Maz,
I dont want to go back and forth with you in the raid discussion.
We have essentially just slung poo at each of our guilds and it looks very bad. Taken has been blamed for the current FFA problems ( hilighted by your post ) and yes I am sorry but TMO was the first guild to escalate the re-newed socking.
You refer to it as 'keeping players around to buff' which my guild also did but we would camp those toons out because we feared having more than the 2 trackers in the zone would DQ us. TMO kept people at the zone lines and would basically 'dare' others to prove they were in the wrong. That is a 100% fact. Even Jeremy was refusing to move from his favorite afk KC spot. Heallun spoke his mind and it hilighted the mindset of TMO members regardless it being a RnF post, many shared his same viewpoint about the legitimacy of TMO hangin out at the zone in with mobs in window.
I think its cute you say I was indifferent about the Tracker not FTEing thing when I agree'd with such a rule and not only that, Taken's own guild leader was the first to post such a ruleset proposal here:

However continue to take credit for the idea.
I love that you and IB enjoy your racing in VP, that is great but just because you guys came to an agreement in 20 min does not mean that the rest of the server for 'not agreeing' to a race with you guys are in the wrong.
My post is not only not solving anything but not constructive.
I will say one last thing.
The horror of a Class R guild having it's members band together for a specific goal ( FFA VS ) and putting in effort that is well within the current ruleset. Shame on Taken for letting it's guild members know via text that we were all hanging out in KC and if they were interested in joining to come sit.
It was not required at all, nor was it something forced upon anyone.
Class R rosters and make up are different than yours. Sometimes we have to go to more extreme measures to simply 'have a shot'. Kinda bad for yourself, someone who has killed Venril Sathir well over 200 times ( at least encountered him that much), to be talking down to my guild who has many members who not only never seen VS on P99 but certainly never experienced a FFA kill on him.
I am sorry our strategy worked out and I apologize to the rest of the raid discussion members/readers/moderators that such a pointlessly unproductive post had to be written in a good thread.
