Class "R" rotation and Sky about to fall apart

To seriously and intelligently reply to Sirken's question I say: because there is a class feud that this server has fostered for many years. Whenever I finally do stop playing this game and I look back I will likely not remember FE, IB, Divinity, Taken ect. I will remember TMO, just as I remember Fires of Heaven from live. They are a very large, very public entity and they have grown bored with this games content so they turn to their other favorite thing to do, feud with the casual scum.

TMO as a whole clearly stated they do not endorse their members joining with Class R guilds for any reason. They did not state that they "punish it" but they did make it clear they want to make it as undesirable as possible. (Unbrella can reiterate the finer details, I'm sure). But their members individually have been branching off to join with smaller guilds under the "good Samaritan" guise of "no loot please, just helping out."

What do they gain? They add very small guilds to the rotation and essentially create a TRUE welfare program for guilds that are nowhere near raid ready. The rotation is more than happy to accept any guild that is really raid ready and we are seeing that happen with Harmony, Omni and a few others. But the more guilds that join the rotation the more unattractive class R appears.

They want to think Class R out as much as possible so that it forces hungrier guilds into class C. I personally think that the reason GMs like you don't care about this is because it has been stated by you and Deru that you want to see larger guilds in Class R progress. Deru once stated that Class R is called this because he wants us to understand we are restricted and that class C is more profitable, therefore more attractive.

Well, truthfuly, it could be a massive hoard of free loot, but class R players don't care about the loot. We care about the play style. Ask me to trade my job/girlfriend/way of life for a crown of Rile and I will deny you every time.


TL;DR synopsis: Because it makes Class R more difficult and they seek that for either the feud factor or to push more guilds into Class C (aka new blood).

thank you Nemce. thats essentially what i was looking for.

but i would be curious to know if anyone from Class R disagrees with the logic behind Nemce's post here, or if everyone pretty much shares that opinion.
