If you want to point fingers at the people who are dicks you should start with the developers rather than the people who are trying to fulfil the ultimate finality of green's lifespan before it's canned by p99's staff. What would be a bigger waste, someone losing out on an item or the entire server never experiencing Kerafyrm's awakening?

What would be the good-guy move? To not disrupt it, let the servers merge and let the people obsessed with loot farming continue their warped mindset of pixel grinding forever? I disagree. The concept of Kerafyrm was flawed by the devs - who probably had good intentions in regards to story* telling - and by the virtue of P99 being a clone it's flawed all the same. What remains is the playerbase wishing to see what they couldn't all those years ago, and is that any different from the desire of someone wanting their best-in-slot item from a warder? Isn't it the exact same? Is an item more important than waking the sleeper, when both are just a dream or a memory of something you never had?

Unless you have a good reason for green/blue to continue indefinitely while consuming the lives of the people who play it until they die of a pulmonary embolism I would call any argument against finality disingenuous. The end needs to happen, otherwise there is no meaning to whatever item you obtained from the warder. What is more disingenuous than greed for the sake of it? What is the purpose of blue, or the green that bleeds onto it? How can someone be a dick for preventing others from wasting their lives on an emu server at the end of it's rope?

I wasn't saying that the sleeper should never be awakened. The ogre was saying that he can't understand why people were upset, so I explained some of the reasons. The social aspects were a big part of why a lot of people were/are upset. A ST leader is on the record saying that they wouldn't wake it before more people got to experience the content. Some in ST also believe that Kingdom broke encounter rules to obtain a number of keys, so waking the sleeper was to give Kingdom the finger.

In a social context, being dishonest/not sticking with your word, and being spiteful are behaviors that people tend to not like. This is why many people were upset and this is why a group of guilds teamed up to kill Yelinak to show their disatisfaction.

For transparency's sake, I'm a member of Kingdom, but my play time the last year is so limited that i have like a 3% raid attendance, so there is no way I was ever going to get a key. It doesn't really impact me personally, and I'm not personally angry. That said, I can still call a duck a duck when it quacks in our collective faces.
