Trakanon Rotation

What is "legit" competing? The arbitrarily rules on this server that, if the staff were so willing, could be built into the mechanics of the game (FTE = locked encounter)? All I gather from these forums is that it seems TMO prefer rules of "competition" that favor long hours at the computer or awaiting a 4am batphone because they know they'll always have an advantage in terms of hours they can play.

The ability to butthurt TMO in VP is a prime example of the ability for other guilds to compete when the rules don't weigh heavily in favor of those who simply can play longer hours or are more willing to sacrifice sleep or other social commitments to play this game.

If GM intervention in raids were removed altogether then there would be trains, memblurs, antisocial tactics, etc, until all guilds agreed that a rotation system (or some other set of player-derived rules) would be better than having a shit show of sorts.

I'm guessing you don't understand how TMO sees things - butthurt in VP?
VD used an exploit, an acknowledged bug, to try to hold us back until we would cave to their demands on Trakanon and VP.

Guess what? It didn't work. We cleared all of VP last week and ya know what -we'll clear all of VP this week. Memblur or not.

Look at it from an outside perspective. VD attempted to grief us on mobs they weren't even attempting to kill, using an known bug (soon to be corrected - shame VD can't even train properly - not much they can do at all after the bug is corrected) in order to utilize this grief as a bargaining chip.

TMO, on the other hand, saw this merely as a new, unique challenge to be overcome.
Which we did.

Do you want to know what Trak rotation I support as a long standing TMO member? In my opinion (which I know is a sentiment shared by many others in the guild):
We should not negotiate with terrorists.
Period.

We would not negotiate then when VD used a known bug/exploit to block us for several days in VP. So why in the ever loving fuck would we negotiate now that we know how to overcome the memblur? We have much less of an incentive for any kind of talks after behavior like that from VD.

So VD feels they deserve a shot in VP? Step the hell up and compete. Don't expect it to be handed to you on a silver platter like an entitled trust fund baby. Same with Trakanon. Keep telling yourselves its all random FTE on mobs like Trakanon. After 2 months when the numbers are skewed 4 or 5 TMO Trak kills to each 1 VDs you can keep telling yourself that its random but the facts will show it to be otherwise.

TMO cleared out VP. We will keep farming it like we're Amish. Also got the last couple Traks. We're stepping it up. I hope we can get to the point where VD isn't getting 1 mob in 10. What will help is the rallying cry "Remember the Memblur". Thank you for giving us that.

No negotiation with the shadow; no negotiations with people who blatantly used these kind of terrorist tactics to try to force an agreement.
No lasting peace can ever come through the attempted use of terror.
