it boils down to they weren't following the play nice policy by locking down a contested camp and not allowing non guildies on the list for a chance at the camp (imagine AC in OOT if one guild locked it down and didnt honor any list and just passed the camp to their guildies) and rogean changed the situation there

What I meant by that was the open world, non instanced npc spawning system that makes EQ a like, real world vs wow which is like a carnival.

I like that a guild can monopolize things I just feel like its the point of an open world game. I'm in the minority, of our minority [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

fiiiine this always is the trump card with my arguments for uber geekdom in eq. I always conceed when someone throws this word in my face, becuase I agree my argument is not about playing nice.

But I just *aghem* still would like to remind the hard core raiders that the word competition is a stretch when there is a pnp, and maybe in the end Im just secretly trying to roast those ui altering bastards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am not disagreeing/agreeing with your opinion, just stating why rogean was able to to make a ruling on it and that hes not just changing things because he felt like it, it was technically a pnp violation. That and I'm sure enough people were bitching about it.

This did happen on blue with TMO trying to monopolize locket of escape for velious ToV binding, and to prevent other guilds from being able to bind their melee at ToV when the time came, and if their guild wasn't complete ass ran by clowns they probably would have been successful. I expect similar situation on green with locket.

The top guild of a server will always work harder and put more effort into their guild than the guilds below it.

And if there would be no Seal Team then there would be other people from diffrent guilds crying about The Federation that they playing to hard.

Whoever thought the endgame would be handing off uncontested rotations and standing in like clicking “I’m still here!” every 10 minutes for 36 hours?

It’s kinda sad how much help you guys need.

I kind of feel there is a difference between putting in effort and actively blocking content to prevent competition. Just my opinion though. I'm sure some would disagree.

I know what you mean, but Seal Team wasnt at the Ishva camp for the past 10 months. They made the decision few weeks ago that the camp is important for them if they want to stay as #1 on the server. And they made the decision before The Federation. Ergo = Seal Team put more effort into their guild than the Federation did to theirs.

What would you have done if you weren't in <Seal Team> and you wanted to raid PoSky? Not a rhetorical question.

I'm still waiting to hear what the competitive, player-based, non-GM-involved solution would have been. How would you get Spell: Summon Corpse? Or without it, how would you get enough keys to get enough people to Island Whatever to actually kill the mobs? Or without raiding Plane of Sky, how would you be competitive in Kunark?

If none of you can offer a solution, then I guess you're all just trolling.

That's assuming the federation was ever planning to do something like monopolize that spawn. Every top guild always thinks they are the first to pioneer an idea just because they are the first guild to actually do it. Just because other guilds weren't willing to be scumbags doesn't mean they didn't think of it.

It's like on blue server really early in the timeline when there was these 2 necros locking down the frenzy camp in lguk. One would hold the camp all day, and when he was done his buddy would log in and take over the camp all night until the first guy woke up and logged back in. They would just trade off the camp every day and this went on for weeks as they kept corpsing their FBSS drops never leaving the camp (one of the main reasons why corpsing items at a camp so you didnt have to give it up eventually become prohibited). They refused to play nice and give other people a chance at the camp. Unfortunately there was no rules in place at the time to really prevent this from happening

If you think I hadnt thought of doing that with my buddy you are wrong. I just wasnt willing to be a completely asshole to everybody else on the server wanting a crack at the camp, and I eventually started to pass that camp to full groups that came down there if I had been sittin there for a while.
