FTE is Fing stupid

[quido]

You're right, it's a lot easier these days. And sometimes it's really nice to be on cruise control and not worry about it. But at the same time, the purest of us miss how it was a year ago.

I think it's really pathetic how little credit you people give everyone. Yes, we set the bar high, but our game is pretty loose these days really (depending on the day). It is so much easier NOW to make a move on the top dog. When we first started making a move on TR, do you know how many people in our force had dragon haste? Very very few! There was no Ixiblat, there was no Ragefire feeding CoFs to people day after day after day. Anyone with the right class makeup and some balls can goto sky with a couple groups and clear the entire zone. So to say that you're being held down from progressing is absurd. You can get 36+% haste, you can get sky haste, you can get a shitload of resist gear. People managed to kill shit before there were epics and VP, in case you didn't know. You don't need a fucking necro epic or a crown of rile to go kill Talendor.

If you're some up-and-coming guild and you want a shot at Sev or whatever, get there before us and show us that you're serious about trying. Do this and we'll probably cut you a break and give you an engage (I know I'm in favor of such a prospect) before trying to tag it ourselves. It's not fucking rocket science. You just need a plan and a little bit of willpower. Don't just bumble around and expect chance to converge upon your wishes. If you want something... TAKE IT! You don't have to commit your life to it. Do what you can with what you have, and if you remain persistant, I guarantee you that fortune will eventually smile upon you. You have to give yourself a fucking chance to succeed. You might be surprised what you're capable of.

BDA has the means. They have the right strategy (choosing battles). Where you lack is not beyond your control - it is a simple choice. You lack in mojo. Mojo is a zero sum resource, bros. The more you demonstrate, the less we have. Let's see some fucking mojo and see if momentum can carry you like it did us. I really thought this summer would (once again) be when we saw a real contender step up and challenge the #1. Oh well, maybe next year =P
