not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

[kank]

So do smaller guilds just need to band together and donate more money to get their voices heard and a rotation enforced? Forum speculation seems to be getting nowhere.

3+ years of experience tells me that it makes no difference. Further, recent GM decisions show the exact opposite.

I don't understand why people don't understand the truth in this.

If you want to kill dragons join TMO or FE and be near your computer 24/7.
If you want to raid Fear/Hate/Sky then join one of the 5-6 scheduled day of the week raid guilds.
If you want to play casually play in a casual guild and log in whenever you want.

There is nothing stopping people from raiding. Joining a casual guild then complaining about not getting to kill dragons is like working as a waitress at red robin and bitching about the waitress at the steak house next door getting better tips. If you want to get the better shit then go to the establishment that allows that, but at the same time know the requirements are probably more demanding but hey, welcome to the real world.

Except the guild on top cheating, training, ksing, and exploiting. But, hey, you obviously have NO idea what you're talking about or you wouldn't make it seem like this is a legitimate atmosphere of competition in the first place.

What is stopping you from joining TMO or FE?

I was in TMO and removed myself when they merged with DA.

I do not willingly play with cheating pieces of shit. I would rather delete all of my accounts and characters than cheat on EQemu.

Next stupid response?

Then join FE like everyone else who hates TMO?

The sentiments in this thread must be how everyone else in the world feels about USA...

We live in a free and capitalistic world...and yes the USA is also guilty of cheating sometimes here and there...

Love being an ammurican!

Does anyone have a link to that thread where the +/- 48hrs was explained? The one where it was claimed that the reason for adding the massive variance was to avoid poopsocking, adding something like "it's extremely unlikely that a guild will sit..." and the rest of that horseshit?

It's been more than three years of the variance not working yet it's still here. An additional variance is added and still hasn't been removed while we get this:

Rogean: Mobs will no longer immediately aggro players within 3 seconds of spawning, and they will be immune to any non-targetted spells (PB AEs or Targetted AEs they aren't the target of).

You guys are willing and have the time to change the way all the NPCs in the game react to keep a few poopsockers from abusing M+KB recorders but you're asking the rest of us to swallow the changes, which don't benefit anyone outside of those poopsockers, and an additional variance on top of the one that hasn't worked for three years?

Is this a case of favoritism or another case of poor judgment? Is it indifference? What is it? You don't have to answer here and you're probably not going to, but nor should you be upset when we fill in the answers for you. You're veering further and further away from classic and the same principles you claim define the server while claiming to listen to the players' sentiments yet the recent actions show the exact opposite. You don't have to answer here, but be aware that it speaks volumes.

You can care or can not. You can listen or you can ignore. You can admit that the non-classic rules favor a particular class of people (and haven't ever deterred these people from doing what they aren't supposed to be doing) or you can ignore it. You can say that there are changes coming to the server or you can enact changes in the complete opposite direction. But for the love of god, can we get some clarity here?
