Yes, it's really bad. Everyone please move over to Thelanis, and take Stoddard, Shang, Vaelani, Brezren and Erofen with you.

Take Veriden, too. They can be in a guild together: Full Retard

Don't know, what people expect, elitist behavior is all over the place, like on every server. Fyi, Orien has become default server for new players, as I have been told, we are the 2nd largest at the moment (Even Stddard gets his LFMs filled, his endurance is remarkable....like having a LFM up for 3 hours^^).

All in all the pug situation has improved, the quality of players I don't know. I don't zerg, instead I kill everything, since I hate dungeon alert *shrug*. The last puggies, who joined me were okay, so I'd say: it is not as bad as you believe.

Hey - I don't zerg. I PROTOSS. The difference is the zerg just keep running til they die. I (generally) don't die. Nor do I get dungeon alert - one of the advantages of knowing how to use the invis spell properly.

Besides, pretty sure that NOTdarth was just trying to get rid of some of those folk. I do agree that Stod's 3-12 hour LFMs are worthy of some enduring conviction awards. I have no qualms about the Turtle Sword-Captain.

There are surprisingly less elitist behavior now. With all the different builds available, there is no "MY BUILD IS THE ONLY BUILD TO BE USED ergo YOUR BUILD SUXX YOU SHOULD REROLL" mentality. Except for Vaelani and Veriden.

Well, my point is, Orien has evolved like every other server had. Channels appeared, people, who like to play with each other (whatever Wink) separate from unknown people. And with this kind of contacting growing, the trainee raids by big guilds vanished; I never saw a LoB LFM by you for 2 years or so^^ (even some former big guilds aren't there any more, RI, Intel, Epic Fail gone as well it seems. it's normal, I guess. No, Stoddard is not!)

Former elitism fun fact:
I remember when Desnol (hope he logs on again some day) told us, he was declined for abbot, since he used a 3x pos morningstar instead of warhammer. It was one die step short of maximum dps, so he was declined. Cheesy

p.s.: Yes, that was after release of EDs iirc.

p.p.s.: you don't join my LFMs, too. So I call lies about not dying ;P. Evidence Watson!

*generally* don't die.

This includes time logged just afk, time strolling about, time chatting in channel, time on the airship admiring the pretty shinies, computed on average of time spent dead. I believe that overall computation would be [<time spent dead>/<overall game time = time dead + time loitering + time in quests>](100) = X%, where X is the "don't die" percentage of gaming. If X is greater than or equal to 51%, then "generally don't die" is a valid hypothesis.

12 hours. Impartial 3rd party.

I modify my posts several times. How dare you ruining my poetry Grin

math only overcomplicates things. And, that is your theory. But I am a practical person. Hypothesis is nothing of value to me. Only hard soulstone currency^^.

Yeah. And seems to embrace his, as he puts it himself, gimpness.

Blame order: healer > cc > tank > lag

Since I rarely run with healers, cc, or dedicated tanks - if you ever saw my tarnished and burn-marked soulstone, it was due to lag.

That's what healers used to say frequently: sorry, lag ;P. Sure you didn't run with one?

That's standard blame order.  Mostly by idiots.  In my experience, better DPS actually solves most problems.  Mobs can't hurt you when they are dead.

Emm. No. Blame order is commonly lag, I lagged, "I can't even move" - lag.

Tongue I'm certain, though, that sometimes "lag" is just reckless play.

Oh.

Well, that quoted post was one of the reasons I thought that you were Veriden =P.

I wouldn't want to impose Vaelani, Veriden, or Stod on Thelanis. I'd make them establish Full Retard in Wayfinder. Tell them that community pillars are needed there or something, and hold an online donation drive to transfer their toons.

I don't hate Germany! I'm an avid fan of German products. Like porn. Can't get enough of them, and there's a little feeling of guild that I can squelch quite easily.

Wait - is Wayfinder supposed to be German?

Jawohl! Or did they finally retract that unneeded label? If so, I fully support your project. if not, I better hand out some pamphlets to all 3 players on Wayfinder^^.
