some of you might not like the direction this thread is heading, but the general idea is.... not lame. nor is it stupid.
lame would be a Vyemm kill thread. or speculating on who will be the next guild to clear Freethinkers Hideout. or we could expand the scope of the conversation to include daytime soaps, or the backstreet boys, or hyundai vehicles, or dudes with pierced nipples -- all of which would be excellent examples of lameness. i'd say that speculating on who will be the next guild to clear the biggest obstacle in game right now is... not lame.
in case anyone's forgotten, onra popped the cherry on this subject about, oh, 5 months ago.
look.

neither the lost or lineage were mentioned... and while this thread focused on entrance, we're talking about a zone clear now. none of the guilds mentioned there have cleared VP in the subsquent 5 months they've been in "contention" for it, and several of those guilds have yet to make it past tier 2.
i'd also like to understand what amount of effort is implied from the 2-3 minutes it took for chuman OR mixer to make their respective posts? how does that effort equate in mob-killing terms? and since we're halving that figure, is that.... like 38 arrows? 22.5 combat arts? whatever it is, i'm gonna go out on a really big limb here and suggest that hasn't been the reason only 2 guilds have cleared VP thus far...
