Love how BDA is defending against a lot of the same accusations they were throwing at class C guilds, and using the same arguments class C did. Anyone remember Taken saving BDA at naggy? Guess teaming up there is fine, just as long as you claim there wasn't an agreement before hand.

BDA worried about smaller guilds that are unable to mobilize for a mob like the larger guilds getting welfare pixels? That sure sounds familiar too. Maybe the smaller guilds don't want to have huge rosters of people who can play around the clock, because that isn't their play style. Just like having to compete with FE/IB/TMO wasn't BDA's playstyle.

Seems to me that BDA and a couple other guilds are in a sort of middle ground of quasi-"hard core" raiding - not willing to compete with IB/TMO and not wanting to allow more casual guilds an even split. They feel like they should get more based on their ability and willingness to do what it takes to kill mobs. That sounds familiar too.

Given that class C was created because BDA didn't want to play the game the same way hard core guild do, it's ammusing that they're now the people trying to force others to play the game their way. The hard core guilds don't try to make rules that force people how to play, they just adapt to whatever rules are set. Sure, everyone lobbies for rules that benefit them, but the server is in the state it is because it has become common practice to respond to every casual cry and complaint about fairness by adding more rules under the guise of creating fairness. If this wasn't common practice, rule lawyering wouldn't be effective because it wouldn't be worth anyone's time. We're in this situation because of our willingness to alter rules to try and make everyone happy.

Best thing for the server IMO would be to remove all raid rules on velious launch and just let the players figure it out. The only reason this server was dominated by one guild is because no one cared enough to challenge them 3 years into Kunark until FE formed and IB came back, and the rules had nothing to do with that. Having 2-3 "raid guilds" and a bunch of lower tier raiding guilds is classic, and the player crafted rules here do nothing but breed entitlement.

Other way around, and Taken didn't need saving.

Class C was created because Rogean was tired of TMO/IB/FE shitting everything up for the whole server.

While Chest was vocal, every none TMO/IB/FE guild wanted changes that created segregation between the two playstyles.
