TMO declares Gorenaire an endangered species!

Afterlife and FoH and Triton and such were the real EQ badasses because they had to figure this stuff out; we just look stuff up on the wiki. All the strategies, whether its using mallets for aggro, or stacking resist gear and bard resists, or FD/CoS pulling, or using Staff of Runes to dispell AoEs, are known to the entire server. Executing them cleanly takes some practice of course, but I have complete confidence that if Acyrid were to elect me their supreme leader and all other L50-60 toons were deleted we would have no problems killing every raid mob, going to VP, etc. Obviously not everyone has farmed the appropriate gear but that isn't hard either.

THE REASON TMO KILLS STUFF FIRST IS THAT NOT EVERYONE IS WILLING TO SIT AT THEIR COMPUTER FOR HOURS TRACKING AND DROPPING WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE 24 HOURS A DAY.

If you guys would do me the favor of replacing every instance of "competition" in your posts with "time spent at computer" I would really appreciate it.

The point that Deajay, Giegue, and I are trying to make is that some of us never played Kunark or Velious on Live. We simply want to kill some of the boss mobs that we never got to kill, experience a little new content, maybe get a sweet item or two, and do it without losing our jobs and social lives. This "man up" shit just makes me want to vomit, which is why I left VD several weeks ago. I'm perfectly content not being in the top guild on the server. The problem with the current system is that the batphoning guilds get literally 100% of the mobs. So yeah, I think leaving Gorenaire up is great.

Anyway this became something of a rant, but just for a moment try to step back and look at this from the perspective of a casual gamer.

1 tmo was the uber guild of our server we had to create strategies too, usually followed by wipes and revisions

2. If what u are saying is u only need trackers to compete than why did TR and the IB/VD alliance fail? They were all tracking nonstop

Gore is nothing compared to Nexona and Hosh, hell even Druushk is harder than Gore.

Gore's healing is casted. Nexona, Hosh and Druushk have crazy retarded regen combined with their higher level + resists + neg multiplier on AEs. That doesn't include how to pull them, which I am sure most people on here don't know and the ones that do wouldn't tell someone like you.

All I have seen from the majority of people posting on here, is that they are not happy with anything and will never be happy, no matter what steps are taken to please them it is always "not enough".

this isnt just for TMO & EQ, but most mmorpg that ever existed

its no secret that unemployed numbers helps with raiding, just like the unemployed gamer will reach lvl 50 before the busy salary type who plays 3 hours en evening tops after work.

concentration is probably the best "skill" you can have otherwise.

I work a Salary job for 9 hours 5 days a week I have a full time girlfriend and an active social life.

Stop acting like logging on for 2 hours to clear VP once a week is some sort of no lifer moment.

Wait, I thought you barely logged in and were really just a forum troll - at least, according to your guild, who says your posts don't really matter, because you're not really an active member??

he usually isn't logged in doing anything. He logs in, kills something and then logs off.

Or, like i do...

Logs in and afks for hours/days while he does random shit because he forgot he left EQ running.

the majority of level 60s on this server are in TMO (doesn't care) and VD (hiatus)

BDA made a few attempts but since we're we have mostly a casual playerbase our DPS wasn't plentiful enough (we didn't have enough 60s) we couldn't get it done

maybe BDA+Taken+Div only 55+ players could make a run at it but her fear is pretty brutal for anyone that doesn't have the levels or gear to handle it

she's easily the hardest dragon around aside from the stuff in VP
