But pointing out that part of the event was accessible to everyone while part of the event was effectively only accessible to one (or maybe two) guilds? That perfectly demonstrates that not everyone was treated equally.

I guess this is classic? Lord knows I played on live for dozens of days /played back in the pre-luclin/pop eras, never in a raiding guild, and I never once experienced a GM event.
As far as I know, Blackburrow and Field of Bone are not locked down by any guilds on this server. Both of those zones had people in them when the event began and it was a matter of finding the God not standing there and doing nothing, then complaining about it on the forums.

In Hate yes, people mobilized quickly and 3 of the top tier raiding guilds competed for the kill, and were rewarded. This did not keep people from trying to find the Hide and seek style events and no 1 guild received all the items given away.

1+1=2

You're not understanding that, apparently.

1 event was won by a level 31 elf, it was in Black Burrow.

1 event was won by a peck from Divinity in Field of Bone.

1 event was won by BDA in PoH.


2 of the 3 events were won by people either under level 40 or not in one of the top 2 raiding guilds.

ONE event was for 46+ and won by one of the top guilds on the server.

i think that's more than fair.

Not trying to come off as an A-hole, but considering how successful some of the other GM events in the past, that required raids, why did you guys for-go randoming to award loot with all participants. Especially with a raid mob that wasn't going with normal raiding rules and who apparently lottery FTE'd himself on anyone in the zone.

What's done is done, I'm not hung up on that, but curious if the "more events in the future" will be handled similarly or if the GMs see that some improvements can be made.

I've been to a few of Uthgaard's raid events and I don't think any of them ended with as much confusion as this last event.

the PoH thing could have gone smoother. in hindsight i should have split everyone into 4 or 5 groups (by guild), and awarded 1 person from each group. in future, thats what we plan to do, as i told another player earlier.

the other two events went fine imo.


Thank you to all who attended, i hope everyone had fun!

The only suggestion for the H&S would be make the gods untrackable (not sure if you can do that, but it's a suggestion).

Confused as to if the bolded word is showing a personal negative bias towards the individual, guild as a whole, or possibly a description of a halfling i am just not accustomed to seeing here since every other explanation was in a normal standard aside from this one.

Also, the mobs were trackable as it was 2 druids who found them and Adjudicator said that he found CT on track.

Good to see events happening again and glad to hear that in the future the rewards will go back to the style of old GM events where everyone has a chance at rewards rather than the two extremes of NOBODY getting anything or a particular raid guild winning. (Final tally on this one though for those interested BDA 4 guises and Divinity 1)

It was a cheap shot at shorter members of the server staff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Sirken suffers from massive Hobbit jealousy. We're getting him help though, don't worry.

Also, by my count it was 3 for BDA (from Inny), 1 for Divinity, and 1 for a guildless player (perhaps that player is guilded now, haven't checked).

He is a BDA alt I believe, Dstorm that is.
