How were we different from any other app except that we came over in bulk?

Self-respect, I guess?

Is that what you think?

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?

There were probably about 8-12 people who were actually against the merger straight up. A lot were skeptical, but most were willing to see how it would play out. The most vocal dissenters were nonfactors and AFK trackers and people with less than 10% attendance. Hence what Alarti's post that I quoted is about.

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.

Yes I was on the old boards... and the drama was the same habitual drama offenders, you, oli, tortue and 1% raid attend zenorek. Then of course Zeelot and Darkdeath lost their fucking marbles.

It's worked out well. Fountree's right in the fact the guild is fundamentally changed from what it was a year ago, and it's sad to see that. It's unfortunate that the merge had (which I don't personally agree with) to happen. TMO vs IB vs FE would have been the best outcome for the server.

But what's the best outcome for my alts gear slots?

I'd merge with IB tomorrow if it meant uncontested class C, Fuck competition I just want better gear than the rest of the EC tunnel.

I, for one, am quite comfortable with the current situation. It's not without its faults (some of which are reasonably severe), but the guild's likely never been more productive or respectable in my personal view.

Thanks for your input xasten.
