It's far worse than that, Legday.

The competitive players admit that the raid scene is shit, but their desire to continue competing and interacting with one another is a marvel.

On the other hand, the casuals never wanted to play with you guys. Hell, they barely tolerate playing with each other. They each want their own vacuum to surround themselves with themselves and gather pixels.

That's not universally true or even true for the majority. I pull 40-50 on a raid and it's about that for Europa and omni. Do we need that kind of force for a sev? Absolutely not. But it's fun fighting crap with your friends. We could certainly only be an alliance for velious mobs and if,we competed for kunark we would likely never even fight each other due to our primes being so different. But we choose to fight together because we like each other and like fighting alongside each other.

Think less gladiators slitting each other's throats for a prize and rather a group of adventurers slaying beasts so we have a good story while we sling grog at the local tavern.

In a rotation, would you stay as one: CSG or split into three: Azure Guard, Europa, and Omni?

Obviously, you don't have to answer that.

On the Vegas trip I had a $70 blackjack bet, saw 8/3, doubled down to $140, didn't get there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've already said that AG would be fine staying in CSG in a rotation.

Rotations benefit guilds who can kill targets with lower numbers, therefore getting more pixels per person. I think it's a much more interesting (not to mention CLASSIC) form of competition than this Mario Kart nonsense.

Do you realize how that looks from our point of view? We don't have to be nice guys and you're starting to make us not want to be nice guys.
Once upon a time in a land not so far away, Legday stood in an Emerald Jungle autorunning into a tree. This warrior was passionately sending tells to an Azure Guard magician with desperate pleas to end the competitive mage tracking because he had been watching the spawn since the window opened. "Why don't you bring your mages in?" our mage asked. " why? Well because it's not a fair fight. We don't have factioned mages!" this casual warrior replied.


Seems to me that you are wearing your shoe on a different foot... Was that less than 2 months ago?

That was over 6 months ago and as usual, you've completely butchered the story.

You showed up after 10 hours of the window had gone by and our factioned mage and Forsaken's factioned mage were standing on the spawn point (Asgard and Forsaken were competiting against one another on Kunark targets at that point). Your mage started coth ducking. My 'desperate pleas' were to end the coth ducking. I also explained that I had been tracking Sev for my warrior epic for months so you guys showing up 10 hours in to a window and coth ducking was kind of a kick in the nuts. You laughed it off because you had some warrior in your guild that had been waiting for a green scale for a year or something. Then I had to explain to you that I wasn't waiting for a green scale, I had personally tracked every Sev window for 3 months. 12 straights Sevs or something. It didn't earn me a free shot at Sev or anything, I was just asking for some mutual respect instead of your bushleage tactics.

It's neither here nor there, because we all had to start coth ducking because of you guys. The best part was that Asgard got the FTE and he dropped the green scale for my epic that night. Thanks for reminding me.

Or is that like that time you went on Sirken's stream and tried to put Asgard on blast for training Tormax in to the arena, when the situation you were trying to describe was when we pulled Vindi to the WL zoneline.

You need to try and understand what you're talking about before you throw other guilds under the bus, because when you're wrong it makes you look so, so bad.

I've been out flopped so many times with AK suited. I swear I'd rather some suited middle connectors like J9, those always seem to pan out well for me.
