Furthermore, by pure accident, one of the class R guilds was killing a summoning mob during our CT engage. It made the fight extremely difficult and we just barely wiped. When CT spawns are guilds no longer allowed to damage trash or can we just keep a few mobs at 90% parked for when IB goes for a CT on repop?

And this is where I as a former staff member disagreed with how things are allowed. I personally don't think you should be allowed to kite fear en mass for cazic or draco. Then there wouldn't be any issues with trains. People would clear as much as they can in fear, (2+ guilds would clear it pretty fast or most of) and there would be next to no issues. Is it perfect? no Will it derail any chance of bard a or b fucking up and training the competing guild? Yes

If the guilds stay logged in when a guild engages cazic, then it's on them if they gain aggro. Some people like that idea, some don't. That's my personal feelings on that issue in fear.

If a guild is killing stuff that can summon in fear, and your guild wants to risk attacking cazic, then that's the risk. At worse case, you have one person get summoned before guild_001 zergs down cazic.

The bottom line has always been if you are aggro on mobs it is your responsibility for what they do if you lose/keep aggro. This isn't me being hard headed, it is how the rules are stated. It is your choice of risk vs reward to kite/train shit. It has always been a rule not to kite/train shit, but Sirken deems it not a big deal and turns a blind eye to it cause "shit happens". Then shit like this happens and everyone loses their mind and someone gets punished, and corruption is claimed.

Remove the aspect of training shit around, and you remove the risk of being punished for how you are bending the rules.

You have to remember the rules are there to prevent this stuff from happening. Inconsistency with rulings, and punishments ( yes, I agree with tmo that they got fucked on that, compared to IB's one dragon suspension) are an issue. It has been an issue since Amelinda was here. I know it's a shocker, but I never had any final decision about how long any guild's suspension should be.

I was always in favor of one week, and working up adding a week after each offense. It can be harsh when you get to the point you are constantly breaking rules, but it will also nudge the guilds back and remove the problem causers who earn guild suspensions.

Sirken and Deru aren't all mighty and do make mistakes. In the end they try and give an environment to try and make it so everyone can enjoy the server, and not be fucked over because someone/guild is breaking rules causing deaths/wipes. When they become nice such as allowing guilds in fear/vp to train shit around by turning a blind eye, it gives the illusion saying it's ok to do and gives everyone a free pass. Until the hammer falls because another guild caused the other to wipe. Then everyone loses their fucking minds. Then you end up in this situation with 50000 word essays.
