I remember a quote somewhere about tears tasting like candy... whatever. At any rate, this thread actually is one of the more pathetic things I've seen in a while.
Seriously, just look at the intensity of all these posts. I hate to break it to you, but we're not professional football players, we're not hiking Mount Everest, and we're not pioneering unknown territories - in a real or virtual world. We're fucking playing Everquest, and on content that is over 10 years old. I'll bet a third of the people posting here aren't even wearing pants.
Now you seriously believe that this is being competitive? Let's see, we can't kill each other, train, KS. So pretty much the competition is what, to mobilize in a zone the fastest? Well, no because in your little world it's OK to just jump ahead of people who are already organized for a kill. So then the competition is the first to engage? That sure sounds fun, two raids sitting on top of each other hoping that when the mob spawns he agroes them first. No, that would just come down to luck and no one could really be called the "best". That leaves FFA, where I guess the competition would be whoever has the highest single group dps group to KS the targets. Sounds pretty stupid, tbh.
Now I'm not saying that one side is right on this issue, these boards have been polluted by completely retarded nonsense by people on both sides of the argument. Honestly I'm fucking embarrassed that gms had to intervene and enforce a rotation, but if people don't want to take their heads out of their asses and actually come up with a compromise, we're probably going to be stuck being babysat even further.
As for this idea that GMs shouldn't have gotten involved. I'd love to believe that was true, but have you happened to look at ooc or the boards in the past month? The animosity between IB and Trans is toxic and will drive away a lot of players who just want to relive some nostalgia. I know it's hard for some of us to believe, but the server doesn't revolve around a single guild or their opinions on how the server should be ran.
Fuck, just because this is a game doesn't mean that we need to act like children.
