    Alright, I'll explain how VBC is different from HBC.

     

    1. It's a private company meaning, as of now, only a select few investors can invest.

    2. VBC does bonds and bond related derivatives. There's no ETF like last time.

    3. I've revamped the Legal section to give investors a protection from bankruptcy of the company.

    4. This is not a ponzi scheme (And I get this feeling that those who claim it is don't really know what a ponzi scheme is) because I'm offering certain amount of bonds per set time period. Ponzi scheme would require me to accept as much money as I can so I can keep the cycle going.

    5. You SERIOUSLY need to understand the concept of Risk and Return. While I implicitly guarantee that my AAA bonds are risk-free, I'm not selling US treasury securities. As mentioned in the legal section, all financial products carry a degree of default risk (Read the credit rating for more information on default risk).

    6. READ THIS: Numerous options can be added to your financial asset(s). I've added the customization feature to suit all investors' needs. The options include but are not limited to, 1. Collaterals, 2. Custom interest rates and many more.

     

    LOL did you just go to investopiedia and copy and paste all the big words you can find.

    I warned everyone last time and I'll re-warn the new people this time. The Ebon Hawk and SWTOR in general does not have the type of economy to support this type of thing like other mmos. The only way to make it work is to run it like a ponzi scheme which is how it was ran last time and people got ripped off. Take it from someone who has made close to 300 million in this game, this type of thing is not sustainable with the current swtor economy. Don't get ripped off folks.

    I think anyone that wants to get taken seriously and join a guild with high end PvP needs to put in time on the toon they want to be considered on. If you have 6 alts in various levels of gear and valor ranks its going to be very hard for you to get taken seriously regardless of your skill. When you're a complete stranger approaching a top PvP guild you'll be perceived as a certain type of player based on a number of factors.

     

    That starts with having the best gear that available to you and properly augment BIS.

    Why? Because PvP is not all about skill, sometimes raw power is needed. Having a gear advantage is the easiest way to achieve a imbalance. Exploiting imbalances wins games.

     

    Then once you cross that first hurdle you need valor. Valor is important because it shows you have spent time grinding on that character in warzones and have a good idea what to do with your class in all sorts of sticky situations. If you are not at least 85+ by this time on at least one character you will have a hard time getting noticed by pvp guilds because of the fear you will get exploited for your unfamiliarity on that class/spec.

     

    By the time you've accomplished these 2 things you will find yourself getting invited to groups and know other pvpers around.

    I treated your opinion as what it was. Your bashing of a raid that you can't seem to complete. Props for the harry potter reference though.

     

     

    Clearing all the way to terror tells me that you couldn't beat him. And bashing other guilds who do what you can't doesn't help your case much. I mean "wrath of the foreskin", seriously? This is exactly why no one listens to your delusional ranting.

     

    I didn't mean for it to be a bash of your guild or any others 2.0 accomplishments. I think its great people are still pushing content hard and representing our server globally. You were the one who came in this thread and said:

     

    Not to detract from <AM> and <Aisthesis>, but clearing TfB HM is well within these guild's abilities, especially given the gear they should have by now. We respect these guilds, but are somewhat perplexed as to why they haven't bothered to complete the instance yet.

     

    and put up a list of guilds (2) you thought were the only serious imp side guilds and then started demanding ranking positions of guilds based on what they have and haven't cleared which fit neatly around the same exact content your guild has cleared. Shocker!

     

    This is exactly why no one listens to your delusional ranting.

     

    You're listening right now by reading this so let me tell you a few more things while I'm taking you to school. You tried so hard pre 2.0 to do things but could never out do empire or wrath or nemesis or underworld alliance. How do I know you tried so hard? I was heavily recruited by sidewinder's raid team (your highest progression raid team?) at one point and while I love playing with him and hes an amazing guy I couldn't be persuaded away from empire.

