A simple question

[Dartagnan]

I would like to ask a question here and I would like to have some honest answers from the GMs on this server as well as the community.

Do you believe people should be punished for their hard work?

Think about this. This rotation crap that has been posted has eliminated the hard work that members of IB have done since the server started. It is a punishment for being able to come together and get to the highest content the server has available first.

So I as well as others in our guild have busted our butts to be the top of the server only to have it literally TAXED and given to others who are not able to do what we are doing?

Transcendence was one of the first guilds on this server. They had EVERY opportunity to be the top guild. So because they fell behind there is going to be a forced rotation by our GMs which REWARDS them for falling behind.

So what now everyone? We wait for every guild to become raid ready and establish a rotation? Pretty soon it will not just be IB and Transcendence competing but more guilds. So what happens next everyone? 4 guilds get put on rotation? That will be exciting! You will be able to kill Nagafen once a month! Maybe every 2 months if 8 guilds get put on rotation.

Put yourself in our shoes. Imagine you have put in hard work on your character and are one of the first level 50s. Then imagine that you worked well with others to make a guild that assembles fast and is dedicated to the same goals as you are.

Now imagine all that hard work is just given away to others in the principle of "fairness."

Wenai, you're posts are flawed on a fundamental basis. When rewards of hard work are given out to those who work less, those who work less have EVERYTHING to GAIN by this rotation crap and those who work hard have EVERYTHING to LOSE.

You have nullified my hard work that I have put into this server and basically allowed others who started later and leveled up later to be on EQUAL footing as me. That is unfair and totally UNCLASSIC.

You do not understand the simple logic that it is possible for ANYONE on this server to compete just as hard at IB for their reward. You have basically told Transcendence that it is ok to NOT work as hard as you can, to NOT assemble yourselves and work together as a guild because you will reward them on the principal of fairness. All they have to do is plot along doing their subpar work and get the same reward.

Have fun with all this rotation people because it's going to screw us ALL in the long run. Or, you guys can sit down and look at yourselves and figure out how to be better to compete with us.

May the best guild win is what I say and in the event that IB should fall behind because others are working harder, then you should be congratulated.

So again, should those who work hard be punished?
