This isn't an arguement anyone can win. You have two types of people, raiders vs casual. Raiders get it, they understand that contested give you a goal, something to one day hope to acheive, and whether they like it or not, a way to prove who the better raiding guilds are, because lets face it, anyone can get through the instanced content eventually, it's just a matter of time.

Casual players don't get it, and that's cool, they have different goals, like someday I hope to be max level or something like that. They will never get it, and there's no convincing them. Either you get it or you don't.

Contested are the end game of end game. And they are, this is a fact now, the funnest content in the entire game. I've never had more fun then when killing contested. If you've never fought one then you don't have the right to say that dev's shouldn't waste their time creating it.

Make contested spawn between 5:30pm and 10pm then it would be a laugh as it is those who choose not to work but play a game all day can and will down contested. Quite often a guild will get to contested before another guild if the majority or a fair amount don't have commitments.

However make contested spawn between 5:30 and 10pm and not just one but multiple mobs it would be fun. The best guild would and could probably one shot em but there's still that elemenent of which one do you go for etc etc.

Seriously, though, part of the fun with contested is the hunt. What's up, what can we kill / attempt, if we didn't kill them, who did and when so we can check for spawns.

If I had to choose one word to describe contested it would be "ultimate." Ultimate fun, ultimate challange, hmm, maybe that sounded stupid, but whatever.

On my server fable own contested tbh. And thats fine by me however how can it be fun if they have it all on lockdown rinse repeat i think any HC guild wants some real competition or don't they?

The few times we actually got a contested over the other 2 guilds felt like a great sense of achievement for us and it was a change from the norm. However i don't know about others servers i know Runnyeye has had some good competitions with contested as they have x2 guilds that can all contested.

Part of the fun is killing them without anyone watching, then making your competition think you haven't killed it yet, and making them camp for a few days

This is also the reason you are in the 3rd best guild on SP, but whining you want a shot at contested, but have to rely on either 3-4 being up at once, or catching them popping outside of thier scheduled window for whatever reason.

That SoE or any company will do whatever is most profitable, in the short or long run, is out of the question.

you call us elitist etc when none of us have said that u think we get off on dominating the server we dont its killing the mob that we like you very first post on this board was full of pressumtion and hate for hardcore guilds it appears it doesent matter what we say because u hated our type of player from day one

i dont know what it is maybe you got pwned in a duel by a hardcore woodworker or something but it is very clear to me that when it comes to hardcore guilds you are most definetly a hater
