False. This isn't RNF btw. Try to act with decorum of the forum we post in. I understand you want to deflect blame, but remember most of us were there on those spawns and saw it with our own eyes.

Don't think I was at either gategate or CotHgate.

But I believe the gate situation was... nagafen?

We saw what TMO and IB did on the previous one or two FFAs. You'd aggro all the FGs and train them away while a 52 warrior and 52 Donals Cleric offtanked nagafen while the rest of you dealt with your train.

We saw that and figured, we don't have any Donals but would still like to compete, so we decided to bind a few clerics and druids there so that we could do the same strategy of training away Giants while offtanking the dragon while the main force kills said Giants.

Ended up getting a ruling that binding nearby was not allowed.

Regardless to quote Unbrella:

P99 needs fewer rules. The more rules you've created the less creativity there is for overcoming 'competition' and more creativity in rule lawyering the grey area.

A rule was added which reduced creativity as a result of rule lawyering. We had an obstacle we met (not being able to utilize the same strategy that allowed our competition to offtank a dragon while the real challenge the 20 fire giant train is dealt with), we decided we didn't want to farm 400k to buy one so we came up with that strategy, which was a creative way to allow us to compete.

Your guilds didn't need to gate since you could just face track with your MT and BP Cleric and duo Naggy while the rest of the force lazily clears in or deals with the trains.

CotHing I'm pretty sure was just the raid leaders figuring that everyone read the rules the same and that CotHing to engage was the next clear path of FTE. There was even discussion about it beforehand whether it should be allowed or not on these forums.

After the first dragon everyone did it, whether we were there or not. Pretty sure this is still the case. How was FFA VS at 4 AM? A foot race or a CotH race? Genuinely curious... Cause I don't think you have foot racers chilling for FFA targets when we aren't even there. You bring Mages regardless.
