Wow I don't even know where to start really, and I probably shouldn't even respond to this. Any statements I make are likely to be received as QQ from the Nihilum brass because that's how they feel when anyone who tries to rationalize not pvping them in a given situation. However, I feel the urge to dissect some statements.

In the time since azreal has been created you can count the number of mobs theyve killed on one hand. Their only tactic is to keep a wizard in group to port out when nihilum comes due to lack of players and fear of engaging in fair pvp. Its blatantly obvious why they avoid it a loss is guaranteed. You can say its because of gear but most nihilum members arent that geared.

It has less to do with gear than it does class make-up and level advantage. If they zone in on us in a raid they will be fully raid buffed, and with full mana (not knocking it, it's sound strategy).

Whereas we will be more than likely be at a slight buff disadvantage (depending on time spent in zone), and our usually caster heavy lineup will not likely have mana for a full on guild vs guild fight.

If no events are planned they are forced to wait till they have enough people to try something then spur of the moment raid. This tactic Does not work , at all , like not even a little bit.

There's a big reason why no raids have been getting *planned*, and the tactic is working just fine for us. Three unscheduled loot mobs were dropped in the last week with no opposition because we had the opportunity to do it. It allows our guild to focus on what we need most while getting loot when we can.

Even nihilum members have said they hope and wish for pvp attacks while they fight dragons out in the open and no one ever comes. Its fucking sad.

Yes, maybe some Nihilum members hope to be attacked. The leadership however wants no competition on this server. Their goal ever since Mellow joined Azrael was to grief us into submission, Nihilum has never at any point on this box (to my knowledge) wanted a real competitor.

However, give it time. If Azrael is as resilient as I hope they are then we will get the levels and minimum gear we need to start making a real push at Nihilum.

I left azreal a month ago due to them not being able to accomplish shit. I was not removed although lite seems to enjoy lying and saying he kicked me , this is quite false. When the third raid in sky happened and we didnt have enough to even try the spiroc lord i jumped off and left the guild.

Good riddance

Since returning to the 50+ Scene i have been met with alot of injustice from lite and a very strong lack of respect. He has insulted me many times , treated me like shit and gone as far as starting big drama festivals and having talks about how i was so bad in the guild and everyone hated me , bla bla bla

Hmmmm I seem to recall a night not so long ago in seb....we were camping beetles/fungi (lite tanking) and mid fight against the fungi ph, you decide to go afk to let your cat in.

Five minutes later you come back after lite nearly died to a respawn and the fungi ph. So being as you nearly killed us, we had badger log in and heal outside the group. I recall you asking why Badger was there and freaking out and gating when we told you it was because you weren't being reliable.

Even when a raid does happen theres nonstop cluster fucks. Every fear raid has at least 2 wipes , sometimes as many as 5 , hate wipes are even more common and most of the sky raids result in the main tank dying constantly due to clerics not even paying a slight bit of attention.

Strange you've been on the last two fear raids, one of which didnt have a single wipe. The other essentially only had one, which was prolonged by a certain person feigning aggro and not /q'ing out.

its obvious the server has plenty of people for a true rival guild , with proper leadership easily could organize raids to attack nihilum when they pull dragons or engage world bosses.

The server does have potential for a true rival guild, Azrael has that potential. However Nihilum has a giant head start and we're making strides to catch up.

I'm all for going after Nihilum on an open world raid target, however what will attacking them on something like gorenaire, severilious, or talendor accomplish? If we win the guild vs guild fight, do we have the class make-up, levels, and gear to actually down the mob before Nihilum shows up again with their vp geared 2nd force.

In my time in the guild we made one attempt at a Kunark dragon (Faydedar was attempted before I joined and was a much stronger attempt I hear), which we did not have the levels or class make-up to even make a dent on.

Right now it's not a question of can we stop them from doing the mob, it's a question of is it worth our time to stop what we're doing just to stop them from getting a mob for a few hours.




All that being said, I feel you are probably one of the most annoying people I've met on this server. If I didn't have such a history with Northwest I'd probably say you are the most annoying person.

You do nothing but bitch and whine and spew a bunch of toxic bullshit that does nobody on this server any good. If you really think a post like this will inspire people to band together and unite under some new banner to be a "legitimate" threat to Nihilum then you are more delusional then I ever imagined.

bump i seen the nilly app coming bro no need to post on the forums to get some type of pat on the back from nihilum the sad this is we never invited u back to the guild becouse no1 likes you and only let u hang around becouse your a cleric .. SORRY truths out

[Junkman]

TITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[karsten]

things in this thread that are true:

1. huggies is telling the truth when he says he has been the only attentive cleric on a raid, and that should reflect on everyone in azrael that likes to afk during raids

2. heartbrand doesn't know where to stand while fighting nagafen, which is hilarious and got the entire raid killed because they couldn't heal him

3. i killed nagafen with alts, pretty awesome

4. lite and andis have enough patience to be in charge, whereas most people in our guild don't, and i have no real problem with that

Just wanted to say that KabanazyTZ is being a straight up gentleman ITT.

[compulsion]

^ good post.

Huggies I think you can't get along with like 4 people, and instead of just letting go and chilling with the folks you do like, you have developed a paranoid complex about it which just serves to alienate anyone who was neutral. Quite a few people have spoken for you at different times in different discussions.

So many people have this completely one dimensional view of whatever they think Azrael should be, when it is actually a completely mixed bag. We have people who want to raid more, and we have people who only raid because of this resist code. We have people who want to PvP and don't care much about the odds, and we have people who cry about PvP because a blue is just too much to lose. And at the end of the day, there is very little incentive to compromise.

You may not like every part of the Nihilum plan, but you can show up, /assist, hit 1 a few times, and loot something. In Azrael, well, the raiders don't loot as much, and the PvPers still get to deal with questionable resist code and ridiculous bugs that go ignored for months or years.

So Azrael players stick around for fun, which comes and goes, while Nihilum players so desperately need in game accomplishments to feel validated that they subvert their own individual persona in order to get more str and int on their bp. FoH deserves more credit for camping guk than a bunch of people who were emotionally broken by a game... and in their own words:
