Even Brad McQuaid himself in his other game, and Im fairly certain Pantheon - abandoned this tactic.

Ive been on both ends. It stinks.
Except you're wrong. That time investment is also a choice. Nothing those people do prohibits you from attempting to get an FTE as well. They aren't blocking hundreds of people of those hundreds are not even attempting to race for an FTE.

What about the meta of A/A runners who still alt+tab?

You know you've drank too much kool-ade when you think staring at a door opening and closing (or watching the skype stream for the spawn) for hours on end is actually reasonable gameplay. Maner, get help. You're sick.

Who are the people that still do it? Provide your proof and get them suspended.

Playing within the guidelines and rules created by this server staff is "sick" to you? Good think no one will care when you leave. No one is even watching a door as the racing line has moved to the stairs. Keep proving you have no idea what you're talking about even though for some reason you think your opinion matters. Maybe one day you will find a reason to exist in your life, but posting on forums regarding things you don't even participate in, isn't it.

Where did I argue it was reasonable or fun? I said it is an even playing field that people, who have never attempted it, are bitching about. I personally enjoyed the instant pulls far more than the 1 hour FTE bullshit, that these same casual guilds who are bitching, pushed for. You should be bitching at your own guild leaders and officers if you dislike the current raid scene so much as they are the ones who pushed to create it.

These rules and guidelines? YES! Of course they are! Holy shit man. Step back. You're too immersed.

No one outside of the sick fruitcakes in your raid guilds would think this is even remotely reasonable. And you're the sickest fruitcake of them all! Know why? This:

You don't like it, yet you are doing it and advocating that others do it. You are literally everything that is wrong with this server.

Except i don't track or FTE because i have a life and responsibilities outside of a video game. However my work situation does allow me to respond to some batphones that other people wouldn't. Again, i love how you assume that i am actively participating in racing for FTEs, when in reality i am just smart enough to belong to a guild who has people who can dedicate the time to race. I am proud to be a warm body that logs on for 3am batphones when one of my hardcore guildmates gets an FTE, thanks.

I am advocating that it is a even playing field, why is that so hard for you to comprehend? No one is able to monopolize spawns unless you let them due to not even trying. I didn't make the rules i just follow them, and that makes me "what is wrong with the server"? why do you even play here then? if you don't play here why do you care?

How hard is it for you to understand that you don't even have to try if you just learn to come to the table and work out a system where people share? This isn't that complicated.
