You could say the same for life, considering that whole death thing at the end. People work for things they can enjoy while they are here. Equal parts sensible and completely insane. Such is life.

Whoever dies with the most toys wins.

Does anyone have the zlandi heart turn in weapon?

Someone needs to suck it up and server first that shit

Kautin has had one. Its super annoying on raids.

Hahahahahah kautin is my spirit animal

due to the way warrior aggro is irrelevant on this server, SoD as a weapon for min/maxing as a warrior is not the best choice for raids typically. I would stick with jaleean's katana and claw of lightning after dropping a mallet. But it's a weapon that never drops again so it's cool or something.

What's the weapon for a zlandi heart turn in? Don't remember that from live

Protip: Amassing a sizable fortune in platinum takes more time and effort than "hard core neckbearding", and gives you less to show for it.

Let's elaborate a bit! Take, for example, the A-team. While the server heroes like myself and others in TMO killed every raid boos and paid very little attention to EC tunnel, A-team platinum miners spent the majority of their time increasing their virtual (and in at least one case IRL) bank accounts. Despite this leading to many A-team members being individually wealthy, a pretty good joke at the time was A-team having epics. They simply couldn't afford them.

Well, Zeelot TMO was mostly uncontested. You had warm bodies like Alarti with full PD gear for very little work. If there was ever a time to be a raider, that was it. And the whole 'a-team/epics' thing was mostly a Tiggles troll. But with the current scene, I don't think being a raider is such a win. Let's say I decide I want to buy a White Dragon Helm so I can get FTII boots on Loraen. What are my options?

A: Farmer. Spend about 150 hours at various cash camps and buy one for 750k. I can do it on my own schedule, do a pretty decent variety of content, and stay pretty engaged because when you do things in 2/3 man groups your performance and strategy matter.

B: Racer. Spend about 125 hours staring at the wall at 15 DKP/hour and buy one for 2000 DKP. I think you have to be pretty crazy to prefer this.

C: Warmbody. Join A/A and attend about 125 raids at 15 dkp per raid and 30 minutes per and buy one for 2000 DKP. Content is basically all the same (log in at LTK, press autoattack/backstab/complete heal). Marginal contribution to any given raid is zero in a raid of 80 members. Can't control your schedule. DKP flow is pretty slow unless you get up in the middle of the night.

Now, the big advantage of raiding is all the no-drops that will never be for sale. But otherwise, I don't think it's a huge win.

What camp are you getting 5k/hour at?
