Difficult experience in Forked Tower – a reminder to respect public content

[Volgia]

The answer, in my opinion, is very straightforward.

The first time was a mistake.
The second time was intentional.



This is what is colloquially known as "lying".

Maybe he regretted it then, but BA has been popular for a long time, so maybe it was a happy mistake, cuz I agree this was intentional, and I don't think it's a bad thing.

Teamspeak existed back then yes but it was just that, teamspeak (we only used ingame chat tbh) and the number of players using it was quite low.
No raid plans like today, no pings with passwords or such things.

CLL, Dalriada and all of that went dead for a while. Whereas BA still has a community around it doing content even 8 years after it came out. Also, that was not my experience, every single hard-type content raid I got asked to join a Ventrilo (which I think you needed to connect in a F2P with passwords and ips) or Teamspeak. Organizing it through text was a nightmare.

Most people hate the fact that they have to submit to a clique gatekeeping this content, but they do it anyway or they will never get the mount or the achievements. If they don't submit to the clique they will get griefed. Just because that's how it's been doesn't mean people are happy with it. This issue with Forked Tower is just bringing the long-running undercurrent of discontent to a head.

I think people don't know what they want. They want to get through the content but if it were too easy it'd be dead within a few weeks or months (I had instances at the end of ShB where getting into Dalriada was simply impossible where as I had no issues grabbing a group for BA on EW's drought), so what you think is bad or inconvenient might turn out not to be so.
