Sorry to hear you're leaving us Insight. You're one of the better players that I've played with and it's been awesome chatting it up together. I know how you feel about my mob claiming percentage and it's understandable, which was part of the reason why I have pushed so hard to have all the endgame shells work together and distribute who gets which NMs evenly (so we wouldn't have to compete) because honestly, who wants to sit around for hours trying to get claims when we're such a small playerbase? We could just share claims and even share loot tables when we rot on stuff we don't need. When I started here back in December and found out the server was just 40 minutes up the road, I was happy I'd never have to deal with lag/the disadvantage of lower claim percentages. I also saw it as a wonderful opportunity to spark harmony between the shells and bring people together. It worked with Nidhogg at least and I was hoping for more HNMs to do that with but it just wasn't in the cards for reasons outside of my control. I'm only one person unfortunately
With that said, it's a shame several great people from Alpha are quitting the game. I love surrounding myself in-game with other players who know their shit and play at a high level/have high standards, and seeing these players slowly leaving is upsetting. Saw it alot in retail and it never gets better. Here's to hoping you change your mind and return at some point.
