Not the same guild, we tried to partner on Dain but found out too late that when single pulling from the well you are allowed to tag somoene's Dain after you FD the others up top off. Apparently that's the legal strat going forward. Word to the wise, don't be the ones to pull Dain.

Asgard was poised to kill Dain. Unfortunately, and it's our fault, BDA swarmed in there as we were trying to pull Dain cleanly. We didn't realize that Hailing Dain wasn't going to be considered stalling. We simply tried to abide by the fair play policy when it came to stalling.

BDA swooped in, snagged the Dain, and downed him with 100+.

Grats to them on the first but it's unfortunate that it happened that way.

Honest question: How is this game at all "fun" to you guys raiding a single target with over 100 people? Why not split raid forces and go after multiple targets / challenge yourselves?

Honestly I doubt we'll reach those numbers again. That's Day 1 launch, and I expect to see it fall back to our normal raid sizes over some time.

It's fun to hang out with people we consider friends - in game, outside of game, in other games too. We've just been around so long (and typically do not remove inactive players) that sometimes, the numbers really swell.

I agree. For me, personally, when I played Live I was in a smaller guild. We weren't at the current content but we were a step or two below. But man, it was a lot more fun taking out raid targets with few numbers than having 72-man or more raids killing targets.

On P99, that just isn't plausible it seems.

That was something I actually liked about live back in the day - that the expansion might be at a certain level, but you'd be doing the previous expansion content.

My group was doing elemental planes and getting ready for time back when Omens had launched.

My experience on live was just that.

I was always in these large (zerg) guilds. Velious we constantly had 80+ in NTOV and Kael and PoG.

REALLY sucked regarding loot, 1. Because the guild leader for the couple guilds I was in ONLY gave loot to who ever he wanted to. 2. There were so many damn people.

This carried on with me through PoP too. But there was a lot of loot that exactly require a raid to get that was really good too (by PoP time frame).

I was in a small guild once and I really didn't like it. We could do anything like the medium or larges guilds could. It was a bummer, at least for me.

hummm.....I meant that. derp

Lots of mistakes. Sorry.

Corrections:

****Small guild could not compete with medium/large guilds.

****There was a lot of loot that did not require a raid to get that was good.

A-Team were a good example of doing more with less. You just need a decent set of players who know their roles inside out and can adapt when the shit hits the fan.

Playing in a zerg guild makes players and the people around them more lazy/relaxed. Like you could probably completely afk for a boss fight as a wizard or mage and it wouldn't shift the odds of success by much at all.
