@Sirken "a fair and legitimate chance at that target"

[Danth]

If you want your pixels, there's nothing stopping you from spending a tour of duty in one of the "A" guilds. Both those guilds get pixels and neither of them could be described as exclusive. They can't afford to be exclusive because they continually need to recruit people to replace personnel losses due to burnout. Spend six months or whatever getting a decent quantity of high-end pixels, then jump back down to whatever second- or third-rate guild you came from if that's what floats your boat. I don't see a lot of this in practice because most the folks who creep up to the high end tend to develop the Pixel Sickness in a bad way and end up pushing ("I really need that 3rd alt decked out!") till they burn out completely and quit (meaning in many cases they never really use those pixels they worked so hard for), but it's certainly possible.

If you want to experience the raid content, do so someplace else. None of the top guilds or potential contenders on P1999 have serious interest in doing that. It's just about the pixels. Stick a second-tier guild in North Temple Veeshan with no competition and it's the same, they just pull to the zone-in or some other similar location anyway. Nobody crawls through the entire thing.

Warning: Stockholm syndrome is real on this server. Don't freak out when you realize we're just more organized and focused versions of the same people you like to play with in your current guild.

I thought everyone was happy with picking out mobs? Let's keep doing that, works like a charm.

When Awakened got banned It was a breath of fresh to see other guilds get a shot at these targets right? Even Rogean or Sirken was streaming the event + an added earthquake to add to the fun.
That is why I made this thread to see if there is an alternative to be able to see other guilds get a better chance at these targets. It is not just for my own personal gains. But for the server as a whole. See everyone having a good time and just enjoying P1999 end game together without having to leave their respective guilds and join them just to gain access to it or wait for them to get banned.

I even heard there was a conga line at ToV entrance, so cool! Like REALLY cool.

Not reading any of these wall of text replies, but to answer your question OP, the best solution is to infiltrate one of he two top guilds with a crew of close friends. Befriend as many people within said guild as possible, paying special attention to court those of considerable talent. Carefully sow seeds of discontent amongst the ranks. When you feel the stage is adequately set, make your move. Incite revolution and either claim your seat as the new crowned leader at the conclusion tear from the guild such a significant portion of their roster that they flounder and eventually drown or at least long enough for your insurrection to come out on top.

You're welcome.

We did that on Quellious too!

And thus, <Explicit> was born. Memorieeeeees

I don't pay much attention to what Rustle does. They seem to exist somewhat outside the usual hierarchy of P1999 guilds. If you folks do the content properly, good on you.
