TMO's reputation is horrible. Somewhat unjustly, I think. But yea, I don't think anyone is going to argue that TMO isn't universally hated.

Ahahaha, bullshit. We deserved every bit of it. That doesn't change suddenly when you're on the same side.

Those were definitely good times pre-kunark and early kunark.

Nope, don't see it. Haven't seen it since you left, or were removed for being a thief, whatever the case was. The guild is happy. You're the only one beating this drum.

Just yesterday heard some long time TMO members in vent talking about how they were against the merge a before it happened, but now they are grateful because they gained a lot of solid members who put in work. Also, they said the merger drove out a lot of toxic assholes which was also a huge plus and helped the guild's atmosphere tremendously. I'm paraphrasing for length, but the content is unchanged.

You're not exposed to it. Boards were moved (alot of the drama contained on old board), members were insulted/ignored, people disbanded, people quit, All of it's already happened. The new guild might be working out nicely for you. I'm sure theres some nice people. I mean, I leveled with Sloan, I consider him a friend and we talked the first week he formed FE on how TMO operated raid-wise. I talked to him frequently when you formed to try to help you guys succeed. I harbor no hate for FE. I do harbor hate for this new leadership who thought they could push people around, force things on others and take no slack for it.

Fountree you are annoying. Where is the widespread animosity? We had a handful of people leave most of which were constant annoyances in guild anyways. They were just tolerated previously (like you).

Just out of curiosity. Why is it that you and this "old tmo" faction were against the merge? Wasn't it the smart move? I'd be fucking happy if my guild went from struggling one week, to absorbing half the competition and crushing everyone a week later.

Before the merge, when FE was still deciding what to do, I was asked which guild I'd rather join. And I said IB. I wanted to beat TMO while I was in FE. It's the only reason I played, tracked, responded to batphones or did anything. I put it behind me the moment my guild decided to merge with them, because it was never personal, it was just competition. I can't even fathom how you guys could be so upset with the prospect of getting a huge influx of motivated raiders, while dealing a huge blow to your competition at the same time. Was it personal? Did you hate us for taking mobs from you? Did TMO need to be some exclusive club, even if it meant dying right before Velious? I'm genuinely interested in understanding your mindset. How were we different from any other app except that we came over in bulk?

TMO wants competition... to join them.
