What would you suggest we do? Should we NOT allow all people to apply? We execute well and have strong leadership, so it's no surprise people who want a higher caliber guild choose to join us.

Making this about 'poaching' is pitiful. You're playing the victim when you need to look inward.

Look. Inward. Play better, smarter, faster. You can absolutely win targets, but dragging the raid scene into tit-for-tat petition-quest is pathetic.

Lol, ST’s actions are what’s pathetic. Creating the biggest Zerg force relative to competing guilds in history and barking all over how you love competition. There’s high caliber players in smaller guilds, but when the Zerg cherry picks those players by offering them incentives to join and recruiting through private messages, that’s poaching. Monopolizing targets by throwing 2x the number of bodies as the next guild is not skill, it’s zerg. If you’re proud of that, good for you, I’m just calling it what it is. Don’t get so defensive, competing guilds are still trying for targets, so maybe you should get back recruiting and maintain that 50% of server pop metric.

As a founding member of Seal Team and a long-time raider on Blue, I'm definitely proud of what we've built. We are the most successful raid guild in P99 history. We've made mistakes, we're not perfect (obviously, lol), but we've played the game well and are having an insanely fun time along the way.

Actually, this is probably the most fun I've had playing an MMO. I hope you're able to enjoy it as much as we have.

We can't. We never can. Because people like you and those in your guild force everyone into turning a video game into a full time job in order to "compete", on every iteration of this server.

but what their members don't realize is the way their gearing system works benefits the top 40% RA members and leave the lower members holding the bag.
I was one of the Lower members at the start of velious and I have more items than most of the leadership. Obviously you know nothing about the guilds loot system so good luck with your tin foil sales on etsy

How many of ST members even qualify for raider status? What are the truly desired items that you have?

I don't see the problem? every gearing system is going to benefit people who play more, because they are at the events where gear drops. are you simple?
