Here's the problem with your conception of varied stake. Legal realism as exemplified by maritime law is applied on the basis of access to water. Nobody could seriously argue that a landlocked country with no major maritime trade has as significant a stake in international maritime law as a country that is surrounded on all sides by water and has integral aspects of its economy wrapped up in maritime trade. Varied stake is a product of undeniable and largely inescapable geographic limitations.

This isn't a comparable situation. Whether or not a given guild has a significant stake in the end game is directly related to the rules that dictate the end game. Whether international maritime law settles on a set of regulations regarding piracy or not, South Sudan is not going to be terribly invested. But if variance is eliminated and rotations put into place, essentially every player on the server could be expected to have a stake in the raid scene. The rules, not the nature of the player, dictate the level of involvement for the vast majority of players. The level 5 alt-a-holic nostalgia fiend is the minority amongst the guilds being represented. Most players do reach raiding level and would participate, given the right set of rules.

Why does that matter?

Why is raiding the only fucking thing you guys think is important?

Hello there are 12k other people on the server enjoying things other than raiding.

Perhaps because it is a raid discussion...

We deserve more because we are superior.

Only posting to say that I laughed at this, and...

You guys should all go get "Rust" on steam, that game is so fucking good. It's the most addictive gaming experience I've had since EQ. I'm considering hanging up the gloves on p99 for this game, atleast temporarily, because its that good. It's only in it's alpha stage right now so its likely to get a lot better, since it's only a work in progress at this point.

The game is hardcore, I mean you could spend all day gathering resources/supplies and building a shelter only to have some assholes come blow it up and rob all your shit if you're unlucky. Thankfully on the server I play on only my friends have explosive charges researched, for now.

forced into a submissive position

It's not my fault Big Daddy Rogean bent you over and had his way with you, it's your own attitude and the posts it generates.

All you had to do was accept Rogean's original staff compromise. That would have given both FEIB and TMO about 1/3 of all targets, and better ones too considering how great VP is while the casual scum would have split the remaining 1/3 of the targets among 7-8 guilds and gotten something like 5% each.

I think your real problem is that you *know* that batphoning and tracking is retarded, and so you want more people to start doing it so that you have some social proof that you are right.

The scientists wanted to study the group's behavior in its natural occurrence. The group sold or gave away its belongings, students neglected their studies, people quit their jobs. They were committed, they believed. When the time came to leave, the group made public the coming disaster so the media came to watch. When the saucer didn't show, an atmosphere of despair among the group prevailed. The group had given up so much (property, money, jobs, education) that they could no longer afford not to believe. Next came a revelation from the group leader-because the group had cast so much light upon the world, God had saved the earth. Then came an instruction to publicize the explanation. What they had once kept secret, they now felt the need to publicize in the grandest scale.

Cialdini explains, "If they could spread the Word, if they could inform the uninformed, if they could persuade the skeptics, and if, by so doing, they could win new converts, their threatened but treasured beliefs would become truer. The principal of social proof says so: The greater the number of people who find any idea correct, the more the idea will be correct. The group's assignment was clear; since the physical evidence could not be changed, the social evidence had to be. Convince and ye shall be convinced!"

This is a sad statement

I would say the same for people like you who are affected so deeply by things but don't have the wherewithal to do anything about it.

That is the worst quality to have

You are nuts or trolling , i been raidin with tmo longer than you and i never claimed to be superior to others and ence i deserve more shit u pulling.

only real thing i can account over 3 years is shit and more shit and people like you fucking around so we got more and even more troubles .

i love competition i love to raid with tmo and i can get some fun making and saying obscenitys to other players without enter on the eprsonal but i never claimed to be superior.

EQ always rewarded people willing to put more hours either raid or farming or who have more rl cash to burn and rmt but what u pulling is just retarded
