Shhhhhwwweeee.... the jealously!! I love how people on this server cry about things! Tolga's weapon has zero impact on your gameplay! Or anyone elses! It doesn't insta rez him or make him undefeatable! Hell half thr time you pk's come at someone...its 5 or 6 on one! But I don't hear you crying about that disadvantage!!....so much hypocrisy around here!!......I'd say more but it wasn't even worth this short response or anyone elses! Def not Adams time trying to explain it to you!....smfh!

That house is a donation tier reward..it is available to everyone. It isn't favouritism when you pay for it. If you were going to cry favouritism, I'd at least cry about the town hall the Trinsic guild has ownership over in Trinsic.

However, we reward loyalty and player ran establishments/RPing. Trinsic is a loyal RP guild and they have been given something fitting their RP, loyalty and contribution to the community. We also gave the guy who does weekly auctions a building in Serpent's Hold. If you would like the same thing, run some sort of reoccurring event for a few months and then talk to me.

Coming on the forums and crying corruption without asking anyone for a back story just makes you look like a fool.

Hey I have done 2 little giveaways lol

It is what it is. It's your server, you'll run it the way you want. I have no say so anyway.
But for what it is worth the vets can see something is fishy. Every successful server falls into this.

Maybe I'm wrong, who knows. But this isn't my first rodeo.
Ya, talking like that or about TRIN people will only get you banned here.

Oh bum, I was keeping an eye on that blocked off space outside Trinsic! Glad the space went to Trin guild, well deserved! :)

Now sort out the invisible / blocked housing space in Skara farms @Adam. Oh and don't forget to PM me before :p

Perhaps we need an FAQ entry about item bless deeds, how few there have been and how they came about (THROUGH OBVIOUS CORRUPTION ERHMAGERD).

Just because OSI had them that doesn't mean that we should have them too.
and personally I would rather have too much gold and donation coins on a server
than see exclusive item bless deeds around.

It is only exclusive in the fact that they had the money to buy it at the time and that it is a rare item. In the same vein, I could argue that your experience and mastery of UO pvp is an unfair and exclusive advantage. Not everyone has played this game for years (a time advantage on your part) and not everyone has the time to devote to enhancing their pvp skills. Maybe you have a better ping (location advantage) adding to this exclusivity. These are all mirrored in an argument for the exclusivity of the item bless deeds. They are only exclusive because people didn't have the luck, gold, donation coins or were not here at the time they were available.

As long as everyone had a chance at them and everything could be obtained with in-game gold, I am not sure what the issue is here. Arguing favoritism or exclusivity should be a moot point. The only thing you should be arguing is the items negative impact upon your game play. I would then pose to you, has this impacted your game play? The only person in this thread that could make such a case is the TC.

I could see if these bless deeds were a common thing, they would be a problem. As it stands, I haven't seen a blessed weapon in forever. So, it is probably safe to say this is the only guy currently active that has one. So, there is one guy running around with a blessed vanq. I am sure the chances are extremely slim that it will have more than a very passing impact upon your gameplay at UOF. We don't hand these things out like candy and I doubt there would be another for a few years.

Are you kidding? I can't even bank at Brit without about 20 kiddies calling me every homophobic slur under the sun.

It's curious how much a positive attitude, RP community can evoke so much hatred from the servers bottom dwellers.

I recommend Pop Tart and his buddies check out the Xbox live community. It's much more appropriate to the quality of their character.

I recommend you get your minions in check. By the looks of the screen shot above, they are too busy chasing me down to heal their "leader" lol.

It just makes it look real fishy Adam when this guild has a Guild house in the middle of trin, Also a random house outside of Trin, and now one of their members has a blessed top of the line spear... Look at it from a different stand point instead of how does it affect my gameplay. It does effect it greatly. I cant loot that badass wep. I dont have 2 giant houses given to me. Whether or not they were donated for with real life cash look at it from another stand point from others that dont have this luxury..

Last I have checked i have donated a 100$+ myself and I dont have a giant Mansion to put all my loots.

What's fishy? I gave explanations for both things you posted about which were backed up by other players, many of them that have nothing to do with the Trinsic guild. The item bless deed was from a raffle and the linked 18x18 is a donation tier reward.

The donations tiers are what they are and they have been here since the start of the shard. Trinsic was given the Trinsic town hall due to their support of the shard. Budcookie was given a large house in Serpent's Hold to hold auctions. I just publicly announced that if you were to hold a player ran event for several months, you to could have a house in town. There are specific rules that also go along with these houses, like they have to benefit the shard (Trinsic provides public amenities and bucookie provides an auction house). Sure, you can look at this as staff favouritism. However, it is staff favouritism that is available to ALL players. Put in the time and dedication and I will reward you with a house in town, it is that simple.

So being good at a game is exclusively a disavantage for others ? ...
Seriously time spent on a game does not always equal skills so i don't understand
your comparison and how you're trying to justify that its was a good concept to begin with.

Someone even offered 15 million for this guy spear. its quite the definition of P2W.

How far back did you have to go to find that one pic? One of those guys hasn't played in months.

I thought this was about shard corruption? Ohhhhh I see . It's just about you being butt hurt about being killed.

You've been verbally harassing Trin since first time we killed you in Khaldun like 4 months ago.

Although I do appreciate the several hundred thousand gold you've donated to us via the bounty system. You're probably our top contributor.

Since when did UO become a game where you get Handouts? Shouldnt this server be about earning your own crap? GMS/ADMINS should be solving problems not handing crap out to individuals you think deserve a pat on the back. Seems only the ROLE PLAYERS are getting these handouts. Where is the giant graveyard mansion for us PKERS that keep the fear rolling in the dungeons? As i see it, it is one sided.. Role Play away and keep giving handouts.

How is time spent playing a game not a luxury? Free time is a luxury and for some people is just as important as money. Your skill can very well be exclusive. Not everyone is equal and you may very well have physical attributes like better hand eye coordination that could increase your ability to pvp. How is this fair to people that don't have the same time or mental and physical potential to progress to your level?!?!!?!? I call T2W or G2W on you.

Maybe this is a poor analogy but I personally see some common threads between your statement that it is exclusive and my argument that claiming it is exclusive can also be applied to things that may very well be exclusive to you and people like you. Can the luxuries of time and ability also not be exclusive?

Anyways, I guess you missed where I specifically said that the item bless deeds were obtainable through in-game means, thus not being P2W. I just want to make sure, did you see this <----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- explanation this time? ALL DEEDS WERE OBTAINABLE THROUGH IN-GAME MEANS. DONATION COINS CAN BE BOUGHT WITH GOLD, THUS BYPASSING A P2W MECHANIC. THERE WAS ALSO A GOLD RAFFLE FOR AN ITEM BLESS DEED.