     

    I think most people have taken offense that you got a faction first for the first time in guild history and come on the forums and talk smack about other guilds like you've been knocking out server firsts for the past 12 months. So in conclusion if you come to the forums waving your epeen expect someone with a bigger one to come by and smack you upside the head with theirs. You can keep coming at me I'll go all day, but I hope for the sake of my friends in your guild like nitlly and snickle and others you move along and let this thread return to what it was created for.

    Since you haven't actually cleared HM TfB completely, I find it difficult to place much value in your opinions on its difficulty. I encourage you to complete the instance fully before bashing it. The fact that so few guilds seem to be able to clear HM TfB, ignoring excuses, suggests that it may be more "progression" then some claim it is. Having cleared both TfB and S&V fully, I honestly don't see much increase in difficulty going from TfB to S&V. Both are relatively easy instances with somewhat challenging final fights.

     

    See slightly outdated but relevant to my point quote below:

     

    Lol. Just because you are raiding now and guilds like empire and nemesis who would normally be competing with wrath (of the foreskin) for server and world firsts aren't raiding anymore doesn't make you the new server authority on progression. Where were you when nemesis and empire were racing to clear TFB50 the first Sunday it came out for the server first, that was the progression race for TFB, it is now over. Empire went in there after having not done it in 4-5 months and cleared all the way to the terror that should tell you everything you need to know about its difficulty. The fact that so few guilds clear it, is because so few guilds care anymore (on this server) and top tier imperial guilds have quit progression raiding to be more causal allowing other middle tier guilds such as <CI> a chance to fill the void. so don't let your ego get ahead of itself and remember you are where you are on progression because others have stopped trying.

    I'll go ahead and speak for the rest of <CI>. We personally believe that both HM TfB and S&V should be considered when ranking in terms of progression. Each op provides unique challenges and checks to the group members, and they drop the same tier of gear. For these reasons, we as a guild consider them essentially equal as raids on a whole. We don't believe that skipping over the most difficult boss in TfB to rush S&V is a valid path of progression, and believe that guilds skipping TfB HM should be penalized in the rankings for incompleteness.

     

    55TFB doesn't introduce any new mechanics until you get to the terror and even those are very minor the only change is everyone's gear got *******r for a week or two. There was nothing unique about it compared to TFB 50. When I was still in empire we cleared all the way to terror our first time in there the second week of the 2.0. You would probably be hard pressed to find any serious raiding guilds calling it "progression." The current system of ranking guilds based on SV progression should be the standard.

    Hey folks,

     

    The best thing you could do if you want to host a tourney is to look at Nadir's link above and talk to her. In my view, it was the most successful tournament on TEH, and I've participated in all but one.

     

    As Hibar mentioned, I used to host Friday Fight Club on TEH. It was informal, relaxed and had great participation on a weekly basis. I've been on hiatus from the game, but am returning (albeit in a more casual capacity). I've been planning to start it back up again now that folks have had time to settle into 55 and gear up a bit. I'll be posting an announcement on our forums soon. You're welcome to attend.

     

    A weekly tournament would be a difficult thing to organize. A lot of work goes into them, and there's a lot of standing around waiting. That's ok for a once-a-month event, but probably too much for once a week. I would encourage you to host a 1v1 tourney to get your feet wet. They're easier to manage than 2v2+.

     

    As a community we've settled on a solid set of rules for tournaments. Nadir is probably the best person to talk to about them. Her tourney was like clockwork, and everyone had a ball. You'll need to think about things like healer vs. healer matches (they tend to go on for a very long time), disconnects, health and adrenal useage, location, etc. [My personal opinion on rules is: less is more. Anything you can do in a WZ is kosher. No disconnect do-overs. Etc. Many would disagree, so you'll have to suss this out on your own.]

     

    Anyway, I wish you luck in organizing something for our server. Without a doubt many of the most fun, memorable and interesting moments I've experienced in SWTOR has been during tournaments. We've had many on TEH, and I hope to see more in the near future!

     

    As always, <Hex> will volunteer our TS3 server for any server-wide, PVP-related events.

     

    I quit playing because you stopped friday night fight club. I hope youre happy.
