I haven't played in awhile and just came back again. I have to say that Seal Team was always toxic and a problem. But welfare recipients rule non-instance mmo's. Always have and always will. Using the competitive excuse is just asinine. In the game of life, "competitive" raiders on an ancient mmo are losing.

Mobs are contested, people try...just not 24/7.

Do some fact checking first [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am willingly corrected, since I don't play on Green, I pick up what I can through the forums. I thought I read Nirgon Implying that Trakanon wasn't often contested.

What is making Seal Team win 100% of the Trakanons then?

It's not a 1:1 comparison, but Trak is 100% contested 24/7 on Blue with 2/3rds of the active player base. Yes, I understand the different reasons that it's easier to contest trak on Blue when most players have a geared level 60 toon they can park out for it. But Trakanon, at this point in Kunark, is pretty much Vulak. It's the only way to get in to VP. Why TF haven't guilds 2 3 and 4 teamed up to provide extra coverage during off hours?

Genuine questions btw i'm all ears

I'm with Twochain...make an alt and have fun!

If you don't have all your character slots filled up, you're doing it wrong!

ST doesn't win "uncontested" Traks because they have the best players (I'm fairly certain all of the raiding guilds are perfectly capable of killing Trak if they win the race). ST wins them because they have a guild full of people willing to sit and NOT PLAY THE GAME for hours on end during a 16-hour window every 3 days.

Case in point: Sky nobles. Those are contested every week and ST has lost quite a few of those races, especially recently. Why are they contested when Trak is not? It's not hard to figure out...

Noble is taboo because of prove ST is no better than anyone if things are fair ( if anything they have shown to be worse).

So then push for a footrace for Trak. Coth races suck anyway.

It blows my mind people complain about racing. You still have to go kill the mob the same way. Everything after the race operates completely like a classic EQ raid.

This is not the problem with Trak. Let me put it this way... the longer the window had been open without a pop, the more likely it was that ST had competition for the mob. The one time I was there to contest Trak it was something ridiculous like only 1 hour left in window. Same with the couple VS races I've been to.

Craziness. Sounds like there was more competition for Trak in kunark era of Blue.

Ya'll don't have two monitors so that you can watch netflix and see trak pop in your peripheral vision??

I'm kind of with you though. The only times i've showed up to races with the intention to see it through to the end are usually on shorter windows.

But it doesn't make much sense to me that Blue has 2 guilds with mages on poop mountain for 16 hours, but green doesn't.
