If anything, the opposite is true. Overcoming opposition that started with a clear advantage gives your achievements more merit that those who did the same with no opposition.

This is pretty much it. I might actually go as far as to say its 99% true in most cases... I've been in a "world first" style guild during SWTOR and found out that they got the mechanics given to them to try out on raid bosses. Makes their world first mean jack shit IMO.

lol hell of a necro!

really though, a lot of the boss firsts here were broken encounters

Baubarian > Stealin in every way possible.

Stealin was in fucking upperguk when baub was raiding.

You're one of those "He was born before you so therefore everything he did was better than what you'll ever do" type of people huh?

No wonder you're so fucking stupid.

You forgot to mention the hand cuffs/electric tazers and batons that was present at the time of this incident.

well to get specifics right stealin was in uguk when i was in uguk! my friend sold him 2 woven grass bracers or w/e they were called to help buy us gear

so there was stealin, probably with thousands of plat, while i struggled to buy banded. now who overcame adversity?! THIS GUY!

I do like the part where you're so proud of overcoming the gear disadvantage you guys had though. I mean we're ignoring the fact that you were farming sky before kunark was released and the only gear you need to kill dragons is made by an enchanter rite?

Yeah I was around for awhile, just never really cared about raiding back then.

I played around in the planes some before Kunark with TMO but never anything serious (TMO didn't have enough dedicated then to be serious about it). About a week before Kunark I stopped playing and rejoined around August. TMO was moving toward more serious raiding (with the merge) and I was dtf.

Farming SKY? I wouldn't say TMO was farming that much of sky and it's true that resist gear is mostly all that is needed for the dragons. However, when your guild (IB) is decked out in dragon haste/god loot (+more sky loot), it helps. So you guys had the gear to do it with less, where as other guilds had to form up and use more people. With batphones the way they are, your guild can pull sooner where as another has to rely on more members logging in (with an even #'s race). Gaining DA members who had farmed most of SKY prekunark definitely helped. However, (as everyone knows) IB gained nearly as many DA members as TMO.

So yeah, I'd say TMO did overcome the gear advantage held by IB. You can call it being proud, I just see it as how it is.

PS - I'm glad I could aid you in your rags to riches story Baub! <Seriously, I'm glad I could help someone on the server get to a point that they would challenge my awesomeness. Best investment ever.>
