Ok, so here is the scenario: I have a burning desire for Seraphim
Shoes. I have been willing to drop everything when the
opportunity to get closer to wrapping that blessed leather around my
digital feet arises. Towards that end, I organized a nice group
of friends to hand the Antediluvian his *CENSORED* and claim my second Box #4.
Now I have done Box #4 two other times, once was mine, once was not, both times ended in disastrous
failure. This time, with a large team of roughnecks, and a better
opening spot, we were able to make short work of the angel crew.
Alas, Ninja Looters arrived just in time to deny me my precious Record
of Ruin and Seraphic Wing, so it was back to the Antediluvian's place,
to tapdance on his face once more.
That done, I returned to the opening spot for my second Box of the
night. I gathered a small army, and we sent those Angels
screaming to hell. Victory! Denied. Through my own
stupidity and the magic of loot-distribution that you CANNOT switch
back to free-for-all once it is on anything else, I ended up looting my
Seraphic Wing to my friend. Joy.
So now we are on the third Box of the night. This time the
Antediluvian is spared my wrath, because of a kind soul (thanks 750)
who was willing to let me have the Wing from his Box. Game on!
The Army is gathered. Its a beautiful thing, Zion, Machines, and
Merovingians all working together to kick some Angelic hiney. Its
working out well too, so well that we even have a few lowbies watching
to learn how to beat Box 4.
Then the senseless act that I will never understand, and that forces me
to bring this event to your attention. Just as the second wave
was being killed off from my box, SOMEONE OPENS A SECOND BOX 4, FIVE FEET AWAY.
To the credit of everyone fighting, we did not let this destroy
us. We still managed to work the original Box down to only one
surviving Angel, but the timing was skewed so that just as we were
ready to focus on killing him, the third wave emerged from the second
Box, and began to lay waste to everything and everyone. As a
result of this act, neither Box was finished, and in the chaos, all of
the loot was "Ninja'ed". The kind person who donated me his Wing
did not get to search a single body.
Now my question to you, oh-great-and-wise-community: *CENSORED*? Who
does that? Everyone who was there seems to think that this was an
open-and-run, that whoever popped it took off immediately after, which
forces me to ask, WHY? Why ruin a perfectly successful effort of
mass-cooperation with idiocy? And more importantly, WHY WON'T YOU
LET ME GET THE **bleep** SHOES???
Sorry. This is upsetting. I will close by saying for
everyone who joined my "Rainbow Army", you guys rock, and I hope we can
do it again sometime; And for whoever opened that second Box, if I find
you, I will grind your soul into base elements.
