It's just frustrating more than anything else. We executed our strategy properly but all it takes is Rampage sending their castoff B team (including BDA and TMO reject Calrizien) to train the crap out of everyone in KC for a solid 8-10 minutes while they dealt with PD.

Their FTEr (Kegluas) wasn't even in zone until 10 mins after the repop. Obvious stall tactic is obvious.

Calrizien is a shithead guildhopping no talent scumbag.

He seems to have found a home with Hoku and the shit heads from Ateam.

I should have been clearer. Question is what other guild will be part of the next suspension round? I hope TMO does not disappoint, you never do!

BDA exemplifying natural selection - the weak refusing to adapt and therefore, consequently dying over and over and over.

training/stalling still against the rules IIRC. don't care whether or not it's the only strat TMO has.

I'm just jaded and expect nothing to happen to Rampage. The VS encounter hasn't changed since the zone line rules were added. We've been absolutely crushed by trains on 2 of the last 3 attempts.

The same thing always happens. Trains come from every which way, guilds get wiped the fuck out, someone manages to rebuild faster and that guilds wins. The last time we got VS it was R and there was a bit of competition but my guild had strict orders to not even enter the pit with aggro, they were only allowed to move down with harmony/lulls, no trains. Everything went perfectly fine.

We camped out for VS yesterday at the zone line anticipating a repop from that announcement. We had 30 immediately after the earthquake which should have been plenty of time to get things done. We had 4 clerics, 2 warriors, and some dps ready to go in the pit clean and buffing and got fucking annihilated.

There was a Rampage bard doing a train out, calrizien dropping about a million mobs on our clerics, and that was that. I sent a tell to snackies and his response was "well those mobs were dropped on him" and that's why nothing will ever change. It's apparently ok to use that strat of train everything. In fear there's wide open spaces to get away, you can easily fraps in fear, but VS (and Hate) are the two absolute bullshit encounters because training is ok. There's 10 different ways into the pit, can't fraps every angle from 3 different levels to see the perps, you just get fucked.

I'm sure the rhetoric is just "counter train you idiots" but that shouldn't be what's required, there should just be no fuxking trains. It's not hard to get into the pit without aggro if you're responsible. It's easier though to recklessly rush down, push mobs onto your competiton to buy time, then shrug your shoulders and demand perfect fraps from every angle plus two months of waiting to get anything accomplished.

The new rules made many encounters less painful, but Inny/Hate and VS are still the worst of the fucking worst.

Absolutely not something that BDA is just making up.


I have no skin in the game other than the fact that I lead a guild in this game and have no desire to ever change my environment of play to deliberately breaking the rules.

Under no circumstances should anyone be at an internal guild discussion table and the words "how can we do this illegal thing in such a way that it is impossible to get caught?"

I'm 100% for competitively saying "How can we get as close to the line without causing anything illegal".

These kind of tactics don't make TMO the most skilled players on the server. Stealing aggro on your enemies train, pulling things across the zone and ping ponging Fding monks to keep trains completely in control and all the other shenanigans you guys do has always impressed me!

I always thought that is what has made you all some of the most skilled players out there... but training in VS and openly stating that it is the right thing to do is wrong, wrong, wrong.


Go order a Meat Basket from Greengrocer, sign a card and have it sent to Chest.

Except the claim is against Rampage. Thanks.
