BDA to Phinigel

[Daldaen]

Can't wait for PoP and eventually GoD raids.

They better not release GoD and OoW together because of a few casual QQers about how GoD wasn't a good expansion for them. They can fuck right off.

WTB GoD at level 65 plz.

I have a hard time either of you would be successful Magic players since you are both pretty much idiots.

Better than average - qualified for a couple Pro Tours a decade or more ago and did well in some large state tournaments, but still just a hobby. Once me and the people I played and traveled with got out of college and started jobs and families it just wasn't a great way to spend a weekend.

Couple ptq top 4s and a state championship. I played with friends until all those friends moved away, without the comraderie magic isn't fun.

Same thing happened to me actually. I just lost interest within the last year or so. Moved to another city.

We ran pure DKP as a serverwide top5 guild, it worked fine, obviously.

The highest attendance people get more loot, and people naturally bid more on items of great value to their class.

We had /random raids for alts in which no DKP was given, we also did many beta tests which gave out DKP but no loot or flags obviously ..

The people that didn't show up for the /random raids or the beta raids were the worst guild members. Sure, helping Tim's 3rd alt get his epic is pretty boring, but maybe that epic will be used to res us after a raid wipe .. or we can call on that cleric to help beat a raid when attendance is low..

It was always very gratifying to ensure people that did not participate in these events didn't make it into the instances for server(wide) first kills.

"oh I'm sorry, but we need this specific setup", never needed salt on my crackers.

I've been in tons of hardcore top end guilds in EQ, WoW, EQ2, etc where for years people literally logged in for raids to collect DKP, no one was allowed to talk in voice chat except the leaders, and then people logged off afterwards. Otherwise people only logged in to farm materials required for consumables for said raids. It was a business, whose sole purpose was obtaining loot and getting server/world firsts - almost no socialization. Super high turnover rate of both applicants and membership.

Not all guilds were like that at the top, but a lot of the successful ones were.



I get loot because I have nearly 100% raid attendance, play a class with a lot of loot that no one else goes in for, and I'm smart about when and what I ask for. That's it. The "get all the loot" comment was a joke. Whatever loot system we used I'd be getting equivalent amount of loot - but it's Phinny so it really doesn't matter.

Like Chest said, we are more acquaintances than anything before EQ, and don't really interact outside of it since we both pretty much quit playing MTG seriously and live on opposite sides of a very large state.

[skarlorn]

so we are supposed to take the word of the Elf Leader of a Corrupt Council and his Very Own RL Contact that the Elf Hegemony isn't playing favorites to funnel loot to Manowarr?

as opposed to all the hundreds of people who have quit BDA and say the truth?

Tofu and I are extremely close friends? That's news to me. There's people in guild I game with outside of EQ (Pullyn) or people I go to Vegas with (Anichek) or people I go to bars with (Blaza) or people I go to posh restaurants with (Flickken) but I knew Tofu through MTG tournies and we weren't close. We're pals now though from so many years of EQ and he's definitely BDA ride or die, and he's a great asset to the guild. He deserves every piece of loot he gets.

Troll you seem to be confusing getting loot with people being friendly. You're so happy to get pixels for low bids in OGC, or someone helped your alt get an epic. Friendliness for you is directly tied to how many pixels your characters are receiving. Maybe you should step back and figure out how being friendly actually works.

Enjoying advancing your character makes you a bad person

Helping your friends advance their characters makes u not real friends

Got it
