Finally get the skinny on the raid bans I'd heard about...

I see the new GM rule about training and agro...

I see players posting.

There are some serious adult brats on this server. That's all there is to it. Either side can argue their points until blue in the face and all I keep thinking is: geez... what a brat.

/shrug

I'll bet for a commoner like me, it's still great to just log in and goof off =) I'd hoped to raid on this server, but if I take what I read at face value, it just doesn't look like it's going to be worth the time. As an old electrician told me one summer: you'd get more out of poundin' yer pud.

Am I way off base on this? Seems like the raiding scene drama's been nearly non-stop for two years here. Shame really- it's such a small community to begin with. There's literally a population low enough that everybody on this server could get to enjoy all of the content in an orderly fashion, but for some reason, conflict is created...

Meh. Bored work musings.
Personally I agree with this. However, you have to understand that we have two types of people on this server: the 90% which want to experience the stuff they never got to do on Live for whatever reason, and the 10% who want to be the best by stepping on the 90% as much as possible. The vast majority of what goes on in these threads are people from each side just not understanding the perspective of the others.

Which is why we need raid rules that allow both sides to get their fix, i.e. competition but limited in some ways. Variance turns out to only amp up the competition, hence the desire for simultaneous repops. We can only hope that this is Nilbog's proposal.
