I'm Proud to say that My Syndicate falls into the later category...
We've fought our way from the wilderness of the Top 1500, to Top 250 under our own Hard Graft, Good Organisation & Steely Determination.
We've assembled a damn fine family of individuals, from all corners of the world, who work together, for the benefit of our Syndicate and who continually push us forward...
Since Last November, we've easily completed EPIC BOSS Daily Goals within 4-10 hours (last one took longer on final day, due to summoning issues) without any outside assistance.
We've bought 95 Bonuses ourselves (which includes making a few trades) and have felt no desire to go around 'cap in hand'; asking for handouts, which, should, by rights be earnt!
& during Raid Boss Events, we always get to at least Level 21/27 of ELITE under our own strength...
Twice, we've decided to go for Goal 25/27 and have called upon the Community for assistance in taking down that Single Level 100 RB. The 1st time we did this, was the last RB Event before the Health Increase and I think we had 4, possibly 5 players help us out BUT the vast majority of damage (+80%) was done In House and Our Leader went above & beyond the call of duty, dropping a ton of gold, to make this happen.
In the meantime, our Members have been OK, assisting other Syndicates, weaker & stronger to finish critical goals during the RB Events... We all believe in 'what goes around, comes around...'
We're not a big Syndicate, full of players with +20Mil Stats & I'll be honest, the 100 is beyond us, without the use of copious amounts of gold & a little assistance...
I'm 'Old School'; you want anything in life, you go out and work for it!!!
Far too many people expect things to be handed to them on a plate these days (in game & real life) & then, because they haven't had to work for it: they place no value or appreciation on these gifts whatsoever and just expect more!
Surely Syndicates should go into Raid Boss Events with a 'Game Plan' knowing what their actual abilities are and not expecting others to help them out against the 'Easier' Lvl RBs, unless it relates to a critical Game Reward, like Final Regular.
Yes, that's what we did, as we were growing, everytime we came across a Raid Boss we couldn't defeat; we farmed & came back bigger & stronger and moved through to the next Syndicate Goal & higher level bosses...
Keep Helping Them & They'll Never Stand on Their Own Two Feet!
But, hey, fair play to them...
if people want to feather their nest for them...
