Dark Ascension

YO, so I was there in WI for both CT fights where divinity kicked our sorry ass, aight. And ya'll spreading lies doesn't help the server. That second CT was the night I decided I was done w/ WI, because our leadership that night was the epitome of suck, even worse than the weeks prior. But for the lies:

1. RE: standoffs at temple. When it got down to ~20 mobs in zone, both us AND divinity (from my observations) had a policy of medding to full, letting the other guild do the pulls if they were doing them, and otherwise taking singles. I am a monk. I know what I'm talking about. I pulled temple. I pulled past div sitting there watching. I also pulled past div pulling. I also sat and watched on Bum's orders while div pulled. Goes both ways, Cannibus and Auena. And you know that shit. You were there too.

2. RE: death touch cycles. Yes, the 2nd CT, ~80% of the DT cycles were non-WI. We also didn't pull golems that night. Things were very different the first time when we pulled golems, and there wasn't nearly as much bitching in vent about DT cycles.

Important to note that no proof was ever given in vent as to who started which DT cycles, whether trans, or div, or as div says: some mysterious trainer (I'm picturing like Twopair here, IDK though). It was an urban legend in vent told mostly by Bumamgar, and several of ya'll drank the kool-aid.

Like to also point out, the DT-cycle rage didn't get REAL loud until we actually lost on the strategy part of the competition. Which is what CT is now... a competition. The conversation AFTER the second CT loss in vent was something VERY like:

"well rogean finally responded to my comment about their starting the DT cycles with a sad face, but he's not going to do anything about it." - Bum

"They griefed us all night, that's such bullshit, there should be an addendum to the raid rules. We had several members log because of it, or else we would have gotten CT." - Bum

"Dude, none of that matters. On the important part, we just lost." - me
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE" - Bum, Gab, Aue, others

3. Leapfrogging - Bullshit. Bullshit bullshit bullshit. Yes, both CTs, divinity showed up 15 minutes after we did or so. So what? Situation reversed, you're saying you would have said "oh, no, they zoned into fear and have cleared 10 mobs already, we're not going in." Bullshit. Sooooooo hypocritical. It's the game. It's competition. It's the new raid rules. A div member pointed out that we leapfrogged them later at naggy, since they were closer to/buffing up when we logged on (having just done FGs), and I'm not sure if the div member was pissed (if he was then lol on him, but I think more likely he was just making the point of how hypocritical it is), but that's essentially the same amount of leapfrogging. the 15 FGs vs. the 10-20 mobs we cleared in fear both times before they entered the zone.


While I'm on that second CT night, I just want to post also a repeated convo I had with Bum in vent -
"Right now, just get rezzed, get buffed up, focus on that, we'll worry about CT when there's one or two mobs in the zone." - Bum
"Dude, don't you think we should pull when there're more mobs, we wiped w/ 6 last time w/ no enches and bad positioning on our first shot. And div cleared w/ 4 still up. They're not gonna wait for 1 or 2 mobs and then let us pull over and above that."
"RIIIIIIGHT NOW, just do that. Don't worry about it."

No plan at all. Honestly, really happy you're taking your drill-sergeant, no imagination, dream-world failure leadership elsewhere. That doesn't go for Spirell, just Bum and Aue.

It's a really dick thing to say, but I hope it makes you think twice about taking good advice/thinking in advance/being creative, maybe you'll enjoy the game more for it when you see some success instead of just "___ wishes to cast Resurrection upon you."
