For me the Holiday bonus events ruin the holidays.

and yes, for the record i was there first, players just showed up and started killing my mobs, but im not about to start a PNP war or waste GMs time with a petition for a game most of us are playing casually, but it's like.... idk, i just see these events as clearly toxic, and mostly exploited by the elites of the server, again, double spawn rate would honestly be a better system

Damn high levels killing my mobs for loot when I actually need the xp.

i experienced lots of garbage from garbage people on Sunday.

heres some effects from such a crazy bonus like this:

- Newer players get to experience bonus XP, loot and fun. Brought a 6 person group to a classic old-world camp and got 3 people upgrades in about 2 hours time. Because of the vendor trash dropped, they were also able to make some plat as a result.
- Newer players get to push through the hell levels: had two members of the team go from 50% of 45 to 46 in < 2 hours.

Also though:
- Camp fiends, pixel-sick sweatlords and people levelling their 13th alt poopsock exp and group content camps. Self-explanatory
- Newer players get to experience the pixel-sickness
- Newer players get to experience dick behavior from the pixel-sick slags who have been around servers for 5, 10, 15+ years. Got trained twice by the same level 60 player with my level 45 group of casuals, because the level 60 was trying to leapfrog us to our end destination.
- Newer players get a taste of the bonus, while sweatlords and scumbags dominate the high-value camps.

I don't raid anymore, so I didn't experience any of that - but I bet it was glorious.

Everyone knows XP weekends / holiday weeks is the time to get out your level 46 full ToV geared alts and flex on noobs.

sammoHung sounds like a "casual" warmbody who never worked for his loot and complains the top guilds take all the loot

my fav is when its people wearing 300k worth of gear on their twink acting like they need grobb or felwith guards more than me, meanwhile i'm wearing cloth armor in certain slots, and can't afford my spells

like these people actually show up and act like im really inconveniencing because they need my camp so bad

im not asking for special treatment, nor do i want it, but when these people act like they need the crap more than me it's just like uh??

im not sure how to quantify velious raid loot in terms of plat since rarely the good stuff is sold, but my alts likely were all 1 million+ plat worth for level 46

Maybe they got their gear funded by a loan or on rental and they got repayments/rent to make sharp before the no drops get deleted?
