Why are so many threads like this?

Right, BDA decided other guilds were undeserving of pixels, because reasons.

The battle for BDAs soul ended when the rotation fell. Tiggles won.

Pretty sure the decision was that guilds were equally entitled to Pixels, not more so because they splintered and carried more than 1 tag to hold multiple places in the rotation. But Good try, Keke.

Which guilds splintered? Huh?

Wait, are you referring to Omni, the BDA splinter guild?

My Omni alt got so many pixels it was amazing. All the big guilds had alt guilds in the rotation. TMO had Asgard, IB had Indignation, BDA had Omni, Azure Guard had Europa, etc, etc.

[QUOTE=Exmo;2149105]Not that I really give a shit about the rotation that ended a When it finally ended, I believe a lot of the root cause was that All the Smaller guilds wanted to not lose their turn when they couldn't field a force, but still keep separate spots in line when they could, Be able to combine and uncombine at will and still each have their own spot on every mob's rotation.[quote]

Yeah and? During this period of time BDA regullary pulled in 2x-3x as many players as the smaller guilds. They were better able to kill mobs in those off hours. BDA's complaint was that their were able to get more shots on a mob, but consistently ignores the fact as a combined force they would as a guild get less loot. BDA kills trakanon, they would get 2 BP, bunch of teeth and spells. Combined guilds would get maybe a tooth or 2, a BP for another, and some spells for another. Yes the guilds were better off as they could consistently get a kill done, but were rewarded for less loot for their efforts.

BDA has always had some type of seething hatred for guilds that work together for loot.

BDA Offered to continue the rotation on terms that required guilds to be able to field a force to be on rotation for a specific mob. And that didn't work for a bunch of the small guilds who wanted to form at will single target alliances so they could get more mobs. So they rejected the deal and broke off Negotiations. Even after BDA Extended the deadline several times.

We all saw the posting by pint when this all came to light to the server on what those "negotiations" were about. It was a heavily flawed ultimatum joke of a document. Filled with ridiculous tiers, and the ability to kill mobs in off hours when the smaller guilds would likely have nobody online. I explicitly remember that a guild would have to kill gorenaire solo to have a shot at maestro. That document was created just to be rejected by the smaller guilds and make them look like the bad guys.

And in its final iteration (something Pint didn't show you, wonder why) we decided to just do a test run without tiers and qualifying mobs, but the sticking point was allying for one meant you allied for all. The guilds that were allying and dodging lockouts within the rotation couldn't accept this compromise.
