Rogean acknowledged that he has indeed ruled against TR in -a- dispute. That's right folks. One time. Just how many petitions have involved IB/TR. And one time they were found to be in the wrong.

If anyone had been paying attention to what has been going on around here for the past eight weeks or so they would have known that a shitstorm was brewing. How many of TMO's raid-related petitions have been responded to in the past two months? That would be a big fat fucking ZERO. Yet all it takes is one personal phone call from TR before he comes charging onto the scene to fix their widdle problem.

How about a quick recap of the lastest two incidents involving TR and TMO:

Sev pops. TMO had first aggro, mobilized first and was pulling him to our camp when TR decided they had the right to gank Sev because they didn't agree with the route the Sev was on while being pulled. No rule was being broken by TMO ~ TR just didn't like how it was being done. TMO was not stalling for time and hoping for more to log in (though that is a fine trick that TR uses frequently and successfully) they had a raid force there and ready. But TR grabs Sev and takes the kill. TMO petitions. Again. That’s one more in the queue gathering dust. But not one peep was said about this incident by the staff. Not addressing an issue like that is tantamount to giving TR permission to do as they please. Yes, TR’s rule lawyers were out in force over this one but it all boils down to the fact that they are very confident that they have the right to do as they wish.

But wait, here's the good part! TMO touches a couple of the 87 adds that are at the entrance of KC while TR is losing their asses to VS and guess what happens? TMO is banned from raiding for a week. We didn't cause them to wipe. We didn't try to gank VS out from under them. We touched their adds. Adds which they did not have under control.

So the lesson learned from this round is: TR ganking a dragon is perfectly acceptable; TMO touching trash mobs means a raid suspension. If you can’t see the huge disparity of how things are enforced around here it is because you don't want to – it’s not because it doesn't exist.

You do realize that by bring up Uthgaard you just drive home the fact that the "even playing field" that is supposed to exist on P99 is an utter myth. =P Uthgaard was the only one who didn't kowtow to TR. He was expected to cater to TR but refused to do so. So the only person who had the balls to call TR out on their shit ... is gone. And now that he isn’t around, you're back to business as usual. With approval from the top no less.

So does that mean you finally win EQ, Bro 99 style?
