Asking a favor from the two top guilds on the server

The inherent problem though, is that on live no individual character, no matter how much they raided (with the exception of some main raid tanks), was able to get every piece of gear available for that character before the next expansion released. On live there was no point in which you've "beaten Everquest".

On Project 1999 it's different, when you take into account the fact that the content isn't "new" and the knowledge of how to tackle it is already there, coupled with the fact that it's been over 4 times the length of time since the next expansion was due you get a guild like TMO, who have gotten to the point where their raid force isn't just gearing their alts because their characters are maxed, they are all gearing their third and even fourth characters in certain cases with end game content gear. They have literally beaten Everquest.

This isn't meant as a flame, this is simply stating cold hard facts. It has much less to do with them earning the pixels and the right to sell them and more with they have nothing better to do with their lives than continue to do such and as a result the bulk of the server's population (every single non TMO player) suffers because of it.

The only "fair" fix, which won't happen because of the nature of cartain players and server management's desire to appease everyone regardless of the problems certain group(s) cause for the community, is to remove TMO from the equation entirely, they won't stop no matter what anyone says. But since that will never happen, Sirken was 100% correct, the only way to combat the top guild will be to beat them at their own game and beat the zerg rush with a bigger zerg rush.

Another big reason for this is the rediculous FTE system, but pointing that out only falls on deaf ears too...

Lol, Yeah what happens when you guys get all your epix and pixelz your just gonna let other guilds get spawns? Please. The reason TMO sells shit because they earned it and farmed it. Just like FE would if they were #1. But your not or ever will be, so youll continue to fight and push other guilds out the way, so in the end... Shit isnt gonna change until velious.

It must be weird to vehemently defend a guild that cast you out. I don't get it.

stop bumping this lame thread

well that's a bold statement llodd, prior to the new variance, many guilds would show up at the end of a mobs window like a lottery. i'm glad it doesn't happen anymore.

you might as well ask someone with OCD to stop always saying they have to go sharpen their pencils, finalgrunt. Zerg only understand zerg. you are asking a (very modest, imo, and not in fact even disturbing the status quo scarcely at all) small non-zerg-like question. Equals: the scene in Star Trek TOS where Kirk gets Harry Mudd's fembots all crazy because he confounds their ROM.

Or to put it in more contemporary terms, you might as well have asked them if you could have their bucket.

thanks for your expect evaluation. Can you clarify your raid experience again on p99? I missed it.

it's a trap

Maybe it's time to release Velious and do the planar re-vamp...

simulated patch days would be way better than any of the other ideas posted in this thread.

I was against blue transfers to red until I read this thread. These blubies wouldn't have a chance. God will not save you there.
