....We ( cant speak for Aftermath tho but I assume this sentiment is true) rarely care and most the time are happy when other guilds are killing shit/contesting. It would be foolish to scare people away because thats what keeps things fresh and fun.
I will say its much easier to live in fear and keep your guns clutched to your chest then step out and try some of this stuff.

Addressing the second part of this quote. Your totally right, it's easy to be scared and negative and stay in that mentality.
However, that being said. Fear should not be people's default mindset. And on P99, when it comes to raiding, it seems like it is for a lot of people. So many times I've tracked a mob, gotten a window, and all my friends and guildies respond with something along the lines of; "We will never get it, it's permacamped, A/A will just take it from us." etc. People are so convinced that it's pointless after seeing everything that goes down here with raid petitions and foot races, and lawyerquesting with fraps, that they don't even want to try for fear of losing through no fault of there own.
And if you really do want other people out there and contesting/racing in ToV, why not do more things like this weekend. (Not getting banned) but maybe picking four targets and A/A makes a commitment to only go for them and leave everything else up for one spawn cycle. Allowing the other guilds to have a weekend like this last one once a month or so.
This weekend was special because it removed that fear for a lot of players. Instead of the default mindset being "it's pointless, we won't get it." It became one of "Let's do this! Now is our chance!" And my guild had a lot of fun, and learned a lot. Fighting dragons was a pretty new experience for the majority of my guilds members. And boy did they learn some things about dragon fear and magic resists. And sure, it was a struggle, and we wiped several times. But in the end, our meager little, un disciplined crew, had 4 dragon notches on our belt. And that is awesome and was a lot of fun. So a big thank you to everyone that was a part of making this happen.
