First, I had a really hard time reading through your post.
Second, no. You weren't only late 1 time. You're always late. Gather together is 1PM EST, and enter time is 2 PM EST. We require our members to be there by 1:45 AM in order for everyone to have a chance to start parties. Gather together is 1 hour before so that people know that they should start to leave their exp parties etc. at that time, so that they can be in the designated area prior to the run.
However, you seem to have had a very hard time of doing this, as you always showed up after 1:45. Several runs (more like 90% of the time) you showed up after this time. Most of the time around or past 2 PM EST. Mind you, we do /sea whore our members that don't show up quite a lot of times, and several occasions you were in a exp party UNTILL 1:45, thus resulting in you coming late. Since we were sick of this, we made the "if you're late, you're not allowed to lot that run" rule in an attempt to make people actually udnerstand the importance of showing up on-time, as it wastes everyone time if people keep coming late. Granted, most of the time we enter anyway and let people just drop in when they log on as we have someone outside waiting. But quite honestly, I was tired of this and made the new rule.
The time we kicked you were actually past your third offense. This is completely disregarding all of your stupid excuses. We also ask our members to post, or atleast contact a LS leader prior to the run if you're not going to attend or be late. Quite honestly, I never saw you do this once. And you constanty came late to the run. I believe ocne you said you were stuck in traffic, another time you had another sutpid excuse. It was never the same, always different. So you were either straight out lying about it, or you're just extremely bad at judging time.
Either way, this was far from your first misstake. We had been quite tired at you for a long time. The fact that you were doing Ohat were just the last drop. We actually had another member in that Ohat run, but he still came on time.
And on, I don't believe that theories affect drop rate, but some other members do. Personally, I don't really mind. I see it more as a test to see which members listen and follow rules and which don't.
The kicker though were when you demanded Aalea pay you for the time spent in the LS. Aalea have got full AF2 and an AF+1, and he's been a member and a leader for over 100 runs. That's over 400 hours just in attended runs, and that's ignoring all of the time he spends working on the LS outside of Dynamis runs. The way our LS work is that we reward dedicated members, as those are the ones we'd prefer to keep. People who often come, and on time, will get the most out of the shell. The less dedicated players (that would also most likely leave ocne they get what they want) get rewarded less. If someone only come 1/5th of the time, they will get 1/5th less then the other more dedicated members. They've proven their worth. It would be more of a loss to lose someone that come 8/10 runs then someone who only come 1/5 runs. If the 8/10 person leaves, that means we lose 8/10th of a member, as opposed to only 1/5 if the other member leaves, thus resulting in a greater loss for the LS as a whole.
Neither of us saw you as a very dedicated player. Thus, kicking you wouldn't result in much of a loss. It would also mean eventuall AF you would have obtained in the future would go to more dedicated members, thus benefiting the LS as a whole.
Yes, you can see us as harsh. You can see us as rude. You can see us as pure assholes and the devil himself in disguise. I can assure you that if you push my buttons and make the runs mroe complicated then they should be, you won't see a nice side of me. The leaders I've selected for the shell are people that I trust, that I know know their roles well, and that I know are dedicated. These are the people I've assigned roles. They will make sure things run as smooth as possible. If we see a thorn in the machinery, or a wheel that don't spin well, we will attempt to fix it. You were a thorn, and we wanted to either fix it, or replace it. My main puller is very skilled and good at it, if I may say so myself. If the pulling don't go well, I know that he will attempt to fix it. If he suicide pulls and someone messes it up, he will fix it. Its not fun to suicide pull, only to have someone screw it up and make it all in vain.
Yes, I admit, we can be a bit too harsh at times. Mainly because we don't (or atleast me, and I try to make my leaders avoid it too) like to point fingers at anyone to make them feel bad, and thus usually talk to the LS as a whole instead of a certain individual. Offcourse there are exceptions, like someone lotting on something they are not allowed to lot. Or someone constantly showing up late. However, in the later case we usually take it to tells first, which we did. However, you dug your own grave when you wanted to "justify" yourself in LS. Obviously, you're an old dog that don't learn from their misstakes as you decided to drag it on to qcdn.
I can assure you, that the moment you want to make an attempt of dragging my members or leaders through the dirt, I will do it tenfold back. Say whatever the hell you want about me, but do not involve my members or my leaders.
