And it would appear to me that they made an arrangement that maintains some competition, while preventing any monopolization of spawns. Do try and keep up with current events in a thread called "recent events".

why are there refs in sports? Clearly they are paid professionals who know the entirety of the rules pertaining to their sport. To think there is ever going to be a rule set, or agreement that has no grey areas to bend, use or exploit you are wrong...shit look at the world goverments and corporations built upon using and growing from the grey while enforcing the black and white : also while convening the masses that it IS black and white.

the rules 'agreed' upon has a lot of grey, and while there may be black and white in there that makes you sheep think its good for you, if you for a second think that those in a more powerful position than you are going it for your own good and not for their own advancement, then you are just fooling yourself.

Also, this "sit out next raid mob" approach that is being applied is really only a ploy by FE/IB to guarantee half of the raids mobs go to their guild when TMO comes back. They can't do it through competition, so they set these "good measures" into motion knowing that they would be the real benefactors after the 2 week suspension is lifted.

TMO doesn't need green chat to raid together.

surely you arent implying the GMs would allow TMO to dodge a raid suspension just by dropping guild tag and calling themselves a "pickup raid" or some other bullshit

Why are there multiple teams in sports? Why not just have 1 team of 115 players which always makes it to the final game?

lol, not at all. Everyone in the guild at the time of the suspension is not allowed in or near the raid mobs, regardless of their current tag (or lack there of).

No Xadion, your guild is actually fully responsible for this. IB left the server and VD got absorbed by us. We became the defacto #2 guild which honestly wasn't where we wanted to be. There was a long period where we in BDA didn't really provide "competition" like you had been used to. The server was won at that point because we didn't really want to compete like you had been when every dirty trick in the book was necessary to gain an edge against IB/TR.

At that point TMO could have changed the raid scene entirely for the good of the server but instead it turned into a loot piñata greed spree. Now we're back to FE/IB and TMO using every bullshit trick in the book and no one wants to blink, there's no mutual disarmament, just mutual escalation of tactics. Now you are being forced to at least be civil with other raid guilds. Let's see if you can at least manage that after your vacation is over.

I honestly wonder what and where you people live in your happy little worlds? There is force X that is dominant and in controlling Y content, resources whatever... You want Y but do not want to meet or exceed the force to acquire it? Everyone states that if you have the force to kill a mob you should get a chance... I have the ability to drive a GT-R that does not mean the Nissan dealership is just going to up and give me one.

Was your guild raid suspended? Derp

My memory is only so good. I don't recall any guilds getting suspended for the 365 round. Maybe I'm wrong.

Also, alarti. I thought you were banned. Why you come creeping back when they kick you out?

How many other guilds have bought hundreds of accounts that they can just park on a mob spawn? Who knows how much of that was bought with legit plat....

So in this analogy, TMO is the Nissan dealership?

You must be a lot of fun to hang out with.

Too funny, everyone seems to assume that button mashing on a computer makes them a super hero irl. Like it takes so much skill to raid any content...

Sorry, the game is made to be beat. You are nothing special. Monopolizing content takes dedication, not skill. You are dedicated, that is for sure.

But at what point are you playing this game just to disrupt other peoples enjoyment?
This is not a first person shooter game, you don't need to make strategy adjustments to encounters. There is no advanced AI...

This is not a matter of competition for resources that needs "X force" to concur.
Every guild has enough force to kill these pixels, the strategies are posted all over... there is no surprises here.
