"My shitty small guild couldn't kill stuff on its own and had to ally for trakanon.

Fuckin BDA is so shitty and Chest is the worst leader in EQ history" - Swish

this is exactly the point I was making. BDA railed against TMO for determining lesser guilds unworthy(undeserving) of pixels.

BDA became the very thing they sought to defeat - after battling TMO for the rights of casuals to pixels; not long after, they themselves declared 'lesser guilds' unworthy of the same share they, a self-described casual guild, deserved.

I doubt you will ever understand how badly Tiggles beat you. It's quite sad.

There's a pretty big difference there. I assume you know the differences and are just trolling me but just in case you're legitimately that dumb I'll explain briefly before bed. TMO was controlling like 98% of the raid content in the entire game. Screwing literally everyone else. You're comparing that to BDA saying "Hey maybe the 3x guilds of 10 ppl shouldn't get 3 rotation slots slowing the whole rotation down for everyone else that gets 1 rotation slot for the same number of people"

Like.. How is that not reasonable?

BDA had all the power to dictate how R was created, ran, and destroyed. That is really not much different than TMO controlling all the content. The casual guilds in the end traded TMO for BDA as oppressors of the pixels.

That is completely false and disingenuous to all the other class R guilds of that era. There were no guilds of 10 people, the guilds had legitimate numbers during prime time/weekends etc. Teaming of targets occurred to cover shortages in people for spawns in inconvenient times. These alliances were constantly shifting in any particular guild set participating for a given slot.

You are so hung up on 3 guilds teaming a few times on a few slots vs 1 slot BDA, you consistently ignore the fact that for every 1 kill BDA would have to do, another guild might have to do 3 or 4 times to get the same volume of loot. While it would slow down how many attempts at a target you would get, the volume of loot for a BDA or a teamed up guild would remain the same.

If BDA found such volume of loot to be too limiting, they should have went to C, where the was no limits. BDA never did, it was too hard for them to compete for those pixels. It was preferable for them to take an easier slot for pixels for awhile with no competition, then dismantle the system entirely and crush into dust all the small guilds.

R was for casual guilds, BDA in no way shape or form was conducting as one. It was treated as a walled garden for easy loot, away from TMO/IB competition. BDA was the menace of R, and the guilds and people that played in that era will always hate people with the BDA tag. BDA and TMO from that era of the server will always be remembered as the thieves and oppressors of pixels.

Only to retards.

You became the very monster you once fought. Where once TMO was the arbiter of who deserved pixels, BDA stepped into that role. Thus ended the rotation.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
