I wouldn't want to be guilded with someone, who's gonna pick fights when they get chewed out. It's no different then your drill sergeant berating you to push yourself harder. Making it through the tough times together is what builds unity in a guild, and thats what they're trying to accomplish. To quit just because someone is saying your doing poorly, and need to improve, shows alot about your character IRL.

The point of the post was asking a very simple question, before a bunch of people jumped on board and tried to derail it with an insult fest,(EQ2 Flames FTW) and that was: Whats the point?

Why is it neccesary for a bunch of people to shit talk like a bunch of grade school bullies punking out the "not so cool kids" because they havent invested thier entire lives to "dominating" a server, and "locking it down" so noone else can play. Seems rather retarded to me, but hey, whatever floats your boat I guess. I guess my point was, your o so uber "lockdown of the server" only matters to the MAYBE 24 other people on the server who never leave thier house, and want a chance to "lockdown" the server so noone else can. What are there? maybe, 2-3 guilds a server TOPS who have any chance of this? So the other 1000s of players on the server who have jobs, wives and lives and dont care to invest thier time like that arent as "awesome" as you are? And because of that you will let some high school aged windbag on the other side of the country talk to you like hes your boss, or a drill seargent and your his soldier? Jees, not me lol.

I was just curious as to why someone who never leaves thier huose so they can raid at all hours of the day and night, gets to belittle people, and talk down to them, because they spend more of thier free time in a digital world than someone else does. I dont understand why you feel so l33t, and asked for clarification, which noone seemed to be able to give me, so instead we start throwing insults...Awesome!

Kinda wacked imo.

O and to the guy who said his guild locks down the whole server in 3 hours a night, 3 nights a week. Come on man, if your gonna make up shit that the whole EQ2 world knows is a fucking outright falsehood, at least try to make it somewhat realistic lol. You can clear all the contested mobs on your server in 9 hours a week? What private shard/server was it you played on again?

Everyone has there own reasons for raiding. Some love the challenge, many crave the loot, and others for the that sense of being a part of a unit, that can accomplish great feats. Thats just the tip of the iceburg, theres about as many different reason for raiding, as there are people who raid. There is no scientific answer based on facts, graphs or other forms of empiracal evidence, that explains the fun behind end game raiding. Its based purely on emotion, and human opinion.

Its no different than asking someone why they collect rocks, or strands of Ron Jeremy's pubic hair. No matter the reason they give, they do it simply because they enjoy it.

You didn't like the answers you got, and proceeded to insult those who gave them to you. Then you come back with this shit?

First off, THERE IS A FUCKING QUOTE BUTTON, USE IT! This copy/paste bullshit only helps to emphasis how fucking stupid you really are.

Second, you refuse to accept the answers people have given you. To the people not at the top of their server (I was there for a long time), its more about the progression of your own guild. What other guilds are doing and how fast they do it is inconsequential. Much like the millions of people who belong to bowling leagues. Just because EQ2 will never be presented on ESPN doesn't mean that people don't enjoy it much the same way that other people enjoy bowling.

Third, just because someone is in the top guild on the server doesn't mean they are no-life morons. This isn't eq1 in its heyday. That stereotype has been proved time and again to be false. The top guilds could finish all EOF instance content in 2 days of raiding, 4-5 hours a day. That leaves 5 days a week to go out and get laid, get high, get wasted, or pharm the fuck out of lower level zones for platz, or killing the 4 or 5 contested that mean a damn. I don't think its all that hard to "lockdown" a handful of mobs that usually don't even spawn on the same day, and take less than 30 mins to kill.

And fourth, your "rationalizing" just as much for NOT raiding, as you seem to think high end raiders rationalize FOR raiding. Just because you don't enjoy it and don't think its fun doesn't mean you're right and those of us who raid hard core or even semi-casually are stupid and don't know better. Its called an opinion, everyone has them, and in this case, yours stinks.

Do you read? I said I do enjoy raiding very much, just not like its a full time job.
Grabted if thats your trip, roll with it.
AGAIN FOR FUCKING CLARIFICATION LOL:

My original post was about, Why is it people who raid end game feel like they get to talk shit to those who dont, and belittle them, treat them with no respect?

Which was answered several times with the, "we raid because we can" mantra.

/shrug

Im done with this, thanks for the laughs though, cause well be chuckling about this all day at work...

You don't get it, do you?

How's raiding a full time job if you can clear all instanced content in 2-3 days?

I'm sure my guild raided less hours in EoF than those casual raid guilds.
