Why do people constantly insist that you cant do both? Ive been in AM since the start and just bought a house so obviously its not impossible. Its just the lies you tell yourself in order to justify your entitlement.

You had mobs handed to you for a month and "beat the game", then why are you still so salty about the raid scene?

It's a blanket statement. Like all black men can jump. All a/a must be no life obama batphoning hero's. Obviously it's not the case lol.

List of things we've learned we need to compete with a/a (let me know if I miss any):

1. At least one person to leave a computer on all day
2. Multiple people to look at a camera pointed at #1
3. Batphone to distribute info gleaned from #2
4. Voice chat and a mic
5. Your own private server where you can practice
6. Enough people to staff a 16 hour racing window where even if all things are equal the chance of your guild winning is 1/3 or 1/4.

You do this week after week after week after week etc. Do you know what an opportunity cost is?

None of this is true, it used to be true but now hell I just log in and kill a few dragons log off dont even track or do anything much anymore. you can still be casual and be in aftermath or awakened its not like tmo or rampage or forsaken where you had to track 10+ hours a day, you can just log in and get a few kills or even group if you want too no one is making you really do anything thats what guilds like csg omni etc dont understand they talk shit but real life comes first hell as detoxx said he makes money and works alot hes not on every raid, I know im not, sure we have batphones but so do the other guilds. name one guild besides like blackheart pirates or kittens or what not that doesnt have a batphone? and number 5 isnt true at all you really dont know shit. we arent the only guild to have a test server either I know atleast 4 that do.

Which is larger: The population of casual driven off by A/A, or the number of A/A's own members who've burnt out and quit?

Hey Zekay, still hanging out in DAOC?

I love the "I can make a living and raid 50 hours a week" argument.

I can't help but think back to the multiple overnight batphones, the constant Lord Vyemm's spawning at 10A.M. on a Tuesday morning with both guilds getting 70+ people online for hours straight during that time.

But yes the raiders on P99 all pull in 6 figures each and maintain 80% raid attendance, totally. It's not filled with delivery boys, Dominos cooks, mass unemployment, and majority underemployment, nope not at all.

Just like in real life there are people who make 6 figure and some who are unemployed. The problem is when you generalize all into one group or another. There are FAR FAR more casual players in A/A than there are hardcore players. The thing with batphones is you can actually set times when they wont happen, it in the twitter settings. I don't get woken up for a batphone unless i let it alert me ahead of time.

Its only 10AM in one place, there are people playing on both coasts and in between, on different continents in different countries. Its just another example of your entitlement to think everything revolves around your time zone.

Who takes hours to kill a dragon in ToV, even vymme, since it has a 1 hour lock out?
