Anyone want to run Defiler of the Just with me?

If you get a Sightless, I'll give you so-much astral shards to pass it to me.

Not sure how many it's worth but hey free chance at some astral shards.

I would send money via PayPal but idk if that's allowed by Turbine so I guess a trade would be better, if that's something that can be done.

You can mail astral shards right?

I'm on raid timer at the moment but I can bypass it.

You can't mail AS.
You can buy a TP code and exchange that.
Shame that DoJ isn't running much on Sarlona.

Recent content doesn't seem to have longevity.

btw drop rates in all the "new" epic raids were designed to consume all the duped/carded raid bypasses. unquestionably.

srsly 1-2% drop on en, 3-5% eh, and like 8-10 ee, maybe a bit better, but compare these drop rates to old raids. Where you had 14-18% on normal.

Best player on the server and cheaper than P4P.   

Wow.  Struggling to get in DoJ runs seems odd.  DoJ is run on Khyber nightly.  You can get 20 runs done in a week easily if you have the bypass timers and are on from 7pm-10pm US Eastern.  Especially right now.  My guild is focused on getting DoJ runs in before the new 2 or 3 raids come out and interest drops off along with getting ITR and ER's done before cap goes up.

love citw. mostly because that and fot were the raids people did non-stop when I joined. was a really fun time for me, being new and learning it all. and raids were all day everyday. not today's bullshit where I have to find primetime US hours like watching a tv show.

never did titan. although i had flagged for it a few months ago.

No, yes, yes.

I remember the high-stakes PVP matches that occurred on Sarlona.  First it was plat: $100k per death.  Then it was astral shards: 100 per death (you'd post a lump of coal for 122 or 133 or whatever the fuck the cut was so the other player could get their straight 100 shards.)


Those were some good times.

Back in the day, before shards, that's all we had to bet with.  Nobody wanted to play for actual currency.

If you're not gambling: you're doing life wrong.

Yea im always anon.. been so for a few years. Id get harrassed too much for items or to run shit.  And im mostly airship piking now days or just hanging with guildies. When i do run things alone i put up lfms to help others. I only need shit out of raids and it would take too long to fill with enough people to even shortman them easily. I might have to start etring for something to do but i hate wearing shit gear for 7 to 8 lvls...lol

CiTW is just a bunch of too many sacks of HP thrown at you.  Add in a lame escort component and The Most Boring Raid Boss in the Game who also happens to like to zap SP (always a not fun choice) and then terrible drop rates, especially on the comms.  It takes twice as long to run as FoT and offers 1/5th the chance at comms that FoT does.  And you need like 50 of them to upgrade one weapon fully. 

Let's get back to Lolth.  The very first raid in the game (no, not Tempest Spine, the one with actual raid loot, flagging, and a 3 day replay timer) had a non-mobile boss (Velah).  Since then our bosses are the Titan, DQ, Reaver, Abbott, Hound, Suulu, Harry, Horoth(and Suulu again), The CAD (assist from Suulu again), The LoB, two Titans(and Toven), Lolth, Truthful One (and Reaver again), Deathwyrm, Two Red Dragons, The Abbott again(with Lady Vol), and Eudoxia.  Hell, throw in Sorjek Incanni twice.  Once for Tempest Spine and once for SoS (which was originally supposed to be a raid).

Of this group, how many don't move AT ALL?  Only two .  Velah and Lolth.  The Abbott technically never moves, but does teleport around and Toven doesn't really move, but he's not really the boss fight besides a little end DPS on him. 

I'll forgive a raid boss that doesn't move in 2006, but not in 2012.  It is unoriginal and lame.  Further, Lolth is an iconic D&D big bad.  To make her that lame and boring is unforgivable.  They were coming off of LoB.  One of the most dynamic and challenging raid bosses they ever made.  And they give us this?  Autoattack at her navel and wait?  Screw that.  It's a bad raid.   

EDIT:  I get the "raid I started with" thing.  For me that was Shroud, Hound, and VoD.  We did raid trains of those nightly in 2008 and early 2009.  Technically, the first raid I ever ran was VoN, but that was back when people used the hero method and I hated it.  The leader would send one person to each of the three bases and dog cuss anyone else who moved from behind the rocks.  Then, we would all run in and stand at the safe spot and heal the hero tank who would beat down Velah.  Your only job was to cast heals, use scrolls, or wands on the hero until they killed Velah.  If you weren't the hero, the raid basically sucked ass in those days.  The epic version was way better.
