To derubael's post:

how bout that rule being posted? why are none of the rulings EVER posted..... are we supposed to just remember every single ruling ever handed down? and why has this never been enforced? its been done on both sides plenty of times since you become a guide and NO punishment has EVER come from it.... i mean i have plenty of fraps of IB doing while i was raiding with them, and its happened a few times since i've been with tmo.... this has NEVER resulted in a punishment.

Can we please at least be consistent with rulings? instead of one week it be one thing and the next week it be something else? this has been an issue for as long as i've raided..... just clearly define situations and make a FAQ and put in raid discussion as a sticky then at least its posted (and this can be updated with each new ruling if something isnt clear about previous rulings) this might have an upfront time cost (minimal considering the time you already spend on things) and should save you plenty in the long run.... and it should stop most arguments
At that particular point in the server, we didn't have much in the ways of concrete rule postings. There were only 2-3 guilds raiding on a regular basis, so we would just relay new stuff to officers/leaders and they'd hand it on down to everyone else. People kept asking for a rules post, but there were so many different little "things" to write up and so much CSR work to do that we simply didn't have time. What we DID do was go to all three major guilds and ask them to use their significant numbers and community driven sourcework to make their OWN rules posts, PM it to us, and then we could easily sort it all together into the official rules set.

I asked for this dozens of times and not a single one of the 200+ people raiding at that time wanted to put the time into writing it all down. Wait, this isn't entirely true - two players did do a very decent write-up that was meant as a "rough draft" for their guild, but they specifically stated it wasn't guild sanctioned and didn't want it used. They still play here and can claim credit if they'd like [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That particular rule didn't get violated for a long time after it was made. If people were getting trained because of traktouches after that, I've never seen a petition about it, or known that it was happening, until last night.

Edit:

Dolic - curious to see the reasoning for this. I can only see making the guilds with more Trakanon experience (the IB's and TMo's) be more careful and making sure they are ready when they engage helping class R guilds compete on trak kills. Won't be able to read your response until later, but will definitely check it out.

actually, by definition, he looted something that the server was about to delete, anyway, and thus had no owner to claim it as stolen.

Server rules state that whomever kills a dragon owns its loot. Actually...

like i said, /twist

TMO could have been pals and allowed someone else to loot the axe.

but they didn't.

and that's why the rest of us know you as the scum of the server.

We might have allowed someone else to loot the item.. however anthrax took that choice from us. We often open up loot to whomever is in zone. Sorry buddy the facts don't support your statement.

In those days you opened it up to whomever had 250k to spend on rots. Not arguing about the ninja looting, though the version of events I always heard was Anthrax was baited into looting it.

Would love to see this transcript. Little chance that happened but I would love to see Anthrax's defense.

I was there. I even told his ass not to do it. But it was rotting and like 3 secs remaining on that piece of shit.

But no reason to get anthrax suspended.

Don't let Alarti fool you. He petitions more than anyone else. Even zeelot had to tell him to quit shitting all over petition section due to fucking everything up. That's another reason why petitionquest sucked and took so long to get resolved.
