Reading the responses in this thread has made me reflect on what the fuck I'm doing playing this game. Unfortunately nothing has come from this reflection.

It is not quite representative of the situation though, because the toll in the scenario you present only serves to dissuade use of the highway under ordinary circumstances. It never serves to impede your access to or progress down the road. The presently absent P99 features normally would serve as obstacles (however small or large) to loot. The tolls will never deny access to the road.

That aside, the analogy implies that all possible outcomes are morally justified because they are possible outcomes. It defers moral judgement to others and favors compulsion over individual responsibility. In other words, if one is not prohibited from doing a thing, then that thing is ok.

That is a dangerous philosophy to embrace.
That sums it up quite nicely (though perhaps without the danger, it is a game afterall)

The question then is, and I will probably phrase this all wrong as I don't possess such eloquence; is this mindset of their officers a deliberate and conscious thought on how they have chosen to play the game ? Or are they just ignorant of their actions?

Embarrassing thread, reminds me of why I only stayed on P99 for a brief period of time.

The content was accidently broken by the server staff. No one is at fault here, we're all playing the same game. I'm sure if the staff really cared about content that's been known for 15 years they would have tested it before releasing the patch. I bet staff could even disable raid targets from spawning if it meant that much. But it doesn't really matter, stop crying that another guild is killing something they're "not supposed to" because their neckbeard isn't as bad as urs


This is a valid defense

No it isn't. As there were other raiding guilds who took the high road and refused to fight broken content. For example rampage killing sont with 25, that is a clear exploit and blatant use of broken mechanics. They also used broken mechanics to pull past trash and skip a guild that was actually clearing trash as you are supposed to in ntov. On live this issue would have been fixed immediately the fact that it wasn't isn't somehow the GMs giving their approval to kill broken content. Would you go rob a bank just because no one told you it was illegal?

This. BDA knows what they can go do.
