Obvious troll post is obvious. Move this shit to RNF.

If anyone can spot a troll it's Samoht - undercover troll pretending not to be a troll but pointing out other trolls to keep that bad cover in tact.

So basically because raiding was like classic raiding they made rules to make raiding ... not classic?

Your classic experience seems vastly different from the classic experience of many people that played on servers with rotations.

OP, let me tell you something. I joined this server in Dec 2012.

I still do not understand the raid scene all that much.

Know why? Ever see the movie Heathers? Imagine not 4 Heathers, but 100. Now give them all OCD and neckbeards.

Prior to raid scene changes, no guild saw a mob ever aside from TMO. We had 72+ hour variance and every mob on the server was locked down for multiple years. I joined the server when it was only BDA and TMO as main guilds, which is funny to imagine. It's not that guilds were not capable of trying or killing raid mobs; it's just the level of commitment it took to attempt mobs was not worth it to every guild except TMO. I believe TMO would even leave VP dragons up until at least 2 had spawned. FE formed to try to contest TMO, but they never really succeeded to a point where they were not the underdog.

You are sugar coating it. For years, <Rampage> dominated spawns. No one could get *anything* unless they said so. There were what, 5 guilds? 6 guilds? who tried to contest <Rampage> but failed, mostly cuz gm's were in <Rampage>.

Then things got mixed up. But that was only last year.

I hate to be a pessimist, but it looks like the <Rampage> / GM gambit is back in play. Sad but true, this entire next expansion is basically already scripted, thanks to BDA

Ironically, the guilds that didn't want to commit back then are committing more now. Look at VS. Before one person could track and if you were clever, you could jav FTE before TMO knew it with a single person and be credited with the kill. (Pras Myuharin) lol
