not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

What I don't get is at this point is it not considered griefing to monopolize content to this extent? If a guild on this server composed of all high level characters made it a mission to go and monopolize every newbie zone in the game insuring that no new character could level up from 1-5 would the GMs not step in and stop them? Or would newbies have to run around trying to FTE rats and bats?

Look I dislike the insane alpha-nerd competition that goes on on this server. But griefing? That's ridiculous. TMO simply designed their guild to play the variance game (a copy of IB's original model, and FE the latest instance). You get a whole bunch of players who really want the pixels, you give DKP for tracking, you recruit worldwide, etc etc. It's not TMO's fault that Velious is going to take 3 years to come out. Do you really expect a bunch of hardcore EQers to just say 'eh, we'll just all go on vacation for 2 years?'

Plush, i like you but come on now griefing? It'd be pretty hard to monopolize 50+ mobs in 9+ starting zones, but in the raiding scene there is no where else to move to after being 2 and a half years overdue for velious, so we try to keep entertained with what we currently have to raid which is pretty limited considering the amount of level 60's on two and a half years of stagnant content

Was just asking a question. A few days ago FC was in Hate with a full raid force clearing the zone when Inny popped and within moments TMO and FE were in there making a disaster out of our raid. How hard would it have been for you guys to come up and say "oh hey, this guild is already here with a sufficient force, let's back down for a while and let them try it out?" Instead of just turned into a massive cluster eff that literally ruined our evening. Even though we did manage to get FTE and awarded loot, we were denied a chance to even attempt the kill legitimately because of ePeen nonsense. This is the type of deliberate stomping on lesser guilds' fun that strikes me as griefing more than just trying to keep entertained.

I understand wanting to try and keep the game fun with nowhere else to go in the game but host a newbie race and give away some banked loot to the winner or have some in-game weddings to help lighten the mood on the server. I've grouped with bunch of TMO folks over the course of Plush's life and there's a lot of legitimately cool people there but why do I never hear stories of TMO magnanimity? It's just stomping and hoarding and stomping and more stomping. Is a Full Circle ranger or necro getting an epic really going to hurt TMO's chance at dominance in Velious?

your guild is lead by retards and it shows. after the ooa attempt and ninjaing dojorn it's clear that you deserve no sympathy. and you can thank fe for the clusterfuck since their tactic is just train mobs on inny pullers until they have the pull and then FFA the fte

tmo and fe go for inny because they want him. nothing is stopping you from doing the same

Lol how you gonna make a post like this and then try and defend your guilds actions and policies, damn!

Mav you should really be informed before insulting someone for just being newerish - Xarz is one of the most clutch players we have now, new or not.

I didn't know that being retarded and trying new things just for the sake of having fun without being hell bent on "winning" were the same thing. Also I wasn't there for any of that, so please continue to try and spare some sympathy for me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
