listen up you dumb fuck. you obviously missed the entire point of my fucking post.
i was fuckin defending ER. they have their own way of doing things, and nobody's to say whether its better or worse. it's all subjective shit when it comes down to it. it just so happens that their way of doing things earns them a lot of ire because it fucks over non-guildies and they treat non-guildies like shit. again, it doesn't fuckin matter because they don't owe anyone shit and nobody owes them shit. there's no commandment or absolute rule that you have to be nice or considerate in this game. what your major problem is, is that you can't bring yourself to admit that ER is a group of self-serving assholes. there's nothing fucking wrong with that. what i'm trying to hammer into these newblets heads is that they have a choice of whether to party with ER or not and shouldnt go fucking nuts every time they get fucked over in raid loot or treated like shit, verbally abused, or kicked without warning, or have their time wasted, or whatever. im sick and tired of fuckin tools getting all worked up about how they never get jackshit from ER raids or that they lost a roll because they had 9 ER rolling against them for an item only 1 ER guy needed. its not against the rules. its how they roll. newbs dont got any right to say how the game is played. there is no absolute. you need to chill out and accept that ER is what it is. whoever in ER is trying to improve their rep, i commend that, but let's fuckin face it, ER's culture is ER's culture is ER's culture and 1 or 2 guys trying extra hard to be nice is not going to change that image.
We don't charge by the paragraph, you know.
No, Sir Foams-at-Mouth, I did not miss the fact that your post was in defense of ER. You, however, clearly missed that mine was not aimed solely at you.

No, the way a small handful of members treat non-guildies does that. The size of that handful depends on the current position on their cycle.

While not in those exact words, there most definitely are rules addressing this. I should know, as I wrote the original ER charter,
which survives with some modification to this day.

Some are. Clearly, the ones you interact with. However, I've known the vast majority of ER members over the years, so I know your claim to be untrue.

Indeed.

That image changes every 6-12 months, and has done so since ER was first created. So aside from the entire history of ER speaking against what you say, sure!
Boy, for a guy who came on here all piss and vinegar about how no one else knows shit about ER, you sure don't seem to know shit about ER...
