If you wouldn't want it done to you if you were in another guild's position, then you're not taking the moral high ground. If your first instinct is "well, how can we bend or lawyer the rules in order to still get what we want?" then you're not taking the moral high ground. Do not sit here and tell me that Xzerion and now you earlier in this thread just held your guild to the expectation that they take the higher road, and then you just came here and backpedaled "welllll... about that.... what IS the higher road REALLY?" or "Well, despite the entire server telling us we're being dicks, that's totally subjective, so that's completely irrelevant and we don't give a shit what you think, we're getting the raid targets and you're not, hahaha!" when you realized that might mean you should stop leapfrogging if you were truly genuine about that statement.

But when another guild does get their chance to grab something because they were in the right place at the right time, or heaven forbid they manage to out-mobilize you, they shouldn't have to also worry about how TR is going to snipe it out from under them or rules-lawyer the loot away with GM intervention on some technicality because somehow out-mobilizing every other guild to a raid target 95% of the time isn't enough for you that you have to be douchey when someone actually has to gall to take a shot at "one of your mobs". What the hell is wrong with "Grats guys, you got there first this time... we will beat you next time!" and hanging out to grab the mob in case they fail? Why is it such a slap in the face to the members of your guild that another guild actually formed up or started the pull or whatever the situation is? Why does it have to be "Well, they have the mob incoming... go outaggro their puller" or "They just pulled the last few FGs, rush Naggy NOW!" or "Run up and be FTE so we can petition for the loot after they do all the work in killing the dragon!"? Or was it "we expect our members to take the higher road, unless a raid target is involved, then in that case... fuck you all!" Because if it is, fine... but just call it like it is so we don't expect anything more out of you. You proved you can get the raid mobs with "might makes right". Now my challenge to you (and every guild in the position to do so) is to get the raid mobs while remaining respected by the rest of the server. I know you can do it... I remember IB/DW sitting patiently on Isle 5 waiting for VD to take our first few attempts at the Spiroc Lord. You could have sniped it after we wiped the first time so you could start pulling Isle 6, but you didn't. You gave us our fair shot. Sure it probably wasn't a priority mob for you, but you made a decision to take the higher road there. We all would just like to see that more often. From all the raid guilds. Respect for the raid force already there. Less trying to bend the rules on technicalities to claim "ownership" to mobs when a raid force was clearly there first. Missing a goddamn raid target is not going to kill you guys, and it would mean a lot more to the players who got to stop worrying about what dick was going to get pulled on them. Am I telling you to give up raid targets? No. I'm telling you to break off pursuit after another raid force has clearly made their move for one and, next time, do that thing you all pride yourselves on doing and out-mobilize them to the next one. There will always be a next one! I'll tell you one thing... it would make the server a lot more fun for everyone instead of bleak and miserable, and there will be far more people sticking around on this server longer if logging in and clearing most of Fear just to have TR rush in and gank CT right in front of them didn't continuously sap their will to log in.
