Not sure DA is the only guild socking it. Just observation but I saw 11 IB sit in permafrost for 12hours or so. I am not sure if 12 hours is poopsocking. It was 12 hours with a few members 24hours on different days.

I also don't really give a fuck , because i'm just waiting for kunark.
I don't want to log on P1999 when show eq is ruining it. Great I make a named pop , I die or go afk for a few minutes. People show up almost instantly and take the named. Yet these people never show up if the named aren't up... hmmmm.

Fuck it. Play the game for fun. Don't cheat. We all like good loot, but don't cheat to get it. At least Poopsocking is legit. But it does take the fun out of eq and burn people out fast.

Poopsocking pretty much means camping in a way that nobody can compete with you. This came about b/c the old rules only made you have 15 in a zone to claim a boss spawn in said zone, now you must have 15 people within agro range of a boss spawn point to claim a boss prior to it spawning. Having 12 online in perma is not poopsocking. Having 15+ on vox's spawn point IS poopsocking. IB has not poopsocked since Sky came out and the rules were changed, nor do we want to.

As far as I am concerned, camping your raid buffed near a spawn is so akin to poopsocking we might as well just call it that. IB would prefer not to camp/poopsock raid targets, however, we are driven individuals who will do what is necessary to compete with a guild that has adopted this as their new strategy. Trackers and mobilization, my open challenge to DA to compete on this field instead of relying on poopsocking.

This sums it up for me. My version of fun happens to be the guy going home with all the marbles, but I refuse to cheat in order to do so. I find hitting the track button for 8 hours at a time to be very rewarding when that boss spawns and your guild gets there first. Any other guild can do the same, put in effort and dedication for tracking, train your people how to move quickly and efficiently, and kill bosses. Or you could make threads on the forums to ask for rotations so you can see a boss with zero effort. You won't see me wanting to hold your hand and sing kumbaya to make this happen; I am far too busy collecting scalps for Lt. Aldo Raine.

And the beat goes on....and on....and on.....

Rotation fails. FFA and FTE. I used to support rotation but i think that if you put in the time you deserve the reward. If your guild has no desire to put in the time to poopsock and you do..then join a guild that poopsocks.

Trans has never been a guild that has a desire to put in the time to poopsock *cough*.

Is trans even a guild anymore?

[Molitoth]

Molitoth, you had 19 and you got him to <5%. And, let's be honest, you caved in and sold out.

Well, 4 of those characters were dual boxed by people who have already been banned for boxing. Thats why I said 15. Put real people focusing all thier effort on those characters and Inny was a dead boss.

Yes, Eminence sold out. It was a smart move.

[Stefen]

Trystych, how do you reconcile your refusal to cheat with the recent actions of IB?

I'm referring to the many allegations of intentional training by an IB officer against various guilds engaged in raid boss content.
