You weren't getting many pixels before the rotation. One could also say that BDA had every reason to "spearhead for the rotation" since they weren't really a powerful raiding force on the server prior to the changes. They had everything to gain from it; just step in line and wait for your welfare pixels. Unlike before the changes when you occasionally got a vox or Inny kill, or maybe snagged a few mobs during a repop.

You should be thanking those who were in FE for standing up to TMO back then. BDA certainly wouldn't have been able to make enough of a splash in the raiding scene to bring about reform in the raiding scene; by your own admission you've always been unwilling to earn your pixels.

Lol, grats on thinking you were more than a doormat.

How is it projecting?

It's a confirmed fact that TMO and IB give no shits about the health of the server. Unbrella even told me in vent that TMO would ally with IB to keep loot out of casual hands as long as it preserved the TMO/IB way of life.

10+ class R guilds in under a month have done what TMO/IB/TR/DA etc etc hadn't been able to do in 4+ years. The problem with the raidscene isn't that there's too many capable guilds, it isn't because velious isn't out (protip: it's not going to solve everything) it's because of the mentality of the hardcore player. He always needs more, everyone else be damned. There's never enough for them. Does someone really need to kill ragefire every single time he spawns? Probably not. Is that mindset good for the health of the server? I don't think so.

Once someone gets past that nostalgic fix and wants to progress to actually accomplishing some goals in the game they run smack into that mentality. Will you ever see your epic Mr. Newbie SK? Probably not unless you want to join TMO or IB and raid like an asshole. A particular raid style shouldn't be a prerequisite to raiding on p99.

Plenty of epic newbie SKs. At least when RMT was more accessible :P

This is the blue server I thought the whole point was to obtain pixels and everyone to just have a good time, not like a_large_rat AI is gonna challenge anyone.

For example every-fucking-thing on this server is monetized at the moment. If you're a cleric leveling up and you want an epic it's usually easier to just farm some cash and MQ for it instead of you know questing for it. There will be some class r Taken fuck sitting their FD waiting for Ragefire to spawn so he can duo it for the 398745897th time. Fuck that new guy who just wants to kill it once for his epic.

Fixed for you

P sure catherin was autofiring it based on several fraps. later shown definitive fraps. daliant was obviously using something to auto turn in--the fucker was afk as it was killed haha. the fight is pure shitshow due to the nature of the spawn and its tremendous value for how easy of a fight he is.

Anyone who was even slightly aware of what raiding or the raid scene was like during this era really shouldn't be surprised about what is going on. Keeping pixels out of your competitions hands is part of the game. You stymie the progression of other guilds so they can never challenge you. It is the meta game of the raid scene and quite a fun one if you are the one cock blocking.

I didn't play on every server in EQ but on the one I did and the ones some of my friends did it was always the same story. 1-2 guilds at the top with like 2-4 smaller ones fighting over the scraps. The top guild situation here is correct with having IB and TMO doing their thing but toss in 10-11 other guilds who also want a piece of the action and there will never be enough for everyone even with RoK + SoV. A single uber guild can claim almost all of SoV on a weekly basis. If you are in a lower tier raid guild now I hope you enjoy farming RoK because its all that you will continue to have outside of whatever rotation gets cooked up for kael arena farming.

Just because no one else got definitively caught doesn't mean it wasn't fucking rampant. Don't be purposefully stupid.

As far as dominating content that was only the case on some servers. Other servers had rotations, others solved their shit through pvp. If the goal of this server is to experience classic EQ in all it's forms then letting 15% of the population dictate raid content to the rest of the server doesn't hold up.
