I see the debate as being about behavior.

Decency vs sociopathy.

This game brings out the best and the worst behavior in people.

The nazis showed us that ordinary people from everyday walks of life can be compelled to become monsters, so sociopathy is contagious.

The behavior and attitudes associated with uber guilds is generally horrible and ugly. If they were roleplaying an evil race behaving like that I could appreciate it, but it is genuine evil villain to the soul sociopathic bullshit.

People excuse their asshole behavior by saying "it's just a game" "It's competition" etc etc etc. We as human beings are remarkable in our capacity to creatively justify our evil actions.

But I have seen and participated in decent people banding together and agreeing to isolate and alienate the jackasses that ruin the game for others.

It was far better than the Lord Of The Flies scenario we have now.

This is obviously the classic if you can't beat em join em scenario Dach.

I refuse to join a guild of douchebags just so I can kill a god or dragon and get uberlewtz. Screw that.

I would rather associate with decent people and go without killing a god or dragon.

But there is a better way. I have seen it.

And I would rather not let a bunch of casual players get loots over people that dedicate much more time to the game. If you want easy loots and a friendly atmosphere, I heard LOTRO is free to play and WoW has some great deals.

Rotations work, sure. But I know for a fact that we will snipe and steamroll lower guilds if a named is up, just because we can and thats how -we- play. Rotate planar clears, sure. Even then though, we have alts that we want geared.

Because following "Add-Ons" that hold your hand through a fight in WoW is much more difficult? UH OH! MY ADD ON IS TELLING ME TO STEP TO THE LEFT BECAUSE A WAVE OF LAVA IS INC!

I have never played WoW, I'm sorry that you took a blanket reply on raiding in a game with 1 hotbar worth of abilities, GCD and horrible itemization on top of being contested as a personal insult.

The amount of time one dedicates to the game does not entitle or justify someone to act poorly towards another, especially when you have no idea how much time they may or may not have invested.
This is simply rationalizing and excusing ones own BS.
You can keep telling yourself anything you want tho, be my guest, but I'm sure not buying it.
