I respect your perspective and how you put your thought on the matter here.

But when players exploit rule set after rule set after rule set, how is this admin's fault?

If players actually honored any sort of PnP, the crap that goes on wouldn't happen in the first place.

Every infraction that occurs is because some greedy neckbeard nerd is not following guidelines.

Every time rules are set down, players work to find ways to exploit the rules or find ways around them thus forcing the hand of admin to create more rules. It's similar to how anti-virus programmers and virus creators interact. The programmer constantly is having to adapt and change because the virus creators always are looking and finding ways to work around the anti-virus programmers anti-virus programs.

I don't need to be an active raider now to understand one huge component to the problems in the raid scene is player greed.

I was in a raid guild 2 different times, and during the last 3 month stint got to see enough within that guild to understand players raiding often times are in the guild only for themselves and are extraordinarily greedy. It was so annoying I no longer wanted to log my toons in while in that guild.

I am objective enough to understand this mentality is possessed by top tier raid guilds as well, and this is why you have players constantly trying to cheat their way to get pixels before other guilds can, it's greed that fuels them not poorly made raid rules that are in effect.

Players need to take responsibility and stop trying to pretend all the problems within the raid scene is caused by admin or bad rule sets. No one is making these players do what they do except themselves ffs.

There's a lot of petitions in the grey area of the rules. Many aren't ruled on one way or another as they are inconclusive.

As well unintentional violations. Do you think Lord Bob intended to violate the convoluted tracker FTE rule? Or say you're on a COTH mage and you get trained, congratulations you're in violation of tracker FTE! I guess you're greedy for trying to COTH your guild and save some time.

Wouldn't expect a very casual/non-raider to understand the scene. All I see here is a lot of wishing that everyone was as virtuous a white knight as you.
