I dunno, sounds like you had too few good people wanting to track/FTE and too many warm bodies expecting pixels hand fed to them.

That's probably the consequence of trying to get as many people in the guild as possible. Was recruitment ever closed?

Dude there was zero difference between BDA's recruitment and anyone else's. BDA never actively recruited anyone, and there was always a healthy list of people on the app board. People who couldn't seem to get along with other people got a no vote just like anywhere else.

As for the people not wanting to FTE... OF COURSE! That's exactly it! And you know why? Look at this board, look at the threads here, look at what people are DOING. This server's raid rules and what it takes to win them on mobs that matter are CRAZY! Not ironically crazy, not exaggerated hyperbole, this is bonkers. There has to be something wrong with you, something seriously, seriously wrong with you to put up with this shit. And the craziest thing of all? There's an alternative RIGHT THERE. It's even free!

Unlike what Hevie described and what I presume goes for the rest of Awakened and maybe AM, BDA is not about "beating the competition". It wants to beat the mobs and get the loot, that is what is fun to it. There's a server sitting right there for it to do just that. No insanity, no batshit rules, no one going "CONCEDE" the instant a mob spawns. So they left, just like a number of other people who stepped back.

It's not like you yourself haven't said basically the exact same thing in your Red recruitment posts, hmm?

I don't like progression servers myself and have serious issues with Deybreak Games completely unrelated to raiding. But I sure don't blame them for going and I am glad they are having a ton of fun over there. If they ever came to Takp I would join again in an instant, like many others.

"No warm body left behind"

If you think the guilds that fell apart after the termination of the rotation would have stuck around and done anything meaningful with the current Velious ruleset you've got one twisted sense of judgment Swish.

Also, dozens of Trakanons? Lol. After 5 years (five) of Kunark BDA had a little over 100 keyed people (many of which had stopped playing during those 5 years). So, yeah BDA technically had the keyed people, it hardly had the people there to play them.

[Daldaen]

Taken I think had somewhere in the realm of 30-40 people at the end of the rotation keyed. Among them were two clerics. Wasn't really a VP force until a little into Kunark when dragons started to become feasible.

Now... if we had classic resist checks on VP dragons then we've got an entirely different story. Since you could actually stack those resists and have some feasible change of resisting their AEs and not need 1 Cleric per group or lots of wort pots.

Please keep this BDA talk in the BDA thread where it belongs

[Freakish]

I don't even know what a BDA is.

After the rotation we maybe had 40-50, at the very end maybe 100-150 range. Tmo had bragged about killing their 200th Trak way back when. Hard to compete with that...

BDA vs Taken in VP was a hell of a lot of fun, competitive EQ

0 petitions filed, many salty tells, and of course dead dragons on both sides
