Loramin/Yendor, you guys should just go play on TAKP. There are GM enforced rotations and you can do Luclin, which actually has a few more interesting raids than tank & spank Velious. Boxing isn't even mandatory. Having been a champion of rotations in the past, I can vouch that they are Boring.

The truth is you are living in the golden age of Project 1999 raiding! You don't have to track every raid target for 96 hours at a time, but merely wait for bi-monthly repop! Literally all you would have to do is take the Aegis alliance to north during a repop and start crawling in. Raid rules do not allow the zone pull guilds to train you. You would get Vulak easily as long as you had part of your guild on each side of the lava pit.

But you refuse to do this, because you don't want to put even the smallest amount effort in. Instead you are following your r-selected evolutionary strategy of status signaling and manipulation. And you are getting told to fuck off. Newsflash: it's only going to get worse. We normal people have had enough insufferable tools like you destroying the country. And your epigenetics are simply not tuned for the imminent (more) k-selected future. If you toughen up a bit, your life from here will be one failure after another.

You're clueless, Trumptard. Go figure.

There's no bi-monthly repops and you're nuts if you don't think Detoxx and co will pull their raid mobs right the fuck over you. They'll /shout and /ooc once their FTE goes out of course. And you'll either consider yourself warned and get the fuck out of the way or you'll get plowed.

You don't get to stand on the tracks on P99 and then claim outrage for getting trained. I love the concept, but it won't work here. Also, who are you going to complain to when you do get trained?

The lights are on, but no one is home.

One guild was actually told to get out of ToV by Sirken when they were doing just this.

Except you forget I DID put the time and effort in. Years ago. I did some "poopmittening" (camping out for and tracking mobs nearing the end of window, not poopsocking the entire window.) I did the FTE races pulling Talendor, Gorenaire, and Sev.

It was all stupid and required me to be chained to a computer pressing track for hours at a time, understand all sorts of raid rules, sign up for a batphone, jump on at 4am on a weekend (wasn't going to answer batphones on a work night... that's where I drew the line) to help Vesica Dei or, later BDA, kill a raid mob.

Then some asshole troll who had access to our forums posted a RL pic of my guildleader for the RNF sociopaths to make fun of here, chasing her and the core of my guild off to another server to get away from the toxicity.

Those who were left mostly merged with BDA. So I did the raid shit with them for a while, but wasn't about to poopsock all of Velious so I quit. Came back, retired from raiding altogther, and just spending my time helping new players level and gear up.

I haven't the heart to tell them that certain groups of these people who have made this game an unhealthy obsession will never let them see certain content unless they join an uber guild and "put in the correct level of time/effort" mandated by server bullies who are dead set against them seeing any raid loot, who will go through legendary efforts to make sure they don't get any raid loot, and will actively rub it in their faces on the forums like a bunch of entitled asshole elitists.

So no, I have no need to join TAKP. My home, or whatever is left of it after toxic sociopaths chased the majority of my friends in two guilds away, is right here. I am done raiding, I am no threat to anyone's precious loot. Like I said, I know my place on the totem pole around here.

What pisses me off is that my place was decided for me by other players who somehow deemed themselves the arbiters of who deserves what, not by game mechanics or developers.

But hey, if it makes everyone feel better to call this competition "classic" every time there's an assault on the status quo, despite this level of competition was artificially created by having no progression beyond Velious and allowing players to gear their characters for 6+ years of Kunark, then so be it.

As long as you let us know when your sphincter is loosened enough to take that impending NTOV rotation of which you got a short preview.

[Mead]

So rotations on your server weren't in the classic era

Got it

[Maschenny]

Competition just happens when multiple people or groups want the same target. Why would i need to find evidence of it?

Also, i don't consider what you posted to be evidence. Some hearsay from another thread?
