The funny part is anyone can join Seal Team if they want to. The reality is most people aren’t willing to put in the work to become part of their raid team.

This has been true of pretty well every high-end guild on P1999 since 2009. Guilds on P1999 never developed the culture of exclusivity that permeated the high-end culture from the original game.

Yea, but ST has some personalities in it that are reprehensible and for some people the trade-off for "good gear" isn't worth it.

I don't understand. You had the option to compete for 7-day targets before you left. Right? The only thing that wasn't available for you to compete against was the softer targets. How does leaving the rotation, and feeding your members what gear that was available from them, help them against 7-day targets? You will get less gear. Your team will get less dopamine releases from winning. They will get irritable about losing and eventually people will leave. If I sound like I've been through this before it's because I have. I've always put myself in the underdog position. It didn't work out for me. I wish you all the best.

Sure, but you said easy targets to practice on. Which I still don't see them.

Nothing to stop us from getting gear at whatever rate we feel like we need to. 2 weekly 2am fire giant slots that frequently get pushed to even less desirable times? How is that beneficial?

As we've left the UN we're not restricted to planar slots, so we can go in at a greater or lesser rate than previous. Maybe we have to do twice the work for the same gains. We'll do what's right for our guild and membership. The overall timeslots for UN guilds have now gone up with our departure, so theoretically it might even be beneficial for the UN.

You're right, 7-day targets have nothing to do with the UN, so our inclusion or not also has no bearing on any attempts we might take at those. Except maybe now we're more of a target since we're not conforming, but we haven't exactly been shown much good will before.

Thanks for the well wishes, sorry your experiences didn't work out. Stay tuned!

Our recruitment has never been better, our raid attendance has never been higher, our moral has never been stronger. You couldn't be more wrong.

You don't think racing for phinny will make us better? Even if you're right the last few days have been a lot more exciting than just showing up for loot.

Exactly. Even losing phinny race brought more of a smile to my face than showing up at 9pm to do the same swim and standard spank. I hope Black Lotus had as much fun as we did, at the very least they took the competition in stride and were class acts.

My old veterans will know this, whatever the case maybe, someone in ST are pals with a GM. Question is, who is this era’s Xzerion.

Yeah Seal Team definitely knew there was going to be a 3AM quake, that's why they had 37 whole people online.

And they definitely know which mob is going to spawn in what order on repop days, they never get caught standing at the wrong thing and have delayed deployments for it.

And GMs are definitely keeping them from getting in trouble, that's why the GMs are trying to make guilds use the UN to settle disputes via vote instead of petitioning to lower their workload.

This trite shit is so dumb.
