This is pathetic. Take a break! How deep does this addiction run?

People who get off on "competition" need to leave Aftermath's automatic loot conveyor and come join an underdog guild.

The wins are much more enjoyable, the losses hurt a lot less.

Wanting competition translates to, needing opposing entities to deny pixels. They dont wasn't less wins and more struggle. They want more people to take lunch money from and laugh at. This is the type of culture you must embrace to be a top dog on p99.

Rooted dragons are nice but competition is still basically herp derp we threw 100 warm bodies at a dragon at 3 am while normal human beings are asleep

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Not sure why anyone thought rooted dragons would stop people from raiding at 3am, rooted dragons probably made it worse for other guilds.

On the one hand, more time investment so it's harder for smaller guilds to get an off-hours dragon. On the other hand, we've seen Vulak, Vyemm, and even Dozekar go to non-AM guilds more in the last month than in the 3 months before it.

No system is going to be perfect, but based on current results vs old results, the current system seems to be better. Even if the share of mobs going to the top guild remained completely unchanged, at least clearing to dragons and fighting them in their lair is less fucking boring than waiting for them to be delivered to the zoneline on a silver plate.

That’s true I’m not against rooted for the record I like, they may get a odd doze/vyemm/vulak but they are losing the meat of tov where they use to compete.
