not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

You should petition the server staff and ask them to implement a server-wide rotation.

Lumping TMO and FE in the same boat with regards to loot is lazy and ignorant.

Trust me nobody in the "lesser guilds" give a fuck about TMO or FE. And they are not lazy and ignorant. They might even be called normal instead of eat up with with the dumb shits about a 14 year old game as adults now.

I've been playing the server 2 months now. I got to say. The BS I read on these forums is misleading at best.
A week ago my brother and I were running through DL and saw Gorenaire up, and had to acutally tell a guild he was up before a raid force showed. This isn't the first time I've seen a viable raid/groupable mob up for quite awhile before being downed...people with 15 level 60 at accounts?..please.
This hyperbole about 24/7 camped raid targets is ridicules. Yes the guilds with more people on a lot get targets the vast majority of the time...who would of thought? I'm guessing there are even a handful of players without jobs that camp them...
Welcome to Everquest 1999. This is exactly how it used to be. Don't expect to to raid the top endgame targets unless you are a power gamer, end of story.
The thing about a server based on nostalgia, is it seems to attract a type of person that is very idealistic and ungrounded in their thinking. What they really want is a server where they can play 4 hours 3 days a week and raid top targets. There is a game where you can do this...its called WoW. Or Perhaps the EZ server...idk.

Yeah, wow, you've got a lot of opinions for your whole 2 months here.

You sound like you headed for TMO with that attitude.

Gore is a special case because she's basically the hardest kunark target outside of VP (or maybe queen bee) so only TMO/FE and BDA (on a good day) can take her down

Guy clearly knows more about there server after two months then folks playing on here for years. Just ask him, he will tell you!

Also correct me if I'm wrong but Gore doesn't drop any epic pieces that TMO can sell back to the community for 300k+ a pop. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Surely one member on one of their 6 alts (that each player has) can use Gore drops.

[LiQuid]

You're being silly if you think a lot of players (not even just the ones in TMO) don't have a fleet of high level characters, many of which stay parked at highly contested raid targets as well. This server is old, the content is stagnant, and getting to 60 isn't that difficult. Plus the amount of account buying/selling that goes on makes it incredibly easy to just buy alts for raiding.

More to the point though, Gore is not highly contested because it's a difficult kill and the drops aren't great. You can't use Gore as a comparable to other high end raid targets.
