It's cowardice because it actively crushed every other guild on the server who wanted to compete by making the largest guild in server history.

That isn't cowardice though? Other words could be used, but not cowardice. The merging of two guilds, who have been on good terms for years, isn't antithetical to the social aspect of an old school MMO. But this is besides the point. CSR could simply reinstate the camp meta. And anyone posting here could bump the /guildwar bug forums thread. If non-PVP competition is desired, that option exists more so on green and can be expected to return if/when a new server is released.

It's cowardice because you did it as Gravity was growing and getting wins.

It was terrible for the health of the server, and the quick pop decline is proof of that.

There's a list of issues that have been terrible for the health of the server, placing a guild merger at or towards the top is a stretch.

The server's population has always fluctuated. The numbers have been lower in years past with players announcing it as the death knell, yet here we are, admittedly limping along but limping nevertheless.

You say competitive raiding has failed on EQ?

In part, it brought about the current state of the game.

Well then why don't you guys agree to split the loot evenly amongst the guilds?

Again, camp meta. But also, there is the draft. Back in my day, during Kunark, one guild got all of the targets, there were no quakes, and the draft was but a twinkle in every casual's eye.

If you disagree with competition so much, let's just rotate it. Or hell, bag limits.

I prefer competitive raiding in theory but not in practice, at least not on here. When cheating is kept to a minimum with appropriate punishments, competition creates a memorable story behind each item acquired which has a greater nostalgic effect. Zerging through content doesn't provide that, but then there's no real motive for or point in cheating.

If wanting rotations or bag limits, post a thread/poll about it or something, idk. But it isn't as if other players in the past weren't asking for the same, many of which I was guilded with. But saying "let's just rotate it" is overlooking a very basic fact that the decision isn't up a few players within the playerbase. You and what army?

But you won't do that. You'd never do that. Because you are selfish and cowardly.

I haven't been raiding in months, so wrong person to assume elf motives about. I've also never been an officer or leader in any guild, ever, so wrong person again. I have no influence whatsoever over any aspect of the endgame. Some players like me enough to let me tag along and others tolerate my presence as long as I don't fuck up too much.

It's hard to take serious any outrage over nerds bonding in an ancient game on a server several years into the last expansion, especially when compared to real life matters, global and personal. If things aren't agreeable in this virtual world, than make every effort to affect change? That's how the draft came about.
