in your play i can almost guarantee that you will find more players like yourself, than you will find on the forums.

That doesn't change the poopsockers from preventing everyone else from ever getting epics. I bet they would let things rot before yielding to the greater good.

I guarantee they rot all the time. Why would they let you loot pieces for the epic when they sell them for 40-500k?

When veilous comes out unlikely anything will change.
Those current contested targets will still be needed for epics at a minimum. When the epic loot gets moved off those guys onto new mobs, in the case of the gods, they get buffed and a whole new set of loot to fight over. Trak will be killed for his teeth still, VP loot still remains good. Djorn still killed for sky loot, Sky loot still good.

There simply wont be a fight out for trak breastplates, VS legs, and normal planar loot.

Why do people who are level 10 keep asking about endgame?

The grind to 60 is incredibly long and you will have every question answered well before you will be of level to even participate.

At level 10 worry about getting new spells and dual wield and worry about the other shit when it comes up.

Because I'd like to do some things I didn't when I played live. Leveling to 60 is something I've already done.

I still don't get it.

You only want to level to 60 if you can get uncontested epic/god loot at the end of it?

Yes, you will have to compete for loot like on any eq server ever in existence

Hope that cleared things up.

Forums may represent a minority of players, but would you tell me that it doesn't accurately represents the raiding scene? That I could join a guild other than the top two and be able to participate?

I know the game. I know how long it takes. Which is why the fact that in my forum readings I haven't seen a single post about any other guilds killing any raid targets makes me leery of putting in that time just to be excluded from one of the big reasons that I would like to play here because I don't agree with the top two guilds' play style.

I only want to levl to 60 if I will be able to do things that I enjoy when I am there. One of those things is less-than-hardcore raiding.

Except the ones that had raid rotations.

Except this server is locked in time where one or two guilds can dominate all raid targets - thats the difference. Open up Velious, Luclin, and PoP and the problem is gone with this server population. Unfortunately, I doubt luclin and PoP will ever seriously be considered.

This, in a nutshell, is the issue with our server. Everyone played on live and wants to do '1 more', and there simply aren't enough high-end spawns.

People who were casual just wandered around want to be in a low level raid guild and experience a few more zones.
People who were in a casual guild want to be in the uber guild and BiS and kill all the bosses.
People like Bhubbles who were in a top tier raid guild just kinda look on from the forums in dismay.

Also, Sirken is totally right in that most of the people you will meet in game are very nice. Most of TMO is actually composed of very nice people (Necrious, Cilienya, Elethia, Xasten, Droxx, my hero Crazyeyes, Hookrs, I even like Jeremy and Fountree and Zeelot although they like to troll, I mean really most of them) but they *really* want their pixels.

The absolute worst thing you can do on these forums is take RnF seriously. RMT and ridiculing the staff excluded of course.
