Alarti, do not bring VP tactics into this debate, you and I both know its a separate zone even more unruly than standard. VP has the server rules TMO wants to play with, using it as a counter-point only harms your own argument.
The other part TMO loves to downplay in VP is the initial opening, which was a GM-enforced rotation. TMO got 3 dragons, IB/TR got 3 dragons. You also all had time to pal around, checking it out, setting up tracker bots, CotH bots, playing with positioning and pulling while not under duress from another guild. Any other guild walking into VP since then (the only example being VD), has been heavily contested by TMO's train team.
As far as IB's treatment of you, you guys fought tooth and nail against it, I doubt I even know all the underhanded in-game tactics. But I don't remember seeing TMO's RL pictures in server chat, TMO's guild message boards strewn across Server Chat. Disregarding any in-game shenanigans that IB probably did, TMO went lower, taking the animosity way past the game. If TMO wants to do whatever it can get away with in the name of "competition" in-game, fine. But your outright lack of respect even out of the game has shown the jaded state your competition with IB/TR left you in.
No other guild desires to pay that price. You've paid it, you've earned it. Enjoy it, -ALL- of it.
