everyone has a different view on why they like eq, from tmo's posters they think everyone has the same view and dedication to the game as them. the dedication is great if that's what you want to do, but for the most part the raid game on p99 is just not worth the time to play that style. taunt, brag, humiliate, dramatise, etc that won't change anything at the end of the day, most people are grounded in reality and will remain opportunistic in the game to do things on their own time.

raid scene on p99 is like a sand box. currently its littered with pieces of shit everywhere. some people overlook this and play in the shit filled sand, but others avoid it because their tolerance isn't the same. if a clean patch of sand is seen they may jump in and play for a while. eventually the pieces of shit will be removed or new sand will be added. but the sand box is only so big so it will fill up with pieces of shit again as long as people keep taking shits in the sand.

My only beef?

Not having the opportunity to pick and choose ANY raid target, since it's under the control of one guild.

That is all.

The problem is that it takes a huge, ridiculous quantity of time and not much skill.

What amuses me is that people are always all over these forums saying that the reason they don't raid is because they aren't willing to put in the TIME. No one ever says that they lack the leadership skills or the knowledge of the game or the motivation to organize, manage, and mobilize a guild.

And yet these same people who insist that it is the time barrier keeping them from raiding have not yet seized upon the allegedly simple task of forming and operating and mobilizing and managing a megaguild that could crush TMO beneath its feet.


Why haven't you crushed TMO yet, all you casuals? If you formed a 200-person megaguild you'd easily be able to log enough hours amongst yourselves to beat TMO, but without any one of you having to spend massive amounts of time ingame to accomplish this. Right? Cause all it would take to chase TMO off is time, right?!

Y'all need to stop rationalizing that the only reason you aren't smoking the shit out of VP every week is because you don't want to put that much time into the game and admit that although it doesn't take a videogame virtuoso to play p99 well, it takes a hell of a lot more than raw hours /played to do what TMO is doing.

The server vs TMO?

I can't speak for the guild, as I'm just a relatively new member.

But I'm pretty sure that the guild's response to this would be "Bring it."

I play maybe 3-4 hours a week and keep about 35-40% attendance.

Says the new recruit that joined tmo for there loot rots... Maybe if you were with them from day 1 your responses would be reconigized, until then, shut your mouth and stop talking like you earn loot.
