Just want to say, I haven't decided on if I want to come or not, but the reason isn't because of loot its just because of the time sink. I will say however that the PuG WTOV and HOT leaders think this is a great idea and hope it gets lots of players to attend.

To all the people who don't think it is fair that they don't want to share Tunare pixels, think of the effort it takes to wrangle and manage 60+ other people that don't know the zone or how to raid PoG. It is NOT easy. Then add on managing loot and making sure it goes to the right people and doesnt get ninja'd.

GL out there on Sat I hope yall get the numbers you need for a fast and fun clear.

Yeah, I support this sort of thing. It sends a message that the game doesn't need to be exclusive and I respect that. Thanks for putting in the time Kelz, and good luck.

So glad I won't be attended this collosal time waste.

PoG loot is not even good

I like how all the people hating on this event are acting like their motives are altruistic and pure. They are pretending that they are posting to protect and warn the noobs of the server when really all they are trying to do is guilt AW into letting them roll on Tunare's loot.

The truth is the people that play on this server are (mostly) intelligent adults who can decide for themselves if it's worth their time to show up to this or not. If most people feel like it is a raw deal and nobody shows then AW ends up clearing the zone and Tunare like they would have anyways. If some noobs or alts decide they would like a chance at some PoG gear or just want to see the zone they've got the opportunity to tag along and grab some stuff that probably would just rot, and it ends up being a win / win for both parties.

If you don't like the way they are running it and want a chance to roll on Tunare loot, then don't show up to this raid and pick a point in the future to organize your own fully open PoG raid, the server would be incredibly grateful to anyone who did that I am sure.

On a separate note, is it ok / possible to join up with the raid later on in the day if I am unable make the start time?

This is my favorite part about all of this. Casuals throwing a fit because they aren't getting to roll on Tunare loot and are really beating this transparency/altruistic thing to death out of desperation. This whole thing is fueled by pixel lust from both sides.

Its an 8 year old era locked server bro, if you aint casual then you have a mental illness and/or need to unplug

I'm not disagreeing with that, but that's not what this is about. I'm well aware of the caliber neckbeard it takes to win everquest but lose at life. They still aren't going to let you have their loots.

Yes. Join up when avail.

nobody is saying awakened can't clear growth, they're saying outsourcing the trash clear to pubbies under the guise of charity is dishonest as heck

No. Dishonest as heck is making sensationalized claims because you enjoy posting a lot. The details of the event are clearly stated. It doesn't say this is a giveaway. This is Everquest, you kill mobs for gear. Everything in the zone has a chance to drop items and the mini-bosses (of which there are a lot) all are guaranteed to drop gear with the exception of the Guardian of Takish. There is even a chance that Tunare could drop 3 BPs which would just be randomed.

If that doesn't satisfy you and you want to get the highest end loot, join the highest end guilds. If you don't want to do that but still see some content that you might not, maybe do a raid like this one.

Some people in this thread keep trying to drum up this sense of entitlement. No one has used the word charity except those people. I'll reiterate, I don't think the benefit of pugs to the clear time is going to be very spectacular, on the flip side some people will definitely get a shot at some gear they would have no chance at normally. I wouldn't call that charity but if you like playing this game and are currently in a less hardcore play mode it definitely sounds like a nice opportunity to be offered.
