Little GM intervention as possible

[Buhbuh]

Silikten, if that was your attempt to pigeonhole me, then you are correct. I would train the fuck out of someone if they did it to me, GIVEN that no rules prohibit it. I'm fully aware that "eye for an eye leaves everybody blind," so to speak, but this is EQ, so fighting fire with fire was/ is sometimes the only option.

The people who seem to think I'm some sort of champion for bluebies need to recognize the fact that I was a monk for my entire EQ career on TZ. I was an officer of a guild directly under PDM, and I was the one who implemented and stressed the anti-pussy, fight fire with fire game play.

But that doesn't mean I enjoyed it! I enjoyed TZ for others reasons. On some occasions street justice brought me laughter and some joy during the times we'd actually beat PDM, but it made many a situation giant cluster-fucks of bind rushing, training, and both guilds never advancing toward their goal, etc.

It's a giant headache either way. I have absolutely no problem training the shit out of anyone at any time. I'll lose experience, bind right outside, delevel to 46 in the planes in attempts to sabotage anyone I see fit. I made it my agenda to have an entire guild act exactly that way on TZ. Veneration were a bunch of pussies that took a train, died, and cried about it. But please don't question my ability to be "hardcore." The point is that I'd just rather not be that way. It wastes so much damn time.

Don't get me wrong-- it will happen. It will probably happen frequently where GM's can't spectate an event between two guilds fighting. Everyone will train as they please. When there's no consequence, people don't care.

So what's the solution? Make people care. Ban the retards who make it their goal to screw people out of spite. People don't train because it's part of the fun game play. It's a way out, a final tactic-- something someone uses when it's clear their own guild or character won't be completing (or get the chance to complete) a raid or mob encounter that someone else has in their pocket.

If there are no rules, I will change my previous statement about starting an ENC, and again just be a monk or go SK. The benefit of having FD within a server of granted chaos is way too good to pass up. I don't even have to PvP. In fact, I won't. I will literally use mobs for every PvP encounter that I can and hopefully get the KS for that big YT, y'all! If not, so be it. They still died. I'm still a boss.
