So lurking these forums I keep reading about this aim chat loot conspiracy and that the people not in aim chat are getting dicked on loot in Empire. Just wanted to throw my two cents in as a non aim chat member of Empire.
I am pretty new to the server (been playing actively about 8 months now). I joined holo with a bunch of other warm body croots just before breakup with gods work while Azrael was farming VP and we were still keying up. I am still pretty shit at the game but actively trying to learn and get better.
I am not and have never been a part of the aim chat pals, however I have had great raid attendance (run my own business so can work my own hours), I do my job, I try to take initiative and learn shit, don’t let me sky keys rot, try to be a positive voice in TS, help out as much as I can with other guildies needs etc. I like to think I’m a pretty good guild pal.
Because of this and my beautiful Australian accent in I have been showered with loots, for example I got a crown of rile before a tonne of aim chat members (Chuckslaw, Ksah, Mornin, Littlegyno, Lasher, Titanuk, Letsjoe) and am now pretty much BiS (3 PD loots just missing robe) not bad for an 8 month old scrub.
It’s not about being in aim chat that gets you the loots it’s the playtime and benefit you are to the guild, it just so happens that a lot of the aim chatters have ridiculous play times and give a lot to the guild as well. Correlation does not imply causation.
Now maybe I’m an exception (I’m not from asking around) but I have found the loot council in empire to be one of the best loot distribution systems in any guild I have ever been in. No long term old members just showing up to raids to collect loot then disappearing again People who benefit the guild much more than their raid attendance shows getting loot etc.
This is just my experience as an empire scrub, I know there are a lot of people out there I respect who have opposing opinions, but thought I would throw it out there anyway. (I still feel a sense of Aussie pride when Skar kills someone in my guild.)

This is a very easy opinion to have when your sitting on 3 PD loots,DMF robe and nearly best in slot when only playing for all of 8 months and being in the guild less then that.
The question is, if you didn't have those 3 items, if your gear was semi laughable, would you have even posted? What if they gave ya a DMF robe 6 months ago, some rot shit and then not much else since? But every-time you asked they slathered you with sorry man you got a DMF robe, as if no one else had gotten one at all or alts. What if you've been in the guild 8 months, and played 2 years + yet watched items flutter away to members who'd put in half the time. Played half the time. Disappeared after obtaining.
If your gear and watching of members gear up around ya became an inside joke, would this post be valid?
Omai is the road warrior and follower of the Australian hero Mel Gibson. He has just been fortunate that Mel Gibson has smiled upon him. But he is an exception. As far as AIM chat conspiracy. I don't know about all that. I am sure statically you can measure out its effect in a slight, but noticeable way. But is Empire this AIM chat loot fest with them running around single handedly gearing up AIM Chat people with no assistance to others, then no, not even close. Do they make bad calls sometimes? Sure do. Perfection is not expected or required.
Is it a better system then anything currently in place on the server, yes absolutely.
Will it crush whatever the snout lords come up with? Sure will.
