the server, loot and the way things are

[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.

Blackwater broke a full fear spawn with exactly 11 people this week - flawlessly. DA wiped with 50 last week. The "big three" may be getting God loot, but I'm definitely enjoying the game more in Blackwater.

I'm a fan of Blackwater, and appreciate what they do. Its the same thing Eminence was doing before the DA merge. (Eminence broke fear with 9 members flawlessly I may add)

Divinity witnessed us (Eminence) almost take Innoruuk with 15 at 9am one morning and if we would've had another attempt at it, he would've died. Things can be done with the right classes, and enough time to get setup.

This game is the most fun when things are challenging. That said... there is so much competition on this server for mobs that trying to kill a dragon with 15 people isn't going to happen when the powerguilds show up in force within 10 minutes. Eminence was sick of doing simple fear/hate and had to go with the "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality.

If you want to experience end game kills/loot, I'm sorry but this is the way it is. You think Kunark is going to help??? probably not.. you will still see the top 2-3 guilds holding down every boss mob in game, thats just how dedicated people are on this server, they have been waiting YEARS for eqclassic.

No offense, Molitoth, but everything you just said can be summed up in three words - "We sold out".

You accept that this server will never have a healthy raid environment while guilds are zerg recruiting. Instead of working on a solution, you sacrificed your ideal play style to help perpetuate the problem.

If you enjoy a challenge, tell me, what exactly is the appeal of raiding with DA? 50+ people wiping to content that three groups can do, and now you've been exposed as using illegal third party programs to facilitate your mobilization. Is saying you've killed nagafen under those circumstance really something you'd want to celebrate?

Update: Shortly after my last post Slathar contacted me in game to let me know he was turning in all of his droppable loot, /guildremoving, and quitting the game.

Not even joking.

Careful, folks. The forums are a dangerous place.

One down, about two hundred to go.
See you next week, Slathar! <3

He should delete the loot. Publicly.

There is a simple answer to all of this. Stop forming goddamn guilds. What someone said on the first page, about 12 guilds being able to clear fear on this server, absolutely floored me.

Sometimes, when everyone is being retarded, I think a good punishment for you all would be to combine all these "raid guilds" into one, and let them have their mobs. Oh, the hilarity.

[Skope]

Yes, Loke, we did it with 11.

You also don't need 50 people to take down a god/dragon, regardless of how many of another guild(s) are there. If it's true and guilds have started afk-poopsocking at potential spawns then it's rather sad (and perhaps explainable by certain recent events). I could see it happening on the last potential spawn in a cycle (everything else is dead) but otherwise it's just not advantageous unless you're gunning for 1 mob in particular. What i'm saying is you don't need to mass recruit and poopsock to get a kill now. If you really want one then hop on a tracker and get to business

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

Definitely. Barring legit reasons irl.

Sounds like you have no RL.

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?
