Anyone else cringe @ rogean's post about awakened?

[ridiculousmoose]

What really gets me is that both of these guilds are run by psychopaths... wow.

False about Hate and Fear. You could do Royals and Sky. That has never changed. It has always been that way.

You can do Royals, That is about it.

You cannot step one foot in Hate or Fear, even as a duo, trio or group.

Sky is a bit more muddy, sometimes yes, sometimes no, but never nobles.

Awakened aren't just jerks in raid zones though. There have been times I've in Crushbone, Unrest, and Blackburrow where massively twinked awakened solos or duos will roll through the zones, and completely disrupt them. Most recently it was an Awakened dwarf tank of some kind and enchanter in Crushbone. The enchanter charmed a lego, then gave it about 300pp in toys, and proceeded to clear the zone. They even rolled over recognized camps and killed every decent target. finally they bit off more than they could chew and trained THROUGH WALL CAMP. without calling train or anything. We took care of all of their train, and someone looted the enchanter's pet toys. Then the enchanter comes back and begs for the toys back. LOL.

My most recent encounter with them was fine. They came into Chardok to pull King/Queen to the zone out tunnel and were respectful of an ongoing XP group...even rezzed my trained corpses from the previous AOE's groups attempts to be hospitable (thanks Cleratani).

Do they make their members give back looted pixels if they leave?

A friend of mine is still making mortgage payments on his no-drop gear he earned with a guild who left this server. Said its the cost of leaving them and hes hopeful one day he can pay it off.

I find it absolutely awesome. Good, start handing out extreme over the top punishments until guilds are so terrified of breaking rules that they're forced to play nice.

You leapfrog, or do some shady shit FTE? You stall? You train an entire raid in TOV while "pulling" a dragon? Month suspension. Just start making ridiculous steel-gauntlet punishments. Watch how quickly the raid scene cleans up when they think there's a chance of tremendous repercussion for playing shady.

No more rule lawyer. You try to rule lawyer? Week suspension. You try to bend the facts to fit your case? Week suspension. You petition something that wasn't against the rules? Week suspension.

Make it fucking straight out Nazi era in here. Watch how quickly the weebs and plebs fall in line to keep the pixels flowing.

Rogean Pls.

I like the George Orwell approach we have here. Everyone has fraps loaded and threatens to send the footage on a whim.

The fact that we have a community who are already lawyering up on each engage before it happens says a lot.

never had problems with em, the two encounters I've had with awakened twinks were both people willing to group with bronze wearing tanks and guild robe wearing casters.

Thats because not everyone in the same guild has the same mindset. There is nutjob(s) in every bunch. But this is RnF so standard protocol is to take the worst examples of guilds to describe how the whole guild thinks/operates. Its a cycle that comes and goes everytime a new guild becomes the top guild on P99. Couldnt tell you the last time the top guild on the server was actually liked by anyone else.

i cant even remember a guild that didnt have people constantly talking shit on the forums. unless you are <dial a port> or a casual guild that never set foot in a raid zone, people trash talk your guild. i cant think of a single raid guild that doesnt get harrassed even if 90% of the players are really nice people. i love this game on the group level, but the raid scene has completely destroyed any guild cohesion and im sick of it. went through too many guilds falling apart over raid drama im just not going to involve myself in that childish scene. i dont see many other people that are ~max level without a guild.
