Outsider's perspective:
I always chortle when people look down their noses at a guild for insufficient relative skill in pooping in socks.
Is BDA incapable of killing mobs or are they just less capable of fielding a raid-capable force 24/7 or hell even 12/7?
Incapable of killing mobs or just less capable of killing mobs with a bunch of neckbeards stalking and skulking vulture style for the slightest of slip-ups?
To be honest, a guild that gets fewer kills due to not being competitive for >80% of the available HOURS p99 is online doesn't imply failure ... it actually implies a greater degree of success in RL.
So yeah, my outsider's perspective is that the most competitive raiding forces on this server are only the most successful for one of two (or both) reasons:
1) higher number of available total players
2) willingness of said raiding playerbase to fuck themselves in RL for pixels on an old emulated game.
Raiding on p99 has nothing to do with skill, only willingness to sacrifice your fucking life for a video game.
For the record: I'm not in BDA, the FAT alliance, Rampage, or any raid-competitive guild. There was a time when I raided 20-40 hours a week on live and was cutting edge ... but then I grew the fuck up.

eh, anytime you play a video game you are sacrificing your life to play it so you kind of just sound like a nerd calling other people nerds and its a pretty dumb argument. you people have some strange ideas about how raiders operate. its not about poopsocking for 12 hours at a time its about having the people in the guild to be commited to being competitive with FTE's. im not a big raider but i ended up in forsaken since i was guildless and got an offer, and the only difference ive seen between it and casual guilds are the ammount of people who are actively working towards the raid goals. people take shifts. when people have to park a character for a raid target they just play an alt. theres hardly any difference from soloing for an hour or two and tracking/fte watching for an hour or two. its more about having the right set of people that actually cares about raiding and wants to put in the effort, not about the lack of lives.
you just sound plain fucking dumb when you critisize other people for playing this game with different goals, just because you think your leveling or whatever you waste your life on is just so much more acceptable.
