Staff - Players - TMO, a Treatise on the Future of the Server

[deneauth]

When I asked that question yesterday I was looking for a more serious answer than Alarti gave but got the answer I expected. I would like to know if TMO will come back with a chip on their shoulder like the old days or are they going to try something different. It doesn't mean much saying TMO will do what hey always do, win because they already won, for lack of a better description. If the server got steam rolled it would pretty much be out of spite. It's just my opinion and I don't mind one way or another how it all turns out but I am genuinely curious and I bet others are too.

What people fail to realize is that the majority of the server just isn't interested in playing how TMO plays.

EQ is a poor game to try be competitive in. It's just not designed for it. The challenge is in downing the mob, anything after that is artificial and generally silly to care about.

Everyone knows there are several guilds that can kill most raid targets, and at least TMO and BDA can handle the top end stuff too (like Gore, Trak, and honestly after VP keys are finished for the teeth we have, VP shouldn't be a problem either). So at that point the game becomes "who can train better in VP" and "who can wake up more raiders to log on at all hours", which is a really stupid game to play.

I have seen the excuse for the last paragraph of your post before, the answer was they put up with it from IB and thus so should you from them. Which is a terrible way to look at anything and in real life situations that argument holds no water. The server could use a fresh new take on endgame raiding then perhaps casuals like myself might even try to raid again. I am completely indifferent about raiding right now because there is no point wasting energy getting upset over something so silly but I would enjoy seeing content I never got to see on live. If I ever got a VP key no way would I want to go into that zone and get trained for 8 hours straight. Not fun at all. Fun for the trainers I suppose but its a waste of my time.

Let's just call it like it is. Raiding is "broken" on P99 because of a handful of dildos who refuse to just play nice. If you remove said dildos, your buttholes won't hurt so much. Just sayin'.

[Tr0llb0rn]

lots of content waiting to be raided on red99, come get some, problem solved.

fight others for the content instead of sitting around waiting on variance? ditto with item camps,etc.

[Onshuu]

Redistribute the raid mobs! We the 99%! Occupy EC!

TMO beats you to raids, y u mad tho?

I in no way speak for guild leadership but I fully expect TMO to come back and kill everything, we are a raid guild who hasnt raided in two weeks for you to expect anything different is naive. How long we will continue to track and kill less important targets is the question. I dont have an answer to that

I do understand, I am not naive, I guess I was stirring the pot and for that I apologize. I just want to get some brainstorming started on where we can all go from here. It's not like I was trying to say you all should refrain from raiding altogether because that is just unreasonable. The targets you all kill that you don't need anymore might as well be left up for others to kill beacuse what would the point in killing them be anyway? But yeah it's not like I am speaking for anyone in particular other than myself right now, just throwing some opinions out there you know?

Sorry my "you" was meant for the general populace not a direct response.

Imo release an optional velious beta so we can go testing
