Most idiotic idea for sure.

Red lesson 24: Swish has an unlimited amount of idiotic ideas.

You can call poopsock all you want. But as Sirken post clearly says:

More organized guilds kill more stuff. You can cry and say its not true all you want but when i see some casuals guilds taking hours to pull a mob to the zone in of ToV, or take 40mins to mobilize for a kill, or 20mins to set up a Complete heal chain... all i see is a bunch of unprepared people who are just waiting to press the "Free Pixels button" without any effort to push theirselfs to be better.

It is a game? sure it is... but you can be good at it, or a total crap who gets carried.

Man, rereading that I can't believe Sirken actually said you could get dragons on this server without wall staring. I honestly have no idea what he means there, because anything contested here involves poopsocking and that's 95% of what matters.

hmmm does he mean that if you take shifts no one man will spend 16 hours starring at a wall or guilds can work out how they want to change things between themselves (lol naieve)

It's hard enough to find one person to stare at a wall for an hour, let alone 16.

If 8 people took a two hour shift each you have the entire window covered. It only takes one runner to win.

The more dedicated people you have to run and willing to sit the better your odds are of FTE. The more people you have that have spent hours practicing the better they will be.

Think of it like an actual Olympic race. The guys that train hard and mentally prepare have a better chance of winning, just like here. The more Olympic racers you have qualified the better chance at a medal.

If you show up to an Olympic race fresh off the couch after finishing a few beers and a bag of chips and nobody else from your country has shown up.....yeah you're gonna have some problems.

Just to add,

If you don't have people prepared to compete or haven't trained to compete with the best then you obviously don't want it as bad.

I think its best if none of us want it as bad as Olympic racers, don't you agree? I mean, it being a 18 year old elf simulator and all, that would be pretty sick.

Well I would love to play EQ but i have FTE practice most of the day. When I'm not training my FTE I'm RMTing my winnings so I'll have even less time to actually play the game

sums it up best... these two posts. EQ was built by people that envisioned cooperation to overcome group mobs, then later "raid" mobs. And some of these people have turned into "competitions" on who can deny pixels to others, while accumulating the most for themselves, all the while comparing it to the Olympics.

Sad really.
