So guys, the other day, i was doing random stuff, and decided to check what is happening on global...Enjoy:
Firsly, to new players, mostly - Watch out!
Now, don't get me wrong. Sindy is perfectly beatable with 5.4k gs, though probably bql would be a little tricky - still, with clever paladins and correct positions, it is perfectly possible. However, as most old players know, this simply will no. will not happen on a regular pug (was with even <17/25 before the screenshot), and any wise raid leader would simply not even dare to aim for sindy, before he knows his group well.
Rather, the future of this raid is following: Marrowgar - k; Lady - nerf mc plz -.- stop killing/be killed on sight, ok yey we beat her! gunship - lead change for hc - k; pug deathbringer - wipe; disband. Why?
Because, when one makes a raid, he must try to look for some thinking players (or, at least to be sure the case is not the contrary). A good raid leader, will always keep in mind that in a pug, especially on alt run, he cannot be sure everyone to play correctly; and that, on bosses with special abilities which can and will wipe the raid, are not to be underestimated until you outgear the encounter and ignore them. Which is impossible with the given gs! (ok a small note here, we actually once did, with another fellow holydin - icc 10, 6 marks i believe or more, yet we beat him xD *nah we werent even trying*)
Again, any old player would immediately smell something fishy going around as for new players, the scheme is not too hard to be dismantled - see, the minors before marrowgar and the elevator lady are quite plentiful, so you have a good chance to get several 264 items. Marrowgar drops a ring, lady a bracer, lootship.... if played on normal, dont remember, sadly, yet chance on easy 264/277 items for your character are rather good. Dbs wipe. Oh and ye, 3 chances on a primo arent bad at all you know!
See, not everyone is alike - ie, i personally make such runs sometimes, without reserving boes & stuff, however... unfortunately, there are too many people hanging around, whose main objective is to make gold & coins, amm for no reason at all. Watch out, and think a little - wait a second, is this person really planning to do this?
For the case on the pic, i needed only a few words with that fella for him to confess he did it on purpose (and im a noble guy on the internet, ayyyy :d *.*)
As this is a topic for new players mostly, check the guides around the page, or use the search tools to look in old forum posts on how to get your items, so you can enjoy the game :) It isn't a lost cause, of course - it will be a little boring and grindy in the start, however - as a matter of fact, you will increase your gs the most during this grind, afterwards it is rather settled, as you hope on a drop and then to win it... (n times ks, yet still dont have a better weap than the battered hilt :d except a 258 mana/crit one, which has quite limited uses..)

It would probably be good even such raids to be branded against the rules - as, in deed, a good raid leader would organize & announce his raid in a different way, and such actions are playing against the new charas on the server...
P.s.: i havent finished arranging my action bars xd if anyone desires to know the Ignore me plz's real name, pm!
