Or maybe it gives the noobs who are bored to death and tired of logging in to run COA for the millionith time something to strive for and get them excited about the game again.

Who is to say how each different player should enjoy the game? If plats were actually worth anything anymore, perhaps I could agree a little. But seriously, are you the person I should validate my $15 a month too?

I don't think guilds selling mythicals are the problem. A mythical isn't going to prevent you from sucking at tanking, or healing or DPSing. So there goes that theory. And why shouldn't a player who has the plat be able to get his/her mythical if he/she can't get into one of the exclusive raid guild?

Free market economy. We don't need anymore SOE interventions.

Based on?
Nothing, thought so.

Raid Guilds are hardly "exclusive." Unless you mean, the fact that most don't take shit players.

Buying mythicals does not make you into a superstar raider. What it does is take a guild that's just barely not able to beat content, and allows them to progress. You could hand some guilds mythicals and it wouldn't do a fucking thing. Let me present to you as a case study: Resurrection, the laughing stock of Nagafen raiding, who illegitimately stole an instance of VP when another exiled guild (mine) left for a faction and a disgruntled member gave away our wing-1-cleared lockout to a guild of exploiters and worthless scrubs. They ended up with appx 15 mythicals before the GM's (rightfully) reversed their retarded initial ruling and GMslayed everything left in the zone and cleared the lockout timer for both guilds involved. It still took Resurrection months to legitimately re-clear the gatekeeper mobs and finish the zone again on their own merit.

Also, as a little aside, a testament to this game's airtight coding... an x6+ worth of players, opposite factions, fighting within the same instanced raid zone:

If we weren't literally fresh off the betrayal boat from exile and dealing with app1's and missing set gear/weapons, I think we might have had a chance to wipe their raid. They had NFI what to do with Taskmaster; was probably the longest recorded kill of that mob in EQ2 history. If the first 2 nameds they fought weren't permarooted ezmode they would have likely never killed anything before the GM's reversed later the next day. Ah, memories!

The fact that people are responding to Thwoompa are funny. He's just trying to cause a riot, but in reality he's just talking about his own guild and how they should be stuck in PR still.

Ah sweet drama. What happens in PvP if you engage the Taskmaster and then run away toward the entrance? Can the enemy guild still kill him and get an update?

firamas · 09-11-2008, 01:08 PM

pvp ruleset (longer cures, reduces heals/dmg, etc) breaks after a period of time with no pvp action, but yes either way you would get the update. it was just plain weird engaging in raid vs raid pvp within your own instanced PVE zone though.

it was truly an epic evening, and i'm glad i was able to be part of it!
