Top raiding guilds will receive free lifetime subscription to all it's Main Tanks, Off Tanks and Raid Healers.

Hey what about us DPS people who kill stuff for the tanks and healers =(

Does 5th on Alliance side get anything? =P Only Illidari Council and Illidan seperates the top 5.

EDIT 1: Fancy meeting a fellow Nagrand-er =)

I have no idea what you guys are trying to imply with the tank/healer special treatment, but whoever came up with that idea should be shot in the head. There's absolutely no reason that kind of divide should exist. Tanks and healers are hardly the delicate, oh-god-I-can't-farm-and-my-raiding-costs-are-higher-because-I-pot flowers they used to be. Get rid of that restriction.

And no, I'm not DPS. I main tank for Tsunami.

thats very vague hmm.gif ... by top 2-3 pages means:
a) Battlegroup?
b) or Realm?

coz if you compare ranking/rating in the last team in either of the third page:
a) Last team(on page3) in Battlegroup are about rank 59, rated 2200-ish
b) Last team(on page3) in realm are about rank 1280, rated 1890-ish
see the great gap in ranking...

p.s. does anyone know any malaysians team/player do arena?(with malaysia line or with 450~500-ish latency... i mean) & link please

Hi, the reason why we sponsor the tanks and healers are because they are most crucial to the survival of a boss attempt.

A tank with Gamepath will generate more threat and healers with Gamepath will be able to heal more responsively and thus it ensures better overall survival of the whole raid.

I would like to sponsor the whole raid however this is not quite possible due to the massive number of players that will be taking up my sponsorship therefore this is the best workable option I have at this moment.

Added on October 3, 2008, 1:03 amHi sorry for the confusion.

What I meant was if your team appears on the 1st or 2nd page of either the 2v2,3v3 or 5v5 arena ladder for your battlegroup you are eligible for sponsorship.

Not having enough resources is a valid reason.

However as a service you should know your target market, in the sense that at the highest levels of progression it has very very little to do with just the tank and healers any more. If your priests don't dispel on Felmyst, you wipe. If your DPS can't manage conflagarate on Twin Eredar, you wipe. If a mage is so much as one second late in spellstealing a buff in M'uru, I become charred bear kabob from taking a bunch of fireballs.

Also, I don't buy generating more threat with a lower ping. Not in the least. tongue.gif

Edit: An alternative I'd like to suggest would be officers, rather than tanks and healers. People who have a higher attendance percentage would likely give the most benefit to a raid force given limited spots for sponsorship.

Hi Gamepath is not bannable offence otherwise a lot of users would be banned already.


Added on October 4, 2008, 12:56 amWhat you say is true. I am from Elementium I know where you are coming from.
Lower ping = more threat because your GCD refresh and can be activated faster. It is tested and proven.

Again everything is important but the tanks and healers come first most of the time.

This is not entirely true. There's no black and white statement from blizzard that says tunneling services are fine.

You can go to the customer support section and see tonnes of threads about these services being ignored.

And of course there are cases where people had been banned.

I am proud to announce that LoTH is now sponsored by Gamepath.

Many of our top raiders, including myself, use Gamepath already. Now we get to use it for free which is a nice nice bonus.

I can confirm, that WoW, for me and many of my Malaysian/Phil/Indonesian raiders at least, would be unplayable without Gamepath.

LoTH is a 4/6 Sunwell guild, one of the top Malaysian PvE guilds (senior officers and raiders are all Malaysian), and has the unique distinction of having 2 fully independent raid groups that are among the Top 5 raid grps on Thaurissan.

Well, yeah. Don't get me wrong - my previous post came up a little antagonistic, and for that, I apologize.

It's awesome that Gamepath is stepping up and offering sponsorship to help bolster the local community (Even if I disagree about the DPS vs tank/healer split). It's awesome that there are Malaysian guilds progressing through Sunwell. Just keep the facts straight, is all I'm saying. A yes means yes, a no means no, etc.

JFYI, not just Nagrand - most of the PvExile forefront guilds jumped at the chance to get onto Thaurissan. It was pretty much a do-or-die deal when you think about the long term repercussions of being stuck on a PvE server with a dwindling recruitment pool.


Added on October 6, 2008, 11:45 pmAlso, as to SSH tunneling, how effective it is, the risks, etc, all I have to say is - on one hand, the PvE aspect of the game is playable without, all the way up to and through Kil'jaeden. There isn't anything in the game PvE-wise that is physically impossible to pull through with a 500-600ms ping barring original Reliquary of Souls which had a combination of abilities that required an interrupt in ~0.3 secs.

On the other hand, where there are tunneling/proxy services that are affordable and reliable, you'd be crazy -not- to subscribe to one. The sole reason I'm not jumping all over the opportunity for free sponsorship right now would be I'm pretty satisfied with my current private SSH I'm sharing with a bunch of friends.

It's not just a question of average ping. SSH tunnels are very, very noticably less spiky. A 400ms on an SSH on a bad day means you'll be constantly getting 400ms. Compare this to without - if the in-game latency meter is showing 400ms, chances are you get a lot of little spikes where responsiveness can jump to twice as high as the displayed value. This is unfortunately a side effect of the default connection protocols that WoW uses, as well as non-optimal routing across the ocean. SSH on normal occasions will drop your ping to 220-280ms, where 220 is pretty much almost as low as physically possible for a round trip of information across the globe.

Regarding getting account actioned, don't do anything stupid (like rapidly getting on and off the proxy while levelling, for example, sup powerlevelling flag triggers), and you won't get banned. It's just that simple. I hate to be brutally honest, but Asians have a tendency to do a -lot- of stupid things online, and getting banned due to appearing on a proxy IP is probably one of the lowest down on the list of reasons people around here get banned. Treat your account like how you treat your genitals, and things will be fine.

Apologies, i meant Horde side. Out of the top 5 raids horde side (and this includes the old Unholy and Disposed when they were still raiding, LoTH had 2 raids in the top 5).

Currently, Horde side, there are only 2 SWP guilds remaining. LoTH and Clique. And we've both been here since the server opened, more or less. As far as i know, the only guild to get KJ on Thau that wasnt a xfer guild is Clique. Unholy and Disposed (both native to Thau too), quit at Muru the Guildkiller. Alliance had no serious raiding culture t6 wise prior to the xfers opening up.

Clique recently got KJ. We're still working on MuRu. Wish us luck. smile.gif

Actually, Nagrand has more than enough people to recruit at their level. As we speak, we have probably 5-6 guilds working on Illidan. It's just that it's a free transfer, so heck why not?
