO and beyond: Sharing.

If you came to me in game and asked me if you could be added to the waiting list for an item I've already 14 of when you've none, you'd probably find me giving up my spot so you could have a wack at it. Why?

Well, because it's just nice. Because it makes people smile. Because it's the right god-damned thing to do.

Never in my life have I ever heard of a better reason to do anything. Ever.
