Also, I think this was a pretty pointless thread. Every guild on this server is filled with people who are cocks about camping rights. I don't think this really reflects that heavily on DA as a guild.

That said, am I the only one who finds this weird? I see plenty of people who have nice remarks about individuals in DA. However every single person I have heard mention DA as a whole, be it in game, on the forums, or on IRC that isn't a member of DA, thinks it's a guild full of lying, cheating, training, exploiting, assholes who would stab their own mothers in the back for loot.

Now, I can understand this coming FROM IB as DA is their only real competition at present. It totally makes sense that they would fabricate things to try and make DA look bad. I get that. Just, why does everyone else seem to say the exact same thing? If DA is a guild of reasonably well behaved and friendly individuals, why is there so much hate? Is the entire server just buying into IBs propaganda and giving DA an unfair shake? Or is this reputation somewhat deserved?

Seriously. I want to know this. If it's just some sort of jealousy, why don't people feel as strongly about IB? I get that IB is disliked by a large portion of the population, and I'm sure some of their actions have earned them that disapproval. They may deserve it all and more. With DA however, people REALLY hate you guys. Like, they saw a picture of you fisting their mother or something kind of dislike. If you guys are as upstanding as you make yourself out to be, why is this the prevalent feeling toward your guild as a whole?
My guess is that, on the individual level, they are cool people. However, when they get together as a guild to do this or that, mob mentality takes over, and they do whatever it takes to get their ph@t lewtz. Either they get their collective greed on, or the leadership is doing it, or some combination of both. Once again, that's my GUESS, but in general humans become worse people the more of us you get together.

Personally, I've ran into several very cool DA people, and some of my guildies are members there now. I've also ran into some snotty annoying worthless players from there, on their twink alts (since I'm not raiding yet), but that's like 2 people in 2 separate incidents to 4 or 5 good incidents.

Last thing to mention - people remember bad things over good things. Some might say "one bad apple ruins the bunch", but I prefer "Build a hundred bridges, but you suck one dick...."

Also, it's PAINFULLY obvious that the OP's motives here were to get dirt on a guild that he has a personal vendetta against. His mission is accomplished if just a few people look down on Phallax for the way he acted and as a result look down on DA.

For the record, DA, it'll take a lot more than a pathetic little trollage like this to get me to think differently of you guys. Mission failed here.

Who ever mentioned the "people remember bad over good" couldnt be any closer to the truth.

Its sadly how the world works. I do my fair share in game of good. Giving camps up so an exp group can have at it, giving numerous items away, helping people out of a jam, helping break camps, buffs etc etc. But I have 1 bad day and shit hits the fan, its sadly the human race merit system.

Its just like teachers/bosses/parents. Anyone in a "leadership" position is quicker to discipline the lessers for 1 bad action than they are to reward them for 10 good actions.

What do you mean you have "1 bad day?" Do you mean you up and decided to be a douchebag that day because you wanted the camp? Or are you saying that you were in a shitty mood for whatever reason and acted unreasonably?

So now you're admitting that you were a dick?

Mostly the OP's tone of voice and how he has continuously tried to drag Phallax's ENTIRE guild (or prospective guild) through the mud in this thread despite some very diplomatic efforts from Loke to prevent that.

Sure, after he posted this he obviously doesn't like the person/guild.

But, this part of your previous post....

....does not make sense with the initial post/complaint. I don't see how in any way he was going out of his way to dig up dirt on a guild he has a "personal vendetta against" by trying to defend a camp he had been waiting at for 4 hours.

After seeing this progress to nearly 20 pages, I can't figure out if the OP is an evil genius or not.

He's gotten people involved on multiple levels.
