Thanks for the rules clarification Sirken!
One question I have though, is, what are the rules pertaining to perceived kiting? I.E. Guild A pulls RaidNPC, Guild B feels as if it is not a straight pull so they decide to take the pull.
This has been ongoing behavior that has seen no repercussions except in one recent instance, but all further instances that followed that one have gone unenforced.
As far as I am aware, this is unacceptable behavior. (aka Two wrongs don't make a right - as you mentioned). Even if a guild is kiting, would it not be best to just catch the kite on fraps for GM review rather than allow pull stealing?
A clear statement regarding this behavior would be appreciated. Thanks

You hit the nail on the hit; Two wrongs don’t make a right. I know it shouldn’t be like this, but all top end guilds need a person running fraps because shenanigans seem to occur most often when staff is not around, and it truly, truly helps us. When I see blatant douchebaggery I will obviously suspend for it. But I’m not a nazi either. I have raid experience in EQ, and I understand that sometimes things like FTE can be extremely close, and I understand that things can just happen in the heat of battle, but there’s still a line that shouldn’t be crossed. P99 may not be a PvP server, but it is still a competitive raiding server. And as such, the staff wants to encourage heated, competitive contests between the guilds. We just want those contests decided by dedication and skill instead of garbage and griefing. Losing with class is always better than winning like a douchebag.
That being said, kiting raid mobs is not allowed. However, it is not for guildB to decide if guildA is breaking the rules. They are neither judge nor jury. if guildA was caught breaking the rules I would remove the loots and suspend characters that needed it. If it happened a second time I would be forced to punish the guilds leadership for the actions of their members as well as the members involved; consider it P99’s version of a RICO act. If however guildB decided to KillSteal mob I would then remove the loots and punish them for KSing in the same fashion id punish guildA for cheating.
Please do not make me be a bad guy. i’m here to make your lives easier, not to make them harder. I’m very easy to talk to, and I’m always willing to discuss situations with players if the need arises.
I hope I have thoroughly answered your questions.
Sincerely,
Sirken
