I think a good portion of us has said fucked up shit on the internet, idk, it's hard for me to take that kind of thing serious. If someone told me to kill myself on the internet, it would mean nothing to me.
For the same reason Monrezz/Detoxx instantly guild removed the guy in AM that told me to kill myself in OOC? It’s unacceptable behavior from anyone. Some things don’t deserve second chances. Telling folks to kill themselves and that they hope their family in the hospital dies is orders of magnitude worse than the things I’ve observed on this server. And reality is that reputation is *supposed* to matter here.

Of course, I’d say logging in another guild’s bot to train them is also unacceptable behavior, but that’s for another thread.

I used to be super immersed in this game. I still am but it's different now. It's not about pixel immersion, its more like 'what is gonna happen today' and sometimes I'm surprised by something cool and amusing. Guys like OP and his budy are fun to interact with because sometimes this situation gets avoided and they become friends instead of hateful enemies over some pre-originated digital bits that have sorta existed since 1999 ish and just are.

I mean it's not like the pixels are unique. Or special. Their just a database entry and some shared graphics with like a global graphics file of other items.

I think several swords use the abashi icon and in game graphic?

But needless to say, I would have given someone my abashi, but not if they threatened me and called me names, then I would probably kick them from the guild and let them think about their life choices, maybe report them to the online safety PC police. These guys don't need perma bans tho, they need some incentive to keep trying.

I think what happens in a lot of cases is these guys just can't get it right, so they fight and scream and get upset only instead of being good sports. There needs to be a way we can rehabilitate these people so they learn to be obedient and lawful about pixel acquisition and to wait their turn like gentleman. If they get banned or quit, they just reroll and come back and yell at us again with a different name.

IDK. Some people can't be rehabilitated tho. And some people will always demand they get at least 10 abashi's while other people have none. It's not for me to decide who gets abashis, because I'm not willing to personally put in the effort to see one drop off a mob I helped kill.

So if you have to kill a noble creature to attain abashis, does this make you evil?

4-6 hour contested vulak raids with blockers is brutal.

Playing smart throughout the cycle should bring an advantage, so don't screw up and get to a point where you have to concede mobs.

All guilds have messed up at some point or another and lost an advantage.
It sucks, but forces us all (Regardless of you guild tag) to try and play better.

I would not want to be part of a guild that waits until 9AM to kill the best target in the game just so that competition was reduced or eliminated. To each his own, but I would rather lose contested Vulaks than win free ones. Obviously if another guild needs to concede a Vulak you take it and move on.

Pleased to hear you’d rather sit around playing with yourself whilst ~5 people do anything useful for 5 hours. I’d love to have that much spare time. Also, believe it or not, there are other time zones than EST, hence Freedumb are constantly badgering Riot’s Eurasia playerbase to be competitive during ‘muricas off-peak.

This is just silly. For the same reason I don't want to play PUBG or CS:GO against bots, I don't want to play EQ raiding against nobody. I really hope Riot sticks around for a while because otherwise raiding just ceases to be fun until the next raiding guild emerges.
