This is where they put forth their time and effort to become strong, capable, and able to flex on others who don't dedicate the same amount of time to their craft. Just like a weight lifter in the gym, or a stylish dressing person with their wardrobe and amazing hair. Many top players make huge sacrifices in their lives to be where they are. There is always a machismo element to the community of anyone in the top tier. Nerds are no different than jocks in this manner.

no no no. His expectations are entirely reasonable. Unfortunately, most people are assholes.
if most people are assholes then your expectation should be that they behave like assholes
therefore your expectations are unreasonable, if well-meaning

If people played for fun and to enjoy themselves while shooting the shit with others in the community instead of trying to build some uber mega ultimate elf character in full unstoppable raid dragon ballz shit - there wouldn't be a need for all the extra horseshit. And the staff could do all kinds of cool stuff for the community.
Maybe monopolizing all the high end content/gear is ST's definition of fun? Sure, if you're trying to get some raid pixels for your toon, it might be annoying to have a "super fat uber nerd guild #1" that locks everything down on an emulated version of a 20+ year old game, but let em shine if they want to put in the time.

I'm in a guild that competes with ST for 7-day stuff, camps, etc. Can't really blame people for wanting to be the best at things. If you want a participation trophy, there's plenty of TLP servers around.

OP: it's my understanding the <Castle> members were not linking their own gear in some attempt to show off. They were linking items that had just dropped on the joint Sky raid that was happening at the time. It wasn't bragging...it was just sharing the wonder and joy of EverQuest.

As to the KS attempt, please send me or another officer screenshots and we will take appropriate action.

Maybe you don't. But my son got a recruitment tell randomly the other day. If you really want I can go up to his laptop tomorrow and pull logs(assuming they're on, probably not... that would be frustrating).

From whom? I'm going to guess it was from someone who had grouped with him and thought he'd be a good fit.
