So you don't follow server rules yet think you are entitled to kill raid mobs?
You think that server rules dictate that you need to stare at pixel walls for 16 hours? You'd be wrong.

And pathetic.

How do you top guilds expect other lower guilds to "compete" if they never even get a shot at these raids to learn them? Would it really be that detrimental to you guys if say for example, you were just like were not gunna contest Tormax (or whoever) for the next week? Pretty funny seeing former Taken members take this elitist attitude, you guys have literally become what you used to hate, and it wasn't out of skill it was out of a guild merger.

A/A is worse than TMO because at least TMO was honest about who they were and their intentions where A/A pretends to love competition but really they just have the same goals as TMO did and that's to lock down all the raid content from everybody on the server not wearing their guild tag which they have admitted to

Eventually there will be nobody left to dangle the carrot in front of and these guys will have that dead server all to themselves that they seem to want so badly

When you ask for things try to not insult with the other half of your mouth during your proposal Mr Anonymous person.

You know nothing Jon Snow.

There are test servers people can make and go test out the fight there, like aftermath did and then come back and complain less

List of things we've learned we need to compete with a/a (let me know if I miss any):

1. At least one person to leave a computer on all day
2. Multiple people to look at a camera pointed at #1
3. Batphone to distribute info gleaned from #2
4. Voice chat and a mic
5. Your own private server where you can practice
6. Enough people to staff a 16 hour racing window where even if all things are equal the chance of your guild winning is 1/3 or 1/4.

You do this week after week after week after week etc. Do you know what an opportunity cost is?

None of this is true, it used to be true but now hell I just log in and kill a few dragons log off dont even track or do anything much anymore. you can still be casual and be in aftermath or awakened its not like tmo or rampage or forsaken where you had to track 10+ hours a day, you can just log in and get a few kills or even group if you want too no one is making you really do anything thats what guilds like csg omni etc dont understand they talk shit but real life comes first hell as detoxx said he makes money and works alot hes not on every raid, I know im not, sure we have batphones but so do the other guilds. name one guild besides like blackheart pirates or kittens or what not that doesnt have a batphone? and number 5 isnt true at all you really dont know shit. we arent the only guild to have a test server either I know atleast 4 that do.

Which is larger: The population of casual driven off by A/A, or the number of A/A's own members who've burnt out and quit?

Hey Zekay, still hanging out in DAOC?
