A regular and casual raiding day on P99.

This thread is a pot, and it needs stirring

Surprised no one commented on TMO wiping to Innoruuk, that is the most offensive part of all.

It's truly worrisome that after 13 years some simple decency hasn't embedded itself in our little community. Usually we mature with age, where did that progress stop? Can we all just agree to not being a bunch of shit eating wiener wizards for once?

The problem is that the way the raid mechanics work encourage competition not cooperation. The players have simply adapted to way the raid scene works.

And this is why games made after EQ had instanced raids so that each guild could have a fair shot at the content on their own terms, not world mobs on long-ass respawn timers that guilds had to fight over for pulling rights.

No. Instances were created because of $$$, not because developers dreamed of unity amongst MMO gamers. A lack of instancing would mean either 1) needing to develop a lot more content, which would cost extra money or 2) a bunch of people get unhappy because of lack of available content and they stop playing, which would mean less money coming in.

Okay Mr. semantics. The point I was making is that if EQ was designed around instanced raids back in the day instead of the way it is now, the community would be a lot more cooperative and a lot less competitive.

Well they wiped to fay... so an Inny wipe isn't that shocking. What really sucks is they couldn't let Europa even engage knowing this is a very rare encounter for them...

FE confirmed trying to promote healthy guild relations. Ruined by TMO not being able to pull Inny w/o wiping entire zone>.<

Lets reflect, TMO pings trak over FE after they wipe, nothing happens. FE member aggro's tola and engages trak on TMO engage... TMO kills dragon with 40 in 15 seconds and the train doesnt effect the outcome yet FE gets suspended from a spawn.... TMO monk pulls VS out of VS room right when he spawns onto FE members wiping us... still waiting on that decision.... if anything now its time for TMO to sit out an Inny/vs/ct/trak spawn i'd say. But most likely nothing will happen and if it does i'd be shocked.

Does TMO get special treatment from the GM's or something?
