lot of millennials in this thread that think they should get a participation medal for showing up. Glad the game doesnt work like that, as much as some people try to push it in that direction.

Why aren't Aftermath and Awakened racing each other for Triplets and Ikatiar then?

It's *crickets* every time the A/A-only rotation is brought up. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander. Thought you guys liked racing? Isn't that why you play? Why rotate mobs then, unless you're all just massive hypocrites?

i would say 'good' means a net positive ratio of fun, comparatively, for the server, staff, and community. i don't deny that a competitive system is 'fun' for a select few, but if it comes at the cost of greatly reducing the amount of 'fun' for everyone else, it's not 'good'.

Don't get wrong I do think that using batphones or tracking something for 16h or clicking air etc. and all in all being in-game 10h+ a day at any point in the day and week is a very weird and probably wasteful usage of one's life.

That being said, I have never felt that "these people" 's fun was impairing on mine and making a negative balance of fun...

Is the crazy fake "competition" hard on people that are trying to compete on the same grounds but without being willing to sacrifice their whole life to it? The casual raiders? I've never been there but there must be some kind of grey area up there I guess. If I were there I might find that so-called competition to be bad as well.

On an instanced server you'd be quite right. This isn't an instanced server. Left to its own devices, the P99 raid game becomes a race to the bottom, the very bottom of neckbeardery and autistic behaviour.

When it's quite clear that the mask of "We like racing and competition!" that covers the A/A-only mob rotations is thinner than a wet kleenex, the question that must be asked of the people running this place is why the hell are they enabling these absolute losers?

[Pokesan]

to the people saying stuff like 'improvement' or 'growth', stop begging the question. you have to explain why those things are good for it to be a point worth considering.

don't be this guy

Does anyone else watch Swish's gif for like, minutes?

Funny thing is I don't anymore, however while reading posts a few days ago, I looked down at the cat that is in my avatar, and he was sitting next to me staring at the screen... I looked closely at what he was watching, and he was watching Swish's avatar lol.

a/a rotates a few mobs, so they will take their time prepping and killing these mobs, or put them off till later if there are better targets in window they can compete with each other for. so instead of competing with both a/a for these, you only have to compete with one with a more relaxed time restraint, giving you a better shot if you decide to go for it. a/a rotation doesnt mean mobs are off limits to all and limited to only a/a killing

autistic or weird behavior imo is constantly regurgitating extreme examples of neckbeards and crazy people pointed out or brought to life by the rnf circle jerk, and over explaining why you dont raid or why u even care to justify or feel better about not "competing", while not offering anything interesting or constructive to a discussion

also its all a big inside fun joke for people who get it (just like the forums), and have learnt to not take it seriously and enjoy the politics, and see it for what it is. if raiding/competing/politics dont interest you, then i suggest you dont do that.

but by damning your idea of what the "raid scene" is, that you have derived from rnf shitposts and a desire to feel in the know, or better about not getting pixels and your suggesting that no one competes and we rotate everything, then an equally unfair/autistic dumbed down stereotypical view of your idea would be a pixel waiting line so people can gear their toons for group content, after the honeymoon phase of learning to pull a mob and push a few buttons/not afk is over. and if you did "did all this stuff on live", then its even dumber to complain about the raid scene on a time lock server.

competition and racing for mobs can be alot of fun, but if thats not your cup of tea, then i suggest you dont do that thing
