Harrison I'm going to play this one objectively, because I seem to be someone here that can do that.

IB appears to have had the cheating upperhand and a brave TMO member (allegedly, I'm not sure on this) decided to bed the red headed land monster in an attempt to fight fire with fire.

The results appear to have been that a cheating guild was run off the server or was otherwise done with farming content (probably valid honestly) and didn't feel like continuing a now "even footing" war of attrition.

So... Harrison, being a good problem solver it would appear someone needs to find a way to do the same. It's called winning. Now, when you go this route, sometimes things can backfire.

For instance, you discover the source of the exploit and out perform the other guild in replicating it. Then, one of two things happens.

1- you become the new guild in charge and it is some how swept under the rug with the other guild leaving
2- the GMs slam you and not the other team for current/prior offenses and you take the server population down with you

Either way, make sure you get your runed mithril tunics on the way out.

Have fun trying this shit with Sirken. He will grumpy cat face the shit out of you if you try to buy him out or bang him.

1. Taking less than 30 from darkwind vs taking 50+ from DA - we'll call it a draw?

50 is a gross exaggeration, sorry. I was one of those ex-DA/Fusion/Ascension guys and it wasn't close to that large. Quite a few DA went to TR too.

I find it amusing that some people think I have no blue history.

A ton of them quit very quickly, but your DKP page was public for a long time, and you had 100+ active members (raids attended in the previous 2-3 weeks) shortly after the merger. Either you're wrong or TMO was really freaking big before absorbing Durison's crew.

Oh god I love you Shiftin.

You've reaffirmed a little bit of my faith, and my heart grew three sizes this day.

I've been doing my best y'all. :P

While you got most of it right Shiftin, I am pretty sure we were the first to hoop down Trak. It was the only way our ~25 man raids could compete with the 60+ TMO was routinely logging in at the time. That isn't to say we couldn't have done Trak with 25 or less, but when you're racing a force twice your size you've got to get creative. I don't get why people keep bringing it up though. Sure it trivialized a lot of encounters, but so does having a raid full of people with 5 or 6 charges of insta click CHeal.

Allow me to point out that of the TMO deleveled, it was a bunch of scrubs and nobodies (Gzngahr, Bearnuts, some app, Heroleeofcub) while for TR it was your raidleader Perun and other core members like Acarer and Mezeno.

Always wondered how you guys tagged those outdoor dragons so quick.

We absolutely went and got hoops after the first time tmo hooped, and we got the next 2-3, but we did not start it.
