What if one of us were hired by SOE as a Dev? Do we have to quit our guild and quit playing EQ2? Or do we just have to not talk to anyone about it. As soon as you restrict who can play, you start a horrible trend of events.

Theres alot more to EQ2 than joining a WW raid guild. The 1% of 1%. All I've done is ban them from 1% of 1% of their content, hardly game destroying by an means.

And if I was given a job at SOE, and told "Ok, due to a conflict of interests, you aren't allowed to join a high end raid guild (whatever they decide to define that as)". I would have no issue whatsoever, since it makes sense and I don't really have any place raiding with them on a live server to begin with.

I personally never said devs couldn't play. I said it is unethical of them to influence play that affects the general population. If they don't do this then I've got no problem with them playing.

The big misunderstanding here, is that people are assuming because they can't raid in the high end, they can't play their game. Couldn't be further from the truth.

Why limit this to high-end raiding, guilds? Devs with advanced knowledge of changes to game mechanics could use that to exploit the market and cause all sorts of problems with the economy. They could also give players insider info on quests - for example, a quest like Knights in the Round or Speak as a Dragon, required finding a number of well-hidden updates. Having a dev in your guild could be seen as a major unfair advantage.

You are the one who created this poll Arduros. You're the one who brought this up in the first place. Why in the fuck are you changing now?

Devs should be allowed to play any part of this game that they want to. End of argument.

My stance has been the same since page 1, Devs should not be permitted in high end raid guilds.

And you're a retard for thinking so. Why are they to be punished because they work for a company? Jesus, some of you people can't see past the nose on your face. The game we play is bigger than you, or your guild. The devs love EQ2 as much as we all do, and they shouldn't be restricted from raiding because they have a job.

Now your just being a Dumbass. Theres EQ2i, and other sites that provide walk throughs on quests, infact theres even a few available on the official forums. Raid mobs....not so much.

Apples to oranges my friend.

Ok, before you breakdown into tears, listen closely: DEVS SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO RAID IN HIGH END RAID GUILDS.

Now wipe your eyes Chris Crocker. Next time you feel like posting in my thread do so like a man, with some dignity. No need turn on the waterworks, like its that time of the month.
