Then I guess I misinterpreted your post? It seemed like you were implying the opposite (that time investment isn't what causes certain guilds to monopolize raid mobs, but that the casuals are just disorganized/unskilled/unknowledgeable).

Nah, I didn't mean to say that anyone was unskilled or anything like that. My bad if it came across that way.

I can't deny that winning races to raid mobs on p99 takes a lot of time, but I do get grumpy when the people who aren't getting kills act as if all that is the only thing that is required to win competed-for kills.

What amuses me is that people are always all over these forums saying that the reason they don't raid is because they aren't willing to put in the TIME. No one ever says that they lack the leadership skills or the knowledge of the game or the motivation to organize, manage, and mobilize a guild.

OK, I will concede that there are some things beyond pure time. I suppose for lack of a better word we could call it discipline. Again, some of us consider this a GAME. If I wanted to join the army I would do that.

everyone has a different view on why they like eq, from tmo's posters they think everyone has the same view and dedication to the game as them. the dedication is great if that's what you want to do, but for the most part the raid game on p99 is just not worth the time to play that style. taunt, brag, humiliate, dramatise, etc that won't change anything at the end of the day, most people are grounded in reality and will remain opportunistic in the game to do things on their own time.

raid scene on p99 is like a sand box. currently its littered with pieces of shit everywhere. some people overlook this and play in the shit filled sand, but others avoid it because their tolerance isn't the same. if a clean patch of sand is seen they may jump in and play for a while. eventually the pieces of shit will be removed or new sand will be added. but the sand box is only so big so it will fill up with pieces of shit again as long as people keep taking shits in the sand.

This about sums it up. TMO wants people to play in the shit-filled sandbox with them but everybody recognizes it's wise not to play in the shit. Either more sand or less shit should remedy the problem (more raid mobs or less hardcores)

lol you little nig, I stuck it out with TMO for that extra month or two just so I wouldn't give this impression. You do realize when I left we had just gotten the last 4 or 5 Trakanon's in a row and were stream rolling some shit right?

i remember you left as quick as you got the tooth infact hours later , u were not tmo when we we got the streak victory , actualy most of them i remember people angry at you because they couldnt understand u left when we where winning and u got loot.

But well i dont expect same shit of jabroni a dude who lvled with me over 6 lvls in sebilis hs .

baub · #**150** 04-18-2012, 06:01 PM

so i left to get loot even though we were winning and i was getting loot?

your own words man

if i craved pixels so much I would've stayed in TMO and continued to be unhappy. I guess it was real selfish of me to join IB to be with my friends who I had spent the last year+ with

some of you really need to moveon.org
