Don't reopen Teal... create Seal

[sajbert]

I casually leveled on Green. No issues with ST players at all. I later joined ST for dragon tourism purposes, they’ve been nothing but friendly and helpful. When I used to port they also tipped well and as I tipped a very patient wizard yesterday in DaP he told me that ST players do tip well. This unlike some other guilds, I was personally left without even a thanks by more than one Kingdom player for instance.

One of the first questions I got was if I had screen video capturing software. Why? To prove that everything we do is legit whenever there’s a dispute. I thought they were paranoid but only after a few raids it was made very clear how they were accused of cheating at every turn. The various FTE rules (to me as casual) appear arbitrary and pointless when it doesn’t stop accusations of cheating.

I’m sure some ST hare is warranted and yes ST monopolozes much of the content. Overall though the hate seems overblown, baseless and just bitter.

I agree with this. Most Seal Team members I come across have been very nice and

helpful.

Guess people hate it when a guild is better than them

no matter what game your playing there's bound to be people who want to be the best

it just be like that

Yeah I have mostly positive experiences with their members also, but frankly I would feel unsafe if the server didn't have at least one gang of dbags monopolizing everything and I literally mean that. If anything they are too nice

[TrevarianX]

I support this movement.

if it isn't seals, it'd be another guild, doesn't make a difference what the tag is

It's classic - there will always be a "top guild". People will either hate or adore them. Some clever few will "ignore" them and enjoy the game. I encourage those who don't belong to the first two to embrace the 3rd. It's still a fun game.

Honestly, one of the greatest things about Teal was that it inadvertently separated the players into two groups. Everyone who cared about getting "server firsts" and racing to the top and all that stayed on Green, while everyone who was like "a server with less 'competition', where you can just play EQ casually? that sounds awesome!" went to Teal.

As a result, for a brief beautiful moment you almost had a server for "the casuals", and a server for "the competitors", and it was like the perfect expression of classic EverQuest ... until the devs squashed the dream and threw both groups together on the same server.

Now, this "split" wasn't at all intentional on the devs' part: it was just a side effect of releasing Teal after the fact. But imagine how harmonious everyone's EQ experience would be if there actually was two servers ... one for "casuals" and one for "competitors"?

I think that's a pipe dream, you would at least be slightly spreading out camp competition, but make no mistake, if people thought there was more opportunity to get a chance at rare items on teal, they would.

Ultimately what teal would do is cut in half the number of neckbeards per server.
