This thread is basically the point of view from former Heresy members. Street justice sounds great because it usually always worked out for that guild. Street justice doesn't always sort things out.
But I'll give you a for instance.
Guild A has just reached the N wall in PoFear. Guild B has gathered outside and wants control of the zone and to prevent Guild A from retrieving better gear. Needless to say, Guild B is far better geared than Guild A and wants to keep it that way. The intention is to engage. Instead, a member from Guild B zones in, trains half the zone to N wall, Guild A is unprepared ("they should have been prepared," terrible argument), Guild A wipes, Guild B takes the zone, /end.
That's cool? You're going to just say the moral is to anticipate? Let's not act like everyone in this thread just let sleeping dogs lie after situations like that occurred. You're delusional if you think that was even remotely true. Read a thread from back in the day on VZTZ.
Anytime someone got fucked in the game, they had a new complaint on the boards. Exploits/ bugs were only brought to light after it directly effected another player (who knew about it) in a bad way. It was pathetic. And you all have that same mind set regarding R99.
Street justice through and through is bullshit. I'm all for as little GM intervention as possible, but we all know the people posting in this thread have more time (or will make more time) than most other people for R99. And most of you are previously from Heresy. Street justice will almost always fall in your favor.
