Nice response bro. Do me a favor and look up reductive reasoning on the internet. FTE is fucking stupid, just like the title of this thread states. It makes raid mob engagements even more tied to rule lawyering and stupid bullshit than 15 on spawn did, and even that rule was not good.

do u even know what reductive reasoning means? yes, i'm guilty of trying to keep things simple. you think FTE is stupid? well i think rotations and 15 on a spawn is stupid. you clearly aren't involved in raid disputes, because you'd know that in the last couple months there have only been 3 situations where i was asked to check FTE. and only 2 of those situations resulted in staff having to remove items from one guild in order to give to the proper guild. as i have said a million times, FTE is not perfect, however, it is the best system in terms of what staff can verify, and what players can adhere to. when we have a better way of doing things, we will change the way they are done. until that time, this is a more than fair way of doing things (newsflash before you QQ at me, Fair does not mean Balanced).
Competition > Balance

I realize being a GM on a server with so many awful people probably gives you a pretty jaded outlook but honestly, just because it is minimal effort on your part doesn't mean it is a good policy for the long term. Sad truth is this server is a big deal to a lot of people. I think some serious reform is needed in the amount of GM's, their general policies, and the rulesets as a whole that the server abides by. How many have quit due to these "works fine" rulings that have been used to screw people over so many times?

i realize that you think you know absolutely everything that's going on, and that you feel you could do a better job than every staff member, past, present, and future. but the sad truth is that without knowing what tools and restrictions that exist and are available on our end, you really have no grounds to simply assume things are the way they are because i only want "minimal effort" on my part (as u so rudely implied without any proof to such a claim). if you think the staff can make everybody happy, then you have never tried to please a large group of people. we do what we can to please the majority, and we feel this works for the majority.
