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
People actually do this. Please be respectful.

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.
Blue99 fte race be like

"to win" "practicing the better they will come" "train hard and mentally prepare" "chance at a medal" "Olympic race"


"Yeah, you're gonna have some problems."

If the world keeps going with this cry baby mentality and the welfare of everyone deservs to win something for just existing... soon you will see all the olympics people have the same medal collor so people dont go home upset... cuz after all... they all worked hard for it right??? should be rewarded the same.

Fucking beta male mentality.

The beta male mentality is the one that thinks this is a dick measuring contest in the first place. And really, what an awful place to proxy your manhood.

Sirken made his point pretty clear. If you want them Vulak endgame pixels then you are going to have to put in the work for them. It's not just about being able to put in the hours in to track and poopsock. You also have to be able to win the races on top of that. So get organised. The rewards will be worth it.
We can not complain about the top guilds doing a great a job. End game is a competition.

Waiting for the apples to grow on the apple tree is one thing.
Climbing up the apple tree to retrieve those apples before your rivals get them is what needs to be done.

It's worth repeating: these people don't give a shit about competition. If they wanted competition, they'd play on the server where direct competition is the entire point. They say they get a rush from yellow text, but what they get a rush from is akin to a slot machine win. If it was a rush from competition they got, they'd go to red and savor the rush of defeating 50 opponents and a dragon simultaneously. For a competitive mind, that'd be far more satisfying than having a two step lead in a fixed speed race. These people want to "win". They think by making an artificial contest where they make up the rules and the conditions for "winning" they've accomplished something noteworthy. But it's a farce. They are certainly not winners by any cognitively healthy person's definition.

Can the same be said for BDA? They wanted rotations, not competition...too bad you screwed up the last one and had to leave the server. If there was ever a healthy dose of EQ karma, BDA got it.

As much as I'd like to get you on yet another irrelevant BDA rant that leads to yet another forum ban, you should really just get over it, Swish.

I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that Redwiz, the biggest fucktard left on the server, talks and acts like a refugee from /r/redpill. How that douchenozzle managed to avoid the Chardok RMT purges is beyond me. "Beta males", lol.

"Haha, BDA stopped banging their heads against the wall to fix the system here and instead went somewhere where literally everything about the raiding is better! What karma!"
