Nope, it's boring. I guess that's why close to zero people do it.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who actually thinks Aftermath has 30 people in ToV intensely starting at a wall because "woo, we're raiding!".

People "socking" are typically alt-tabbed out playing another game or watching Netflix, or just chatting in voice or guild (socialising with elf pals in an MMORPG; controverisial, I know).

The small number of people actively tracking tend to do a couple hours, earn some DKP, then get a replacement and something else once the boredom sets in.

I don't have it in me to crawl for potentially 16 hours just to find out one of the other guilds in my alliance got the loot anyway. Nothing fun about it.
You seem to have very strong opinions on this server's end game. Weren't you in <Clue> like nine months ago? You would have loved the chance to share raid loot with another guild back then, amirite?

Ring 10 would be probably the biggest single upgrade I could get (that clicky regen is bonkers) and every time I go to the turnin spot and there's like 12 people standing there, I just log the fuck out. I don't have it in me to stare at the screen for potentially 16 hours just to find out one of the other 12 people there can click their trade window in 400 milliseconds. Nothing fun about it.

I don't have it in me to work for potentially 8 or more hours on multiple days just to find out that I don't qualify for healthcare through my employer. Nothing fun about it.

Almost nobody stares at walls. You present yourself as being all about accuracy, so be accurate. People talk GoT theory, crack jokes, watch shows, catch up on email, change diapers, eat, chat in GC, make memes, and on and on. During peak raid hours, there MIGHT be a half dozen people actually only staring at a wall and doing nothing else, if that.

Loramins idea of raiding is to kill Geonids in WL during and earthquake, and alt tabbing to post another rotation agreement on the forums between spawns. How would he know?

Dude, look at the title of the thread. Raiding is just an ancillary issue here; the main topic is staring at walls while waiting for stuff like Shady/Angry (mainly Angry now that Shady no longer has variance ... thank you staff!)

And yes, many people actually do stare at walls for hours at a time for those. You can do something else on another screen, but if you don't at least half watch the wall you miss your 10 second window to roll.

Never miss a chance to make a (lame, fake) personal attack over a difference thought eh Branamil?
