I'm thinking of selling all the set's and just keeping one so i can get 2 -3 mill back. -------------------- Taken❒ Single❒ Mad✔ <+Mark``> i think the brothers GF is going into labour <+Mark``> I WANNA WATCH YU-GI-OH   | ||||||

Either way raiding should be balanced between F2P and P2P. That way it's fair to those who don't have P2P or don't want to pay for RS. -------------------- Taken❒ Single❒ Mad✔ <+Mark``> i think the brothers GF is going into labour <+Mark``> I WANNA WATCH YU-GI-OH | ||||||

We always resort to P2P when we don't pull 20, or however many we usually pull. Who cares if you get dominated in F2P PvP? It is only 200k. --------------------      | ||||||

No I mean it's not like in P2P where we stand a chance. In general we don't stand a chance against any F2P teams, purely on account of their size. I don't mind losing a few rune sets, as you say, theyre like 200k lolz, but why force newer members, in particular, to come to a raid that they may not enjoy as much as a p2p raid, where they WILL get dropped and lose all their money. -------------------- | ||||||

It is easier to get dropped in P2P, in general, sets and gear are more expensive for P2P, and we don't stand a chance in P2P either. All we have done on raids that I have been to lately is sit around BH and CWA and drop low numbers and when higher numbers come, we hide and sit in a safe spot. No fun at all doing that. As you can see from this thread and others that have posted before, newer members want F2P. They apparently know the risks of F2P yet they still want it. Throw them a bone and give them F2P raids. Hell I want a F2P PKRI so I can lose some sets, but no one will give me one of those. If you don't give them what they want, then they will just leave to go to what they want. Others have done it, so what stops them? Trust me... that thought has crossed my mind many of times. -------------------- | ||||||

Were you just on the raid with Sabres? We just dominated dude, completely dominated for 2 hours. Um ok i'll make you a deal. If you can GUARANTEE that we will get good attendance from F2P raids then I will push for more to be hosted. *pokes Luke and Jordan and Dieyou2000 and DZ and Justin* But the same thing always happens - the same f2p members ask for an f2p raid and then either don't come or skip (even when they say on sign ups that they are coming). It's always happened, because people realise how boring it will be and therefore donm't have the motivation to attend. -------------------- | ||||||

Not many that's for sure. Wanna know why?

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | I enjoy P2P far more than F2P. When there is action, it's fun. I find F2P incredibly boring, and even when we do run into someone/a team it's significantly harder to get kills, whereas in P2P, freezes last for 15-20 seconds so meleers can get more than one hit in before binds have to be thrown again. I personally don't really care about dying or losing sets...I have them so I might as well use them up. --------------------   | ||||||
