Or when you FTE CT with 25ppl, so you have just enough to keep everyone alive and stall a good while so more people have time to log in

Never happened its a concedable offense. wakened would never do this and can confirm if they had the mob would have been forfeited or a ban would have insued.

Pretty much, that's why agnarr and phinny are successful because you can casually raid on a healthy schedule. You get to experience content without the drama.

Without the drama is a huge plus.

In terms of healthy schedule though that's really not true. You can be a very strong contributor in Awakened if you play 5-10 hours a week. I know in a progression server you're expected to farm farm farm and raid raid raid raid.

I have down weeks where I play 2 days for 4 hours total and can make 10-20% attendance. I have up weeks where I spend 4 hours alone farming Shiny Brass Idols before I even start raiding. It's all a balance but Awakened has a strong enough core that you can get some rest, not have to quit your job, etc. to kill a mob.

Why risk 10 days of mobs for any single mob? Awakened has kicked players who violated server rules.

This hasn't always been the case, for example until recent changes in rules you could concede if you get caught and other guild had to accept the concede, but the harm was already done at that point because you had ruined the encounter for others. And it was brutally abused rule, because risk of getting caught is minimal. Also conceding single raid mob for next spawn doesn't work at all in raid scene with more than 2 guilds. And there is also example where Aw leadership knew that player was cheating but they allowed him to do that until he got caught and caused them to get 10 day suspension.

[QUOTE=mefdinkins;2577966]I think it's a cop out to say, "every member of AW/AM are evil, that is why we don't compete."

I'm not saying that every member of AW/AM are evil, I'm just saying that they are fine with it and also supporting it.

I thought for SURE you had a new word you pulled out that I never read before, only to look it up and find you had simply mispelled "fidelity!"

Sorry, had to check fraps and you are correct. It was 31 players and they managed to stall it 10 minutes 10 seconds, before they dragged the whole trainkite on CT to make sure nobody could engage it for a good while because of the all mobs near it and causing backwash to wipe other guild because of the unannounced train drop.

31 is not a stall... Awakened can kill CT with low 30's numbers and good class makeup. And im sure the reason there was a wipe was due to our bard kiting, died or due to leashing mechanics. Also, i doubt it was a 10 minute engage before this happened because no cleric can sustain mana casting DL for that long. FRAPS please.

My apologies i thought you were saying Awakened did this.

Poor poor Raato. Always trying to stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Please learn something before posting about it. Not only for this quote, but everything you spew about A/A. Maybe speak to your CSG leaders, or pay more attention, I don't know. Do something...

Both A/A had racers that were "tabbing" out to run faster. Where is your outcry of Aftermath leadership knowingly cheating? Let me reiterate, Aftermath leadership knowingly cheating.. Not knowing their member base was... but leadership itself. So, why on earth would Awakened ask the members to not tab out when Aftermath leaders were doing it?

It actually was Awakened. I'll see if I'm bored enough to upload fraps at some point. I honestly thought it was kinda impressive stall strategy because it wasn't so obvious when it happened.
