Don't think I really need to go into why isle 1 at the very least on sky often has nothing up, anything else beyond that is against the rotation imo. It's certainly not something Europa has ever done, can't speak for other guilds.

The way I looked at what happened was a view into the minds of FoH leadership. Wasn't particulary classy.

The first time this happened we had just started doing sky. I think that some of you that have been here for awhile underestimate the knowledge gap between new guilds to the server vs the guilds/players that have been here for the past 5+ years. I may have played during classic in foh on live but it doesn't mean I paid any sort of attention to raid strategies or pulling. I sat face into a wall summoned mod rods and complained about mage epic (sound familiar?). This was a new experience for all of us as I decided to build this guild from the ground up here on p99 though we have found a few friends from live in the process, the raiding background of everyone involved is very disparate. To top this off the amount of plat for port stones to the guild at the time was very exorbitant let alone the cost of the stones & keys to island 2. We definitely had a learning curve. It took us like 9 months? before we ever got a wizard port neck and that was doing sky every monday, though it took us awhile to progress to the point where we could handle getting past bees.

Overall the experience here on p99 has been a good one excepting these issues of raid mob/epic bottlenecks here.

To answer your question more directly, yes, there were some rough feelings about sky. It was a very expensive weekly commitment. IIRC the sky stones were not always 250+ pp until someone reported it as a bug, they were much cheaper. On top of that we had signed up for the PM slot for the day. There was no communication, no disclaimer stating that oh hey, europa has the AM slot but really they raid from 1:30pm cst to 5pm cst in sky. To top this off very frequently Culkasi would forget to notify us that you guys had been to sky so we wouldn't find out until we had already ported up there.

Moving on towards the present we are in a much better situation in regards to sky and we are only minorly inconvenienced whenever Europa does sky.

I would probably say we have had more issues specifically with AG than any other guild in CSG. This is usually just us competing for similar mobs at similar times anywhere from VS to fear golems to trak to vaniki. Everywhere we went there they were or there they seemed to follow.
