No he didn't. He was the one who told us to not engage because of the DDoS.

The point is simple here. You guys are failing to assemble fast enough to overtake an encounter. Because you are failing to do so, you are resorting to hiding behind the GMs backs to make it "fair." As a result, those who are able to assemble fast and take things down are being punished.

Your failures are being rewarded. OF course you want rotation or something to allow you to have NO punishment for failure.

Allizia, IF certain measures were put in place like this, would you agree?

1) First raid force (a force that could actually kill it right then and now, say 20 people minimum for a dragon raid) there to an encounter gets right to engage. So, no guild could just put 1 person there and claim the camp. A force must be there and ready to go.

2) If the first raid force fails, then the other force, if there, can engage and has 30 minutes to attack, if not, the other force has a legitimate claim on the encounter.

My guess is that you would not agree because as it stands, Transcendence cannot do this. This is what Wenai should have imposed instead of reinventing the wheel (haha rotation, get it?).

I can tell you right now, if Transcendence were able to do this and legitimately beat us to the raid encounter, it would totally be yours. In fact, we have already done this in regards to Phinny many times.

But instead, it is easier for you guys to champion rotation. It allows you guys to take competition out and failure to be the "pseudoartifact" of success.

I just find it funny how normal "camp rules" are championed but magically it is different with raid encounters. The answer is simple. Do all you can, and agree to anything that will bring the top guild down so you get a piece of the pie. It's kind of like selling your soul to the devil to get what you want.
