I just want to say I have trouble raiding even tho I am on a pension. And don't have to even shower ever day. So it's not as easy as you guys make it out to be.

You don't have to be unemployed, but it helps a lot. The main thing on Blue is you have to have small/medium chunks of time available pretty much 24/7. There is a super gross meta of killing things in the middle of the night or during the middle of a workday.

The problem with this is that if you are a normy trying to be a raider, you're fucked. If you work 9-5 in an office you are missing a LARGE % of the raid pops, which means you basically have to have 100% RA on the weekends and prime time to be able to meet RA requirements, which means you become a fucking meme nerd who sits at their computer every second of thier down time.

When I started waking up to bat phones at 3 am to kill Yelinak I realized I needed to stop taking P99 so seriously. The pixels are like heroine though.

The immersed raiders on this forum will say whatever they want about how raiding is cool and normal and they dont have a problem keeping RA, but the truth is if you want to raid on P99 it is an enormous time commitment anyway you cut it.

Is it worth it? I think its fun to experience for a short time - Maybe for like 3 months max? But then you have to have the willpower to cut the cord or you end up in a UN discord discussing P99s raid scene like you are a constitutional lawyer. Its seriously like a drug addiction - "I can quit anytime".

Why can't the GM's/guides just outlaw any guilds requiring more than 40% RA? like "you'rre guild will be disbanded and not allowed to exist if u do that to ur players".

Simple solution lol.

Starkind - in Velious there are 50ish legitimate raid targets. Even keeping a 15% RA is absurd for a normal and healthy person considering that this is a 24/7 operation.

Go read the UN chat, they think their management and decision making improves anything here

You're dealing with severely brain rotted individuals with weak motor skills

This picture explains many of the raid comms background noises on both servers.
