If I recall, TMO could only 'compete' in farming lockets for the first few months that the IB/DW merger guild TR completely owned the server. When they had farmed the crap so long and were still waiting for VP to come out, people just did not log on anymore. IB could barely pull 20 people on a good night, so they merged their raids with VD to get the numbers. Honestly Alarti, I would calm down about how wonderful your guild is...whatever 'competition' means, being able to do it after the fact does not make you special in any way.
This, exactly this. If you want to compete against TMO you have to build up like TMO did. TMO didn't just call upon the dark side of the force for their power. They built it up by farming lockets, raiding sky for a whole summer, and recruiting "good" players. I guess I could see how people not in TMO could feel. But if the shoe was on the other foot you would be crying like TMO is doing now.

Competition is getting good leadership, strong officers, and people who WANT to log in at anytime to fight the enemy. TMO was sad to see IB go (but happy to see VD go) b/c it was the competition that brought some of the TMO to p99. TMO wanted to be the top guild on the server and did that throu competition.

That is what it is going to take. BDA is going to have to want to be the number 1 guild and not just call them that because of their large numbers. TMO got number one by out racing and being smarter players. If BDA ( and their tag along VD/IB brothers) really wanted to compete they would merge and start actively tracking targets.

But that is where TMO succeeds and everyone else fails. TMO knows how to share loot, tracking duties, and raid leadership. That did not come about b/c IB had to take 2 weeks off. It took TMO a year to build up to the point they could go to war with IB.

If you want to go to war with TMO then you need to do your homework and not just expect handouts.
