Lite's a saint imo, he literally doesn't give a fuck any more about fighting zergs with 1 group of people.

He just does stuff to support the dozen or so people who still want to log in and do some content outside of Nihilum.

Translation - defeated.

When Azrael had 35 + allies at Trakanon one month ago, the whole zerg thing was out the window.

Time for someone new to lead that "gives a fuck."

Can't win?

Try and get the rules changed!

The Azrael way..

Honestly best thing that could happen is Lite quit.. another leader will emerge and they wont be nearly as bad as Lite and then a solid guild will emerge.

TLDR ...

I fired Azrael back up after the GM's agreed to implement simulated patch days, which would alleviate zerg mode recruitment as the only viable option to competing. shit's dumb

Nice, more loot for us...

Think of the repop yesterday as a test of variance. Similar situations - you had a roughly +/- 12 hour window when you knew your target(s) would spawn. As soon as that server popped up on the list, you send out the batphone, everyone logs in, and you go after your target.

If nihilum got all the targets in a variance situation where every raid mob in Norrath spawned at the same time, why would you think you'd have a chance at one or two targets that Nihilum has characters camped out at with trackers ready to batphone?

In theory you are right, however, you are only using one target in your example. Yes, nihilum got 50. But they got 50 online when it meant the possibility of getting all of the mobs, and the likelihood of getting the most desired ones. You can't tell me they are going to get 50 ppl online 10+ times per week at completely random times. What happens when Fay spawns at 10am EST. All of a sudden they get 17 -25... Azrael will fight that crew, but fuck no we arent going to engage 35+.

What's happened for the people that have defected from the rebellion is they have gone casual. They don't want to play a whole lot (which is required when you are fighting nihilum). Now, they let the core of nihilum do the work for them. Guys like brobb, noah/valentin, agatha, jupe, feniggles, sektors ect. they dont want to invest hours of their life fighting a fight that doesnt reap many rewards. As a result, they'd rather just wait for the weekly batphone and log for a chance at loot.

Nihilum, isnt all neckbeards at all. Not anymore, now its 65 casual players who log in once a week for a chance at one of their final BiS items. There is no way they get all their players out when there is only 1 mob to kill at a random time midweek.

Give variance a try, after a few weeks the spawns will be so broken up that players will be forced to log in when they dont have all week to plan for it... Also, this isnt blue. You can kill the people tracking mobs.

Also, elderan. I truly feel for you. You are like that one guy irl that everyone knows and absolutely hates. The worst part, is that guy is usually way to oblivious to know just how much everyone dislikes him. The guy i know irl, his name is aiden, fuck; is he ever ridiculed.
