I have finally found some time (at work ^^) to read the whole thread. It’s very interesting, especially the debate between Sygma and (sexy)Barre.
Both of you guys are right in my opinion.
- It feels good to achieve something by our own means and be one of the firsts doing it.
- However, I don’t see any problem answering questions about tactics few months after you’ve done your first kill.
In my opinion, something like 90% of AoC’s players will never see end game PVE raid content (more than the time it takes to wipe huh). So it’s a good thing to help people giving hints and answering their questions about this or that encounter. I don’t think Destiny’s (or any top raiding guild) renown will be harmed if you take a few minutes answering questions 3 or 4 months after you killed a boss. You will still be the ones who did it first
Long story short: Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction! (wow! little did I know I would use that phrase one day)
