But.. in all honesty. only one post in this entire thing made me really think. There are two other guilds that are just about ready to break in, so... what's the solution? I don't know why most of you joined EQ, but I actually thought most of you wanted to join a game where social interaction is suggested and people are playing together and working together, unlike some other mmorpg where all people do is solo to end game and then go ape**** whenever someone wipes a raid.
When I first started, people were going out of their way to help each other. People inspect each other and pass on what they could. It was a nice community, and then end-game happened. All of a sudden, people are attacking each other and the entire server's about who training who. I remember being in a group recently and someone tried to train me because I joined a group where one of the members trained them earlier. Albeit unsuccessful, it's just completely dumb, and it makes you a hypocrite. I won't even go into the 4 page paper that I got in tells to try to secure his point and justify how horrible my group member was as a human being because he ran to zone a few times and said some things. Who should I believe?... the group that contrinually tried to necro train me or the person he's complaining about, my RL cousin whom I've known to never even use words such as the ones he's quoted... but that's in the past.
Back to topic: We're about to have at least 5 guilds who are going to share 4 raid spots, maybe more. Is there really no better way to do this? Does each guild have to go into the week thinking that they must raid 4-5 days a week? Moreso, is it nearly impossible that in a scenario like this, where new raids and epic quests are starting to come out, that we can't all just rotate around? I understand that racing could be fun, but EVERYONE sees things through some weird colored glasses that somehow benefits only them; and everyone else is crap. guild(s) will completely ignore the pure facts and argue until their faces turn blue and all we end up getting is this: "I WAS HERE FIRST AND YOU KS-ED ME," "NO, I WAS HERE FIRST, I got 15 to your 14, look at my screenshot!" "No, this person died.." WHO CARES??
It really came down to one thing: someone's greedy. I've seen xp groups calling camps when the entire group is at ZI of a zone. It's the same deal. Everyone wants to win so badly that they completely forgot the idea of common courtesy. It starts with one group being completely unable to budge, and it snowfalls all the way to this. I guess this will continue to go on until the Developments/ etc. decided to "pick up the ball and go home."
