sry Aftermath failed the application to be my guild, but on the whole the members were pretty okay people. An especial shout out to Wulli and the tank crew for being fun-loving, cool and normal

Don't let the salt upset ur tummy

Not really defending aftermath but you sound pretty indecisive and not sure what to do with your life. What's the point of joining aftermath if you know the outcome? Or are you the problem then? It's common knowledge by now that there is 100's of servers and the people crying not classic but this is as classic as it gets should know what time it is on this server.

How do you expect to get a legitimate informed opinion a group of people without.. attempting to see what they are like? App periods work both ways, it's not just the applicant being judged. In my time with Awakened, I saw control freak officers, shitty policies, and ugly attitudes from the members. They also failed their app to be my guild.

As far as why don't you go somewhere else to play. I've seen that pop up a few times recently, and that strikes me as a bad solution for someone who's invested years on this server and most likely enjoys playing here. A good analogy would be telling an American citizen, "If you don't like America GET OUT." Well.. well ok? But, but I live here. It's just as ignorant sounding and I don't think that idea should be proposed much more in the future for fear of sounding like a stereotypical dumb American.

The presence of competitive raid guilds does not dampen my enjoyment of the server, yet it turns out I didnt like being in one.

So I left during the app period

If you've been on the server for years, you shouldn't have to join the guild to know what it's like and then go on to bash against a certain play style you basically knew you were signing up for.

A better analogy would be saying you hate politics and constantly bashing them, just to join a campaign a couple weeks later and then..... before ever getting a chance to know what it's really like, you start bashing them. You can't make an informed opinion about anything when you've literally put in maybe an hour worth of time with the group. It's similar to someone joining a company at a high position and wanting to mix up different departments without ever knowing the SoP and what works within the company. Those people need to spend at least a month analyzing each department before they can have a good opinion. Only caveat would be if you came from a very similar company with the exact same order of operations.

I hardly play anymore and I don't really agree with any play style in EQ anymore but I could give a shit less how other people want to play and invest their time. People spend more time here bitching about other peoples play style then actually just enjoying the game and their own.

On the American comment, it's not really the same. You can create a server for yourself, you can't create an America. Economics are based on the same premise, the people who invest more time and work smarter - typically are rewarded. You have the same argument in America about the rich and people who are poor, still complain the exact same way.

Also want to draw attention to this incredible comment.

I'm recovering from surgery, getting back to my full time job, and starting prep for the LSAT.

Amazing tho that this poster equates a brief trial of a p99 raid guild to life goals [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I appreciate Aftermath and its ability to keep these guys out of Awakened.

Sitting against a wall until your pull team orcastrates some gypsy pull is not raiding. AA don't have what it takes to "really raid."

They love playing the game so much that they do everything they can to skip as much of it as humanly possible. It's funny, really.

-----------------------------------------------------------

A curious number of players on P99 follow the same general progression curve:

Join P99, have a great time
Start to get to high level, notice all the high-end targets are perma-camped
Get discouraged, hate on the rules and high-end guilds
Develop the Pixel Sickness, bite the bullet and join one of said high-end guilds
Get a few nice drops and become a guild fanatic
Mock low-end players; he's now become what he used to hate
Deck out a character or three, burn out, and quit P99
Look back and occasionally comment at how much P99 sucks and how its a waste of time

Usually takes 2 or 3 years or so to go from the first stage to the last. While not absolute, that general list works for a fair number of players.
