I'm personally planning on quitting my job so that I can get that extra that +50 mana over a common crafted item

Quitting your job for Flowing Thought would be way more logical .

"Shrug" P99 raiding is dead for anyone but A/A really, its been known for a while, which is why we have stopped even trying (a part from the odd attempt once in a while). The amount of work that has to go into constantly running fraps and rules lawyering to stop the blatant cheating / line crossing, for some pixels in an 18 year old elf sim is just stupid. A/A refuses to rotate any content (apart from between themselves apparently, oh that wonderful competition), and so all the other raid guilds are slowly leaving the server.

Its clearly what staff wanted though, a smaller population with less raid guilds "shrug" - they are getting it.

As for Europa (and CSG) we've conceded that A/A are never going to change, and staff isn't really going to do anything about it, so we'll have some fun raiding Sky and Hate and whatnot, and grab an opportunity when we see it, while waiting for Pantheon. I am sure a substantial number of people will leave for Agnarr where raiding can actually be a thing down the line, but personally I am going to hang around and play casually like I intended to do when I came to P99.

So congratulations A/A on dominating and splitting 98% of the content between you in the name of competition - I know it makes you feel really warm and fuzzy, and Rogean and rest of staff got what they want [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's not like A/A is a closed club like the top guilds were on live. Getting raid loot on this server is extremely easy.

1. Join one of the raiding guilds (theres twice as many as there were most standard servers back on live)
2. Join raids whenever you feel like it, there are raids 24/7. You don't have to do anything at all, everything is setup all you have to do is log in and have fun killing a dragon once in a while. The rest of the time you can dick around in Crushbone if so desire. The kills take between 20 min and 1 hour.
3. Buy raid loot and epics EXTREMELY cheap for your DKP because everyone in A/A already has it on their mains and five alts. All loot besides the very very end gear is basically thrown at new members including epics.
4. Profit

In some sense you could actually say that casual guilds are the real hardcore players on the server because they chose to spend up words of 100 times the amount of time it would have taken to obtain the same piece of loot in A/A. In A/A that same piece of loot might cost you a few raids worth of DKP = 3-4 hours of your time, but in the casual guilds you have raided for months and months with raids taking much much longer then when A/A raids just to compete VS all your guild mates for that piece of loot you could have gotten for a 3 hour investment in A/A. So who are the real hardcore players?

In A/A people want to spend their time efficiently so they have time for jobs families and such.

PS: Obviously chose Aftermath since we have the #1 french on the server + milk and cookies and you get to make fun of Detoxx all day long (we call him Bubbles or Dongtoxx).

In a/a its much more than 3-4 hours of dkp to get items more like 3-4 months.. For a new person coming in with 0 and can't track/screen share often good luck competing with the gobs of dkp inflation there is. Stop tricking people.

Grats on running fires and ven away. Take away from this is pooping golems isn't the way in the raid scene, it's the way out.
