Since I know this will be something discussed tonight/tomorrow, I figured I would get things started.
I don't necessarily agree with what happened tonight, but I definately see both perspectives, and can see where everyone is coming from.
First of all, I did originally try to have something defined in the NToV rules about patches and rotting dragons (and yes, ANYTHING that rots due to a patch is a bad thing). In that respect, I can understand Vindication wanting to move into NToV today to try to ensure that didn't happen, when I think we can all say with about 98% certainty that L`Malla was NOT going to be killing Vulak today.
I was surprised when I zoned into ToV later this evening to find Vindication alone in the zone however. As it was L`Malla's turn in NToV, and they should have continued pulling/killing as if there was no other guild there.
To Vindication, I think things could have been handled much more smoothly had you contacted L`Malla about the upcoming patch/rot situation before just barging into the zone. Believe it or not, things could have probably worked out good for both of you had you done that.
Anyway... I don't agree with the "pushing aside" of someone else as was done today, that was really bad form in my eyes. Vindication really should have tried to convince L`Malla *before* today that rotting dragons were bad, and that by allowing 2 guilds to complete NToV on the eve of a patch was a positive thing for everyone involved.
Now we have this event which is just going to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, heh.
