When was the last time you saw Xzerion even post let alone flaunt anything? Even funnier that youre directly addressing him when he probably wont even see the post or reply to it.
Having a name on a forum directly linked to a server with the title 'Developer' underneath it is flaunting just from one post. It's no secret. Hell, if he never posted here, most people probably wouldn't even know he was a dev.

I think you're splitting hairs to be honest. This was not the point of my post.

Just because we're forum pals doesn't mean I have to like your guild [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Devs/GMs/guides/moderators are going to play the game and they're likely going to be in raiding guilds. Like I said, it's natural in an emulated server and should be expected but it also breeds a sense of "OMFG FAVORITISM," which this server isn't immune from.

There were guides/GMs/mods in guilds before and there still are, the issue of favoritism is something that's extremely touchie when people devote so many hours to this crap and the gms/devs/guides try hard not to sway towards their own guild's side. Outting their names and being transparent about it doesn't help and it's quite clear why Uth would get so uppity about that little prank.

class dismissed.

Put yourself on the other side of the fence. If The Mystical Dark Ascension Fusion Blew the Fuse Order or whatever they're calling themselves now had a dev in the guild, TR would be crying blood every time a decision was made that even slightly favored them.
Whenever DA did something douchey or cheated and they got away with it, I cried favoritism. but eventually I just realized they were good at douchebaggery/cheating and just couldn't get caught [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hypothetical situation: Could it be that you were confident they'd get caught one day and you guys wouldn't, because you have a dev in the guild? Sort of a sense of security that, one day, they'd get their comeuppance?

And sure enough, they did! 3 full weeks total of raid suspensions. I don't remember IB/TR getting any raid suspensions for doing similar things that DA did.

Just food for thought really. That, and I'm feeling confrontational today.

Honestly, this whole GM favoritism stuff *for the most part* isn't even coming from the raiding guilds. Sure, Durison/Veric/Aadill have flipped some shit in the past over like that mob in perma pathing (which didn't REALLY favor anyone and was repaired the very next patch), however, for the most part it is people like Anger or Yendor just fueling the fire with these posts concerning a portion of the game they don't even really participate in (to my knowledge at least).

The issue here shouldn't be TR having some fun and trolling the competition - that is part of competition just like them calling us Transgendered Ragequiters in their last update... how many petitions did you get about that? My guess would be zero. The issue, as someone said earlier in this thread is these thin skinned cry babies that have to petition every time they felt they have been the butt of a joke or dealt a mild injustice.

If people weren't such vaginas about everything maybe Uth wouldn't be so high strung.

Just my 2cp.

no.. not really no :P

just for example, durison never entered into diplomacy (at least the several times that I tried). Eventually, he assigned someone the role of diplomacy with me.

One time when we had a disagreement over cazic, the diplomat and I came to an agreement. my guild followed because I said to. Durison told his diplomacy officer to fuck himself (roughly translated) and they went ahead and did their bullshit anyway.

another time nizzarr trained the entire temple on us. nothing happened to them.


there're examples of douchebaggery. cheating? well. they had several bans for duping, macroorshoweqing, and probably other stuff I'm not aware of.

we did not do things similar to this.
