The sole purpose of doing this is to increase your distributions.

Let's call this what it is, and stop trying to pretend it is for some different or altruistic purpose.

If you're going to be a prostitute, at least be a proud one.

Just Saying.
LFG is Onyx's biggest fanboi at this point in time. Keep that in mind when reading his posts, they need to be taken with a grain of salt. He (and a select handful of other Onyx members) will be claiming that Onyx is #1 until the end of time, regardless of the circumstances.

The only thing I can think to explain this mindset amongst certain Onyx members is that they were so embarassed and frustrated after rolling off of some limited success in early EoF and rolling into this current stalemate that their egos just self-destructed and they're now doing as much PR damage control through propaganda as they can cram in. Once Onyx's avatar kills started to become severely throttled towards the end of EoF, they dove into a state of panic and started to recklessly recruit in an attempt to steamroll any kind of contested blocking attempt. This wanton recruiting continued through EOF and into ROK.

With a guild their size they now have the ability to very easily provide a full x4 block crew alongside their main raid in an attempt to overmatch the competition... unfortunately they made a critical error and didn't count on the ROK contested fights being too unstable for any of this to really matter. Contested pulls are easily stopped with even a handful of people and an x1-x2 distracting the block crew. The leadership grossly overrecruited and bloated their roster into a beast of a guild, promising the glory of avatar lewtz, and none of that has materialized. Sucks for them, eh? =)

Onyx's Motto: "If it ain't true, keep saying it until people think it's true. If it never becomes true, keep saying it anyway for consistency."

Truly a sad story in our modern times!

I think I must have missed that econ lecture in college where they explained the analogous nature of capitalism and prostitution. Ironically, it was probably EQ1 that caused me to miss it! Lulztastic! =)

Thank you for the compliment.

It's hard to be humble as a member of the finest raid, PVP, and questing guild on Nagafen!

Go go KrakenWorker.com nerd rage over "logistics" and "ethics" in a video game! GG!

I think it's hilarious because Kraken must be sick of us and being #2 made to block us everytime instead of pulling mobs themselves. Thus, why not sell mythicals! rofl

Well Oobo, to be fair, Onyx has been holding their own in raid PvP against us lately. That's a good thing though... after getting stomped all over the latter half of EoF raid PvP and then early RoK raid progression, they needed some kind of morale boost. ;)

I won't go into issues of numbers and who brought an x8 and who brought an x6.275 and who had how many warlocks or healers, that's just a lot of excuses, and both sides have certainly made them. What I know is that Onyx, even after siphoning off some of the more PvP-oriented Kraken members in EoF, got absolutely decimated when it was "even" raid PvP. They've done a bit better lately, which is good, because I don't know how much longer their fragile egos could have taken the constant battering. And I wouldn't want the competition to get disgruntled and evaporate. =)

No doubt you were number one in EOF...but what honestly makes you think your number 1 in ROK??

Edit: The irony is great now how you brag about pulling avatars...lol grats. Phineus made a comment about pulling contested not to long ago and you shot him down. Hypocrite much?
