Is the raid scene really that bad?

You could argue that it was a result of TMO's attitude towards the server or any form of competition as well.

Either way you look at it raiding on p99 leaves a lot to be desired.


Trains outside of VP barely ever enforced.
Variance is fucked.
Kiting raid mobs to stall for your guild not enforced as it should be.
ONE guild more or less dictating any kind of reforms to raid scene.
ONE guild fighting against the rest of the server when any kind of discussion regarding altering the raid scene in any way that might lessen their pixel intake.


Shits fucked anyway you look at it really, but all we can do is hope for change.

Hopefully if/when sirken and rogean have another twitch discussion its about the blue server and the sad state of the raid scene is discussed.

If someone is stalling... then take it and fraps what's going on. This kinda falls under the island justice tiggles said.

tmo never dictated any reform on the rules , when sirken asked us to step in and test changes we agree.

sadly since it diidnt worked for some guilds as it was suposed to be it was removed.


as i remember staff hass been very helpfull to help with some of the issues of raidin like FTE shouts.

The problem is fraps is usually dismissed when submitted from FE, don't you think we have tried getting justice? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Kiting and training (intentional or unintentional) has been done by both sides, but only one guild is asked to sit out spawns or has their players suspended(as far as I'm aware.) I'm not talking bout shit in the past that happened with IB either.

And arteker you need to stop bringing up the stuff that happened 2years ago, I'm talking about stuff that's happened in the last 4 or 5 months.

No one really races TMO for mobs. The server has almost always had 2+ top end guilds with one being obviously better than the other most of the time. When TMO finally knocked out IB (the long time #1) most of the hardcore guys from that guild left. This left the raid scene with only 1 hardcore raiding guild and several casual guilds. Few hardcore guys joined casual guilds and tried and ultimately failed. Now people cry because they can't beat TMO and be #1 or really even be a competitor.

There is more than enough room to be #2 on p99. However, if your plan involves knocking out TMO or trying to challenge them, you're going to fail. There aren't enough people on p99 anymore that are willing to play with the system that is in place.

If I were to ever come back, I would make a raiding guild and then just completely ignore TMO as raiding competition. Raid what you can and have fun, if they want to taunt just ignore them. The main problems other guilds have had is talking a ton of shit and not being able to back it up.

I skimmed this post but I agree with 100% of what Stealin says because he's my boy and he keeps it real.

There is plenty of room for a number #2 guild on this server but every guild that forms tries to talk shit and "dethrone" TMO instead of existing on there own merits.

I'm not saying it's fair but TMO is the big dog on this server we can monopolize any and all content and when some new guild starts shit talking shit on the daily we have no motivation to let you exist.

There is a small >20 member "hardcore" crew of old IB/VD people who quit and come back every other month, they join a casual raiding guild and motivate them to mass recruit and take raid targets, This causes that guild to explode in membership and these old "hardcore" members get promoted to leadership roles.

Unfortunately, These old IB members don't want to slay Talendor or Faydedar they want to "KILL" TMO so they force these members to compete against TMO for Trak and CT and VP when they were happy to get some gear and there epics. They may get lucky and kill these mobs but eventually TMO gets tired of losing CT/Trakanon and man up and focus on killing these mobs. The casual fluff of this guild starts to get burnt out losing CT over and over again and having 10+ hour corpse runs in Veeshan's Peak due to trains so they quit.

When that happens the old IB people quit again or move onto the next guild to start the cycle over again. Take a look at FE once they stopped making forward progress towards VP every single IB member (who has all their non VP loot) gquit within a month and reformed IB again.

Out of any raid capable guild out there the is one who doesn't talk Shit to us and that is Taken (Minus Thulak, fuck that guy)

If the officership of Taken wanted to get in contact with me or Zeelot and talked about maybe slaying a world dragon or so with us racing them for it I guarantee we could work something out. I have no problems with another raiding guild but when there goal is to kill my guild I will retaliate.

This 'end-game' guild drama is the equivalent of suiting up in your high school football uniform and bodyslamming people at the bar where you guys chose to meet up at for your 10 year reunion, all the while scream-reminiscing about your 'four touchdowns in one game'. Al Bundys, everywhere.

Tiggles, tell people that Taken leadership is directly connected with TMO. Raiding/gaining dkp with you etc etc.
You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Taken the king of ragefire farming. Lostprophetz still making them pixel gains off guild.

I find it funny that Tasslehof has just moved his RnFing to server chat since he quit RnF.

I would also like to point out that outside of VP, for a long while, FE outnumbered TMO. They then mismanaged their guild to the point of a bunch of people quitting/defecting. They now prefer to field less people.
