Coth Ducking

While I applaud your efforts to rid the server of this absurd practice, I remain a bit perplexed as to the source of your objections to this tactic since

YOU ARE THE STUPID DUMB ASS MOTHERFUCKERS THAT STARTED THIS WHOLE SHIT. YOU, TAKEN, DRAGGED THE SHITTY RAID SCENE ON THIS SERVER INTO EVEN MORE OF A SHITTY PLACE WHEN YOU "WON" AN FFA NAGGY BY COTH DUCKING THE LAST HOUR. THEN LAST WEEK YOU WERE COTH DUCKING FUCKING SHITTY ASS TALENDOR 1 HOUR INTO WINDOW.

SO YOU ALL CAN GET FUCKED. YOU ARE ALL SHITTY ASS SCUMBAGS WHO WILL RESORT TO ALL SORTS OF SHITTY BEHAVIOR TO GET MOBS.

I've asked for a long time now to have duck casting made classic like it is on red.

And look what happens.

Color me SHOCKED.

by your own admission you've always been unwilling to earn your pixels.

Don't be angry that you were stupid enough to track for 96 hours at a shot.

You weren't getting many pixels before the rotation. One could also say that BDA had every reason to "spearhead for the rotation" since they weren't really a powerful raiding force on the server prior to the changes. They had everything to gain from it; just step in line and wait for your welfare pixels. Unlike before the changes when you occasionally got a vox or Inny kill, or maybe snagged a few mobs during a repop.

You should be thanking those who were in FE for standing up to TMO back then. BDA certainly wouldn't have been able to make enough of a splash in the raiding scene to bring about reform in the raiding scene; by your own admission you've always been unwilling to earn your pixels.

if you honestly believe that rhetoric you're dumber than i thought you were. FE accomplished nothing until IB started holding their hand. FE didn't bring about any sort of reform, TMO and IB/FE turning every single encounter into a complete shitshow to the point where the staff threw their hands up brought reform. Now you've merged into TMO which makes the entire thing even more laughable.

BDA is always willing to "earn" our pixels but we aren't going to sink to your fucking levels of despicable behavior to do it. We actually have some integrity unlike all you FE fucks who's entire existence was to stop TMO only to join them.

It's almost a necessity at this point because people can't help themselves.

For example every-fucking-thing on this server is monetized at the moment. If you're a cleric leveling up and you want an epic it's usually easier to just farm some cash and MQ for it instead of you know questing for it. There will be some TMO fuck sitting their FD waiting for Ragefire to spawn so he can duo it for the 398745897th time. Fuck that new guy who just wants to kill it once for his epic.

Now apply that logic to raid mobs. If TMO and IB had it their way they'd kill every mob every time until the entire server dries up because that makes them feel warm and tingly or something. That's right, depriving others of loot makes them feel good. The anonymity the internet provides allows for this shitfuck behavior.

When Velious drops they'll dissolve the raid class system and TMO/IB will still be chasing premium content such as Trak/VS/PD/Hoshkar and occasionally Inny/CT. Fuck the casual raider. God forbid the casual raider would want to even see ST someday.

If you enjoy playing everquest and just derping around then p99 is right for you. If you plan on raiding at the highest levels then be ready to check your integrity at the door. You must stoop to some preposterous levels to get the best pixels. If you're ok with acting like a shitcock over the internet then join TMO or IB and shit on anyone that gets in your way, but at least you'll have shiny pixels.

ftfy

The day they pull the plug it won't bother me one bit, but some of these neckbeards stake their entire identities on this server.

How is it projecting?

It's a confirmed fact that TMO and IB give no shits about the health of the server. Unbrella even told me in vent that TMO would ally with IB to keep loot out of casual hands as long as it preserved the TMO/IB way of life.

10+ class R guilds in under a month have done what TMO/IB/TR/DA etc etc hadn't been able to do in 4+ years. The problem with the raidscene isn't that there's too many capable guilds, it isn't because velious isn't out (protip: it's not going to solve everything) it's because of the mentality of the hardcore player. He always needs more, everyone else be damned. There's never enough for them. Does someone really need to kill ragefire every single time he spawns? Probably not. Is that mindset good for the health of the server? I don't think so.

Once someone gets past that nostalgic fix and wants to progress to actually accomplishing some goals in the game they run smack into that mentality. Will you ever see your epic Mr. Newbie SK? Probably not unless you want to join TMO or IB and raid like an asshole. A particular raid style shouldn't be a prerequisite to raiding on p99.

So, no more reason to "spearhead the rotation" than any other guild currently in the rotation, right?

The difference is Chest/BDA caught most of the flack from the Class C guilds when it meant someone besides "hardcore shitcocks" (to use the eloquent terminology above) could potentially get pixels. And he STILL gets most of the flack because Class C feels he is the player most directly responsible for allowing non-hardcore players to have access to pixels (probably hurting some of that RMT operation most likely going on for some rent money, amirite?)

This has always been about Class C guilds judging casuals and their playstyles "undeserving of Class C's pixels" because they weren't playing the game the way the Class C guilds wanted to play (as if someone gave the Class C guilds the right to decide how raiding on the server should be for EVERYONE), which is largely unenjoyable even for most of the members of the Class C guilds.

But -- of course -- we can't expect them to admit that, be shunned by their guilds, and get less pixels. Gotta play along and talk the talk to get those pixels, right?
