My experience with a raid guild on P99

The issues with cliquey-ness are pretty standard on here. When I raided in a now defunct self-proclaimed "casual raiding guild," it was really bad. Unless you sat in TS for hours each night, cracked the best jokes, and cozied up to the officers, no one gave a shit about you or wanted to help you. And the pixel craze was pretty bad too. The humble bragging was so bad. I remember there was one member who once made a comment about how his bags were so full of useful clickies that he wouldn't loot anything worth less than 30k. While the rest of us had a hooded black cloak as our most valuable item. And in hindsight, all our rarely-obtained raid loot was loot counciled to one of the excessively large officer crew. At the time I was on board and drinking the koolaid but, looking back, fudge that.

I think the pixel/ plat craze is just too strong on this server because it's so sparse.

That's my impression of it too. Pretty much how I feel about it, and it's not in my personality to try to "cozy" up to people to liken the chance I might get stuffs. I don't do it IRL, and I won't do it to get pixels either.

I know a guy that plays a shaman on this server, he's been here for 3-4 years at least. He never joined a guild, and basically spent tons of time farming to get plats to buy his last piece of his epic from a MQ, he bought torpor, he basically spent YEARS grinding to get what a guild probably could have gotten him faster. He did it though, because he dislikes the politics in guilds so much that he refused to join one.

I totally get why he did it this way, and respect the fact he found a way to get what he wants without having to sacrifice his own personal code of values. I have a little bit of me that is like him, but I also like to group up and have fun times in dungeons etc. I like solo stuff, but grouping is great too. I don't think I could go full-maverick like this guy has done though.

Edit: Thought this was in RnF - will wait until it is to give my opinion on Awakend

Hint - it rhymes with 'buck'

Hey, I sure appreciate the feedback from everyone, even those who may find my post obnoxious or self-entitling. I always enjoy hearing different perspectives particularly those that are different than mine. I feel better after venting my thoughts out after seeing what others think, or have experienced themselves. Thanks for the comments.

I apologize if my post seemed harsh. After reading your later comments I can tell you're not the kind of player I was describing as self-entitled.

I've been playing on the server off and on for roughly 4-5 years. I have joined 5-6 raiding guilds as an app and can relate with OP. I've experienced that feeling in every guild I've joined. I try to be active and friendly/helpful but I always felt outside of the "click" or "inner circle" crowd. I was really looking forward to raiding on p99 but still havent really ever done it because I couldn't ever get myself comfortably established with any high end guild.

I felt exactly this way in Azure Guard. I submitted 3 max bids for items (all of which could of been sold for 100k+) within a 48 hour time span and all of them went to a small coterie of officers. When I complained about it in p99 forums they banned me from the guild and took away months of DKP that I worked for and never got to spend.

If you are who I think you are, then I believe you were banned for telling someone in ooc to "eat a dick" when they asked you to stop bard swarming. If this is the right person then you also told the officers that If you couldn't speak your mind like that then you should just deguild now. After fighting for you for a few months we eventually decided, after another person sent us a tell about being insulted, that you really arnt AG material. I've only ever forum banned 2 people which is why I think you are who you are.

Sorry you didn't get any pixels.

You should write a song about it.

Lonmoer = Treblemaker in game.

Here he is contributing to Rustle's recruitment thread:

And here's some feedback in his bard powerleveling service thread, in which he blatantly rips off Zanderr's pricing scheme to his own benefit:

This guy has an absolutely toxic personality. Stay clear of him. He got kicked out of his last guild for being foulmouthed (I am sure not only to me), and is now badmouthing that guild & insulting on the most childish level.

Initial insult:
Missing from my screenshot is my initial ooc:

Then:

Censored content in screenshot is to keep the guild name out of this & an unrelated tell

And today:

Btw. OP is delusional, apparently he can't tell people apart who he had been "friendly" to.

whoa great find paul, in that case lonmoer gets no sympathy from me after readin this so im just gonna drop the /thread

sounds like folks dont like awarding loot to doinks like you and i agree.

[paulgiamatti]

Lonmoer isn't the OP of this thread, just thought people should know who he is in game to steer clear.

Not being allowed into AG is a great thing if you want to raid
