You never hear about Omni/Rustle getting suspended tho...what are they doing that A/A aren't?

They are doing nothing. Nothing to petition, no supensions. If A/A didn't compete on mobs we wouldn't get suspended either.

The whole idea of "competing" needs to be deconstructed. It's really just griefing other players by denying them dragons to kill.

That there's some value in that sort of "competition" is an impressive delusion. Not sure why the staff here enables it.

Then again it is classic.

The problem is with the nature of EQ/P99. The simplest solution to keep people from being crazy is to only allow raid creatures to die at a sane time, something like "Raid mobs may only be killed between 8est - 12est". This eliminates pretty much every issue people have with raiding (the employed at least). The problem is now you have 700 players in ToV contesting raid mobs because every slap d!ck guild on the server wants in on the pixels. Every fight becomes a desync sh!t fest and its fun for no one.

There are no winners in Elf sim – remember these words and hold them close.

This would completely deny raid content to europe and asia. Thereby forcing them to play during less sane hours. 4am est works pretty well for europa(noon) and asia(7pm). 4am sounds pretty good for them.

Well said. Everything you wrote is exactly my sentiment on the raid scene here and the players involved. As soon as a raider uses the word "compete" or any variation of the word I can't help but roll my eyes.

The problem is the nature of people.

the nature of some of the raiders on P99.

Basically, p99 players are disadvantaged kids just trying to get a second chance at life. The raid scene is Jerry Sandusky. The gm's are Joe Paterno who sometimes tells Jerry to cut it out, but they never actually change the game, and so shit keeps happening. And then it all blows up and the gm's are like, well, no one was forcing you to hang around with Sandusky, so tough bananas.

Funny, and yet, sadly true about the top raid scene.

Picture if you will, the neckbeariest of them all, driving their spouse (or blow up doll?) to the mall during the holidays. They bring snacks in the car to poopsock the best parking spot. Once they FTE this spot; they scream at the other drivers that they are cucks and should try harder. After exiting the car and disposing of all the pee jugs and cheetos wrappers, they once again manage to gain FTE @ the door, while holding it for no one else. Slinging insults at each store attendant and shop keepers due to the mad house rush for their holiday gains. Instead of "Merry Christmas my beloved family" it is, "HURRY UP AND GET IN THE CAR YOU WORTHLESS MAGGOTS! I've got pixels to deprive those casuals!"

But it won't help. The few that (for some idiotic reason) get to force the many to play by their rules or not at all, have already drawn the conclusions they want. They won't look at any arguments against (no matter how good they are) and will continue to twist their own arguments for (no matter how stupid they are).

It's definitely classic. Although it's worse on here because even on live people weren't poopsocking individual NToV dragons (except Vulak) because they usually cleared yardtrash and usually stuff like Lendi was up.

Live also experienced new content, which kept the guilds progressing through, leaving older content for people that hadn't progressed yet.

This won't happen here, making this servers Raid experience very much not classic.

Nothing? Maybe Omni... get the fuck outta here. What we do diff is pick and choose our battles. You guys on the other hand fucking train us on sontalak and try to vulture it like we are awakened. Holy shit pull your head out your ass unless you want that fraps to go up too.
