Stop wasting your time and come join the fun in Aftermath!
Whoa a big list... What you're doing isn't fun. You fail to mention that your roster is insanely big so it's highly pending on if any of the 100 other people that might log in that actually have dkp. While there are times those go for cheap ... are those off hours? Can a normal person with a wife n kids can attend? Lots of holes in your it's only a few dkp to get an item statement based off of lots of outside circumstances.

What's your highest dkp? You're numbers are still more than rustle in terms of dkp. Also if you take into account turn over/burn out and lowering your RA I'd say you might be struggling just a little.

Killing dragons is plenty of fun.

These are the current going rates on those items, most of them have seen many drops going at this rate or lower, some have just recently reached this rate. All of these items were more expensive a few months back when our raid force wasn't nearly as saturated.

There will always be fluctuations in price like you said, but we have a cut off of 50 DKP meaning that mains will always win over an alt if they bid 51 DKP making it a lot easier for new members to obtaining a good base set of raiding gear.

You can raid whenever you want with us as we try to kill mobs 24/7, we have members from all over the globe with wives and kids, so yes a normal person can absolutely attend. People snag raids whenever they can/want just like Tekilya posted. You don't have to track or run or stare at walls we have plenty of people that do that, you can do however you please. There more you help out the more loot you get, it's completely up to you. When it comes to time invested vs amount of loot you get you simply get more bang for your buck in A/A than any other guild on this server as illustrated by the list I posted.

Like I said, raiding on p99 is not a closed club like it was on live, where the wait list to join the top guilds were so long that you basically had to be unemployed to have a chance of them letting you in. Here you have A/A with arms wide open ready to get to know you and help you progress.

I personally prefer the shit shows of raids over the super expedited and smooth raid that people have done 100x.

Pixels will be replaced, but me laughing my ass off all night and my guild wiping in hate. With a prized member of the guild yelling in /shout "GOD DAMNIT, WE'RE A CASUAL GUILD, NOT A SHITTY GUILD!" That'll stay with me forever.

Warm body reporting - I recently acquired a Facesmasher off Joralag for 200 dkp (not an exorbitant amount by anyone's standards) - dreams do come true in A/A. Also have almost full HoT armor, Epic completed, Hammer of Battle, Sky haste belt...My alt necro has 3 pieces of PoG armor and a Zlandicar Heart (and I can buy Emissary of Thule and Demi Lich from the guild bank at discounted prices). My Bard has full Hate armor

1) I play only during peak hours

2) I don't play on Friday or Saturdays at all

3) I am not on the bat phone

4) I work a full time job 50 hours per week

I am leveling alts 90% of the time when playing EQ. I simply sit in our team speak "wake up channel" while fiddling around in Oasis or KC watching Trailer Park Boys and if a raid mob is called I log into my monk and do whatever I can to help.

The top level guys in A/A simply understand how ToV works (train ups, pulling, mechanics) better than anyone else. Listening to the concerted effort it takes to set up a kill in Team Speak....there is no competing with them - its hard to explain how they can make a simple game like EQ sound sophisticated but god damn it if they don't.... I would not ever want to compete against Aikons for any reason in an EQ related raid for example, the guy knows his sh!t inside and out.

The one thing I will say is that you absolutely need to have multiple characters if you want to really enjoy being in A/A. As a melee main I pretty much can only take my monk outside ToV for 3 days a week unless I just don't want to participate in raiding. If you are a caster I guess you could just bind at ToV.

My main EQ goals are all outside of raiding (sans epics) so its just icing on the cake that the fine members of Aftermath let me participate. 10% raid attendance requirement = you should join if you want to enjoy EQ end game.

Your looking at DKP from the wrong perspective IMO. Sure the best of the best loot is gonna be sky high but think of how much time he/she spent helping other members also progress. There's no low,middle, or high class. You're all together progressing not only yourself but each and every member. And yeah it can be fun shooting the shit in TS or listening to a history lecture.

Seem salty bro
