Wasn't IB doing a fear raid at just that moment? Nice coincidence.

Pretty much 1/3 of IB's general Fear force wasn't IB a week ago, or isn't even IB currently.
I *highly* doubt this was done to annoy IB.
I do strongly remember a couple of GMs on the forums bringing out the "You're in our world now, deal with it" card recently. That's a far, far more likely culprit.
Go back and re-read all the rants and flames and drama bombs. Folks are a lot madder at the perceived favortism and corruption up top than they are about a faceless guild.
Example A:
Are people mad because IB_Rogue_01 has a Fanged Skull Stiletto? Or are they mad that the item, and Mayong, are in the game, as a GM Event mob, to be killed once (and presumably by IB anyways). Are people mad at that rogue? Or the several LOL parts of the preceeding sentence?
No need to make some long example-laden post of the other things people are whining about, but just that one quick refresher to illustrate that IB's just caught in the middle, it's every other aspect of each new "decision" in the server's progression/policies that gets the nerd rage to a fever pitch.
If I showed up tomorrow and a GM handed me a pair of Warrior epic 1.0s, would you be mad at me for having lightsabers, or mad at the GM who showed a tremendous lack of foresight and judgement? *That* is the reason people get so bent out of shape, these forums swell up with pages of inane personal attacks and meaningless banter, and also the VERY reason we're staring at this thread pondering what to do next.
If you honestly think we're not playing Classic EQ right now because of IB, you are seriously, seriously, missing the point. Even if I could pretend for a second I care either way about the guild drama, the fact that IB is raiding in Fear and actually progressing in a relatively classic timeline finally would be a reason to *stop* a potential ddos attack, not start it.
