P99 is a Meritocracy, not a Democracy

Imagine melting down and throwing a tantrum over having to share pixels.

Everyone, just back away very slowly and give OP plenty of space....

We dont know if he is armed and if the Elf Police have to be called on him we dont know if he would raise up arms against them and force their hand to cut him down w their blades in self-defense...

That's it. I can't take it. I've had enough. This is the last straw. The final stroke. I've been pushed beyond the limit of any man. I'm officially boycotting this shitty game and this god damn server. You'll never see me again. So long. Goodbye. See you never, losers.


unreleated but will it quake today? I can't log in for like another 30 minutes.

Ever consider that if you guys didn't act like such petulant children, the GMs wouldn't be so quick to give your toys to the rest of the server?

Try new diet p99 blue. now with 10% less competition

[Wrei]

It's hilarious to see him crying about no competition when he doesn't address the most obvious reason as to why it's the case. Competition in his mind is all about who gets the FTE and a guild able to tank and spank the boss. P99 competition however is having 4+ targets in a + or - 24h window on a typical raid week, having 20 alts parked on target 1, teams of trackers taking shifts to hit that batphone like working at a McDonald's, sweaty neckbeards at the race line waiting to be the big hero. All the resources online on top of cheating 3rd party software like GINA isn't the reason why casuals can't compete. It's because of the big time variance.

If GM's abolished super draft, but instead reduced the 7 day cycle to a 6 hour window and the 3 days to a 2 hour window, a lot of the mid tier guilds going nowhere atm would bother to show up and try to do these bosses. Sure they would most likely fail early on in getting the FTE or even executing the fight but given enough time there actually would be real competition on the mobs and not about who can take a shit the longest while waiting 15+hours for a pop. I mean some of these clowns are sweaty enough to even sock a quake... then they wonder why the majority can't or won't join their sockfest.

That would be an even bigger shitshow with 500 people desyncing the zone and training and petitioning each other every spawn.

It would, however, make RnF more fun.

I disagree. The early weeks would be chaotic with people/guilds not understanding how to plan things properly. Kael and ToV could be a shitshow if 2 or 3 of the big guilds show up to contest a dragon, but I'd argue it already is one at times. Also blue at best has around 500 players online on average, your estimate is wrong here.

If 7 day bosses were reduced to a + or - 3 hour variance instead of 24, then every mid tier guild would start recruiting aggressively, set themselves a target that wouldn't be a priority and then plan things once they know the timer after a quake.

Big guilds will still prioritize KT/Doze/Statue but due to no double FTE rules, it would open a window for smaller guilds to get at least an attempt or two on the lesser targets and work from there. By the time the bigger guilds are done fighting over the top prized targets, almost all of the mid/lesser targets will have been cleaned out by 5+ guilds eventually, sort of emulating raiding tier content without actually enforcing it.

Guilds that still contest everything and "compete" will be shown to actually want competition. The twats that cry on discord or R&F about how "everyone is out to get them" will show their true colors when they avoid going head to head and try to snipe a lesser target from a smaller guild.

Just sick and tired of some of these clowns yapping about competition when it's not about racing or executing a fight but rather who can stand at a spot while furiously fapping for hours about the pixels they might get.

This game has been played over 23 years now. The tech has changed. There's YT, Wikis, discord, 3rd party apps, guidance from veterans that have done this shit thousands of times. At least the sweaty nerds on WoW can rub their nipples when they get a world server first kill on a brand new expansion to a boss nobody has seen. Just what the fuck did you accomplish here? I swear some of these kids feel so proud sitting down 18 hours on their shit bucket while drinking beer which conveniently can be used as an urinal. Or a guild leader that berates you for not socking hard enough...I get it, everyone has their own motivation playing this game. But please, don't act like you set some fucking Guiness record on something, there's no gold medal in the Olympics for being unemployed and friendless. Hope this helps the OP of this thread.

8 guilds showing up at once... The zone would desync, because historically that's happened. Population wouldn't be 500 in a 6 hour window. The casuals would have a poopsock party, because historically that has happened, even back in the days when the average population peak was 400 on a Friday night. Make things accessible and people will show up to access it.

I agree with most of what you say though.

Most of these "kids" are 40+ years old. They just happen to be less accomplished than you, maybe. Accomplished meaning outside of P99, obvs.
