Uthgaard was certainly a fucking asshole but I'll be fucking damned to Hellfire if he isn't the Jesus Christ of P99

I remember when we couldn't stop petitioning each other over sky when it first opened and Uthgaard just kept death touching everyone (both guilds) in zone over and over until we stopped petitioning.

It worked.

Draw a line in the sand that is not to be crossed while competing (FTE, etc), and stop being baited into arguing about it in public. No modern game staff discusses their decisions in public at all. Most rarely give more than form responses in private.
survival of the fittest, huh? in context, it's more like survival of the fattest... but you never were the brightest marble in the shed, were you? because the server will not be able to sustain itself if a single entity goes back to monopolizing all of the raid content again. it's simply an idiotic solution to drive away users rather than rationing (or even increasing) the content available to make sure at least some of them have a chance at seeing end-game.

one guild with alts parked at every raid target is not a healthy raid scene. and nobody wants to play petitionquest with class C. we might as well start referring to them as class P.

or piss for short.

Can anybody translate this statement for me? Sounds like utter bullshit to me.
