At least Alarti argues the actual substance of things sometimes.

Maybe a second time will sledgehammer this idea through your skull: your guild is only in the position it is in owing to huge variance, and this is not classic. TR, TMO, FE/IB, and in the future any guilds willing to invest the time tracking are the ones receiving vastly more raid mobs than they would in a truly classic world. ergo, you are the ones receiving the handouts. It's exactly like the Great Depression when Roosevelt hired people to dig ditches and other people to fill them in: Rogean created a huge amount of unnecessary work and then rewarded the people that toed his line.
Ehhh this isnt correct. While I agree we structured our guild around variance.... if no variance ever existed it is impossible to predict how the raid scene would have turned out.
Without variance we would have structures ourselves differently, as would competition and new problems would exist. So basically you should put that sledge down and start fine-tuning your thoughts [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
