Man, raiding in EA is gunna be a shit-show / *Grabs Popcorn* event.

Got staff handing out "here pick one" *Sends them the full loot list* from bosses that aren't itemized.
Got staff handing out boss scripts for things like how to cheat bone construct, pustulax and Ga'Duuz.
Got staff offering to "Spawn bosses til they beat it"

If you had any hope / desire to do "World First" type stuff in this game better find out which guilds are the ones with GM's counseling them early on because you KNOW there will be some "Oh man, maybe you should check under THAT ROCK OVER THERE" level help from some of the staff.

The problem was they did not let raids happen naturally - and now trying to “make it work” causes all sorts of issues.

They have no balance-ability on 90% their high end content. because it’s not really being consumed in any real way.

Side note? The bends garrison faction SUCKS… the bracers are rare… I got all 4 heads now and I am not even kindly lol.

Have you never played EQEmu or something

Edit: To be fair it prob also happened with EQ back in the day with some of the more obscure epic quest shit for example

Never no-lifed an emu, don't see the point in no-lifing a system I could boot up on a home-brew and just give myself all the shit I want. To me the fun of an MMO is doing something challenging that everyone else is struggling the same way on, no cheesing the shit out of it. Part of the reason Aradune sucked so much, everyone knows the cheese so everyone abuses the cheese.

Part of me says "Sure, finding the chesese is fun" but the reality is that these systems people are cheesing are so basic that it's kinda comical that these "Raiding guilds" have to be told the cheese instead of just figuring it out.

As for EQ...ya, 100% happened in EQ, but with Shawn trying hard to not fall in the same pit that pantheon fell into on that front...it's entertaining to watch.

So I don’t believe Shawn will play favorites honestly. But if you really think about it like what type of person REALLY volunteers to GM for a game for no pay at all? THAT is the kinda person that deep down thrives on being the local cop and playing favorites
