So thought about doing a fresh start but wanted to see how P99 and the guilds were doing. I was in Paradigm Shift for roughly 8 months but keep in touch with some of the people that still play. Here's my aspect of Paradigm Shift before I left.

Outside looking in, Paradigm Shift is a great guild that does some pretty big named mobs with minimum personnel but there are some turmoil brewing inside.

Paradigm Shift is a Loot Counseling guild (Lulz). So there is "Inner Circle-Jerk" decides who gets what. You could be tracking, pulling, tanking, be raid ready with the Reavers, Debuff Wands, Soulfires, DA Idols, etc. But that does not account for any awards that you have submitted to the Higher Echelon. You could have 90% or higher raid attendence, and some new guy who comes in and does nothing will receive the item because he has not received one yet.

Loot Counseling has backfired on several occasions. For a couple examples:
*Wrekka (DPS Monk) - Awarded the Shovel of the Harvest. NEVER SEEN AGAIN
*Denzallo (DPS Monk) - Awarded Grey Suede Boots and Shawl of Protection. NEVER SEEN AGAIN.

A previous post mentioned something along the lines of how the Officer Core looks out for themselves. So here are the best items that guild has received based on their ranking:
1) Harmacy (Pyrrhica Alt Guild Lead) - Serrated Dragon Tooth *Was not there for the kill and still looted the item for MQ*
2) Pyrrhica (Guild Lead) - Flayed Barbarian Skin Mask
3) Arcler (Guild Second Lead) - Buckler of Insight *Arcler was changed to a main (60 day probation with no loot) and the next day received the MQ for the item, also believed to have received King Tormax Head*
4) Ruiken (Officer) - Received Abashi 2H from Vulak
5) Jaafaar (Officer) - Received Brain of Cazic Thule
6) Rhovanion (Officer) - Received KT Head and Shroud of Veeshan
7) Csisu (Officer) - Received Dain's Head on first Dain Kill
8) Gnorbet (Officer) - Received Eye of Cazic Thule
9) Isthmus (Officer) - Received Flayed Barbarian Skin Leggings

So yes, the Inner Circle does look out for their own. If you are a guild member and contradict any of their decision, GOOD LUCK ON GETTING AN ITEM.


Paradigm Shift can be a really good guild but needs a major revamp on some of the leadership or I am afraid those that put in the time and effort will seek other guilds that will reward individuals for the contributions.

This is Denzallo...first off I have been in this guild since the very very start. Yes I did get a Shawl, but I never got Grey Suede Boots. In over a year I got one item. Sue me. And I played every day for months after I got the shawl of protection. Never seen again? You asshole, I just had my second kid the first week of March and am prioritizing sleep over elf sim currently, something which i have been transparent with the guild about...your info is pretty classic , if only it were true. Wish I knew a toon name to associate with this swill.
