Again you focus on the loo, you're installing this artificial loot discussion. Seems loot is the central goal for you.... others' might feel differently. Some people like the challenge of the encounter. Failure is only something you should fear if you're the kind of person to get frustrated and give up....but that's really more on you.. isn't it?

Cecily might be operating from a place outside of your loot-colored glasses you seem to look at EQ with.

what alarti is trying to say is that your idea of an accomplishment is killing the mob and getting loot. many others don't think it's an accomplishment to use overwhelming numbers to easily beat a 15 year old elf encounter. at that point, it's a loot vending machine. if you don't care that much about loot, that's not appealing. better to try and possibly fail than to not even try and just death touch the mob with 100 people

Loot is the central reason why people join raid guilds. It is rarely the reason they stay -- but it is the whole damn point of raid guild to begin with.

No one would be staring at a wall for hours if there wasn't loot involved.

Detoxx has a respectable signature. Just wanted to take a time-out to point that out. (bars)

Everyone has their own ideas of what raiding is. ATeam had their way other guilds have their own. I'm sure if accomplishing something with small numbers was a goal of Cecily she wouldnt have joined Awakened would she? I'm done talking about raiding though. Its the whole reason i quit this game to begin with. 15 years of loving this game to have it destroyed by the way raiding occurs on this server. Only nice thing about it was that it finally opened my eyes to other games out there other then just EQ. For that i guess i am grateful to cesspool that is raiding on p99.

Who cares about loot? If you think raiding on this server is about anything other than posting advanced metrics on your guild thread showing how you are doing better than your competition while also flaming them and making excuses for why you didn't get to kill certain mobs, then you sir, are an idiot.

This isn't about loot, Thulack. It's about be able to take pride in being a part of your guild. I've never killed the AoW before. And my first kill could have been my new guild dropping it by themselves or failing on their own. That would have been fun either way. Instead I got a 4 guild 3k dps overkill 140 player zerg to make it a sure thing. How much pride do you think I felt that day?
