I never said they weren't a joke compared to here, but if you aren't competing open world, then your kills don't matter. They are instanced. How are you going to say you're better than another guild by killing targets in your own instance lol. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.

Quite. You just summed up instanced raiding.

Interesting. How you do choose if you want the instanced version or open world?

Open world is just the regular zone just like here on p99. There's an npc called the Agent of Change whom you can access the instanced version with a group or more. It's usually located in or close to the zone you're trying to access. Then there are picks you can spawn. It's another instance of the open world. So lets say there are 40+ people in lower guk, a lower guk 1 will pop to accommodate the number of people in an open world zone. Raid bosses don't usually spawn in a pick.

EQ is a PVE game you nuts. If you can clear the content faster, with fewer numbers, and earlier in an expansion you are better at the game. Open world in contrast is simply about who neckbeards harder in terms of poopsocking, training, and getting up at 3AM.

And instances have a 6.5 day lockout essentially. Right now every xp zone has numerous picks because everyone is cramming in xp last second before PoP. There was like 4 picks of velks yesterday. I'm sure there were a shit ton of griegs.

This.

Some people don't really care about being better and will happily just faceroll with 72 and just enjoy hanging out in voice chat bullshitting about Taco Bell and shit.

Y'all were talking about Taco Bell too? Everyone is fascinated with that fried chicken taco thing. It sounds terrible.

You misunderstand my posts if you think I care about being the best. I'm not in any of those top guilds. I play on Phinny because it allows me to enjoy high end content with a work life balance. But if you're going to come on here and say your guild is number one, you better be talking about dominating the open world content.

[getsome]

dominating open world content on phinny does not make u the best or number 1.

if u wanted to be number 1 with that type of mentality you could easily go to a non instance server and be the cock block guild to hype about number 1.

99% of the people on phinny dont give a shit about open world or compete for it.

its not why they play there.

#1 at grey area exploits and/or asshattery to beat content before other guilds will be story of the server for eternity

and only 2 guilds really care about being first out of ~18 raiding guilds

everyone else, you know, has fulfilling lives full of sex with their significant others
