Lately, a certain Guild on DC has been slandering us in zone, and accusing myself and my guild of Raiding on EP despite the fact that I have not entered Cyrodiil on my Ebonheart Dragonknight since the reroll almost 6months ago now. I feel as though I’ve repeated this a hundred times now, I have not played on EP since the reroll. VE does not have rules regarding where my players play when I am not leading. If you see VE members on EP but I am not there, it is NOT a raid. Chances are even high if you see them on DC without me, we are NOT raiding.
This guild with its lack of leadership and ability to listen to reason; saw some of my guys on EP occasionally and immediately concluded VE was playing red again. Without consulting me, without realizing it was just 3 or 4 members playing with some friends, without exercising any amount of common sense. After I attempted to reason with them and repair relations explaining that VE does not in fact raid on EP, we only fight for real on DC, I was met with more slander in zone despite promises it would end. Essentially I was given lip service with no real intention of halting their unfair and biased accusations.
We tried to take the high road and ignore them trying to continue to work with them, and the constant attempts to alienate us never ended. Going so far as to tell us DC does not need “red guilds”, “DC will never work with you,” and my personal favorite, “Better Dead Then Red.” I tried to be reasonable, but honestly, patience is a virtue that has so far escaped me. Enough was enough, if this guild wanted to see a Red VE Raid so desperately, I would show them one. The GM of this guild promised me himself if I played on EP he would bring “3 Full Groups.” An interesting promise when I threaten to go EP for real, I thought I was already playing on EP? True to his word he was out in force Friday, unfortunately I am also a man of my word. The map went red.
I brought my guys back out on EP for the first time in 6 months. Below is the documented raid night. It did not last as long as I would’ve liked. Wipes are included, we aren’t immortal, but we weren’t going to lose. A promise was made in zone that Glademist would be held all night turtled by three raids. I took it with one. After which it seems the spirit was broken, DC lost everything to Rayles and Warden including their remaining scroll. Glade, Ash and Aleswell stayed red for the majority of the remainder of our Raid night. Dragonclaw was traded back and forth. (I seriously hate riding up there.) After the glade take the enemy guild raid(s) disbanded under the guise of taking a break. They did not reform while we stayed on the server, and I waited, for a couple hours.
I think my point has been made. I do not play on EP. That is what a VE red raid looks like. I hope even they can see the difference between four of my guys being on red, and when I organize and lead them on red. I would also like to thank the EP Guilds that coordinated with me at almost a moment’s notice. I have spent the last 6 months killing these people, and yet when I came back to EP they were there to work together. Amazing how some can see past the ignorance of a simple color difference and understand what real teamwork is.
VE is still a DC guild and I am still for the win for DC. I have accepted relations with a certain guild are over. Remember that you asked me to go EP, and you lost. Everything. I believe the correct term is, Permarekt.
I do have one question for my opponents, is it truly better Dead than Red?
