The fact that TR continued to pursue loot for 3 days, after poopsocking for 2 is a fucking joke. The fact that TMO is disturbed enough about splitting loot to get furious about it is, too. Nobody looks like the winner.

And Yendor is right. You all want to poopsock. That's the problem. Again, "you all" is not specific to any one guild. If you didn't, you'd agree to a rotation or come together and beg GMs to remove windows altogether, effectively making pops completely randomized. Anything to ensure that there would be no advantage to forsaking your life in order to sit at the ready for an entire day every time a window opens.

Obviously we all have different priorities, but if I ever wake up to a 3AM phone call about Trakanon, I'm going straight to the tallest building in whatever city I'm in and jumping right the fuck off. I can't imagine how that's fun for anyone. The system needs to change, but it won't change unless and until both guilds come together and ask the GMs to fix it in a way that benefits everyone. Until then, you'll all continue to be retardedly combative over something that is completely arbitrary -- like FTE or first to 15.
Summary: Gaiz i play a 12 year old game re-hashed into an emu but I play it cooler than you.

Correct. Some of us are young cashiers or young food stamp frauders.

Dude, be a young Abacab for all I care. I don't give a shit what you do. But the current raid format shouldn't be -- and apparently isn't -- fun for any of you, so why oppose changing it?

For over a year, there's been a new fucking flame thread every week about who's poopsocking or who's getting GM favoritism or who's haxxing or who's being a rules lawyer. Stop doing the same shit over and over again and work something out amongst each other that doesn't suck. IE: a rotation, a no-window randomized pop, a PvP engage radius, banning socking, etc. It should be pretty damn obvious that something's wrong when it's taking you all 48 hours to earn/kill a Trak, and then his loot is being contested and argued over for the next week.
