Clan Owned Gear
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2019 11:49 pm
So, we had a convo on another thread and ended up drifting into this.
The idea of clan owned gear to me anyway, seems like BS dom clan logic.
The analogy I like to use is its kinda like working for a company, you put in all the time,effort n work.
Instead of getting payed they lend you money. Then if you ever quit your job, they try to take you to collections and have you charged w theft.
I personally think distribution establishes ownership.
You may have attended hundreds of bosses, as well as used DKP/AKP to bid on items essentially winning them twice, not even counting the ones you didn't bid on.
I guarantee nobody downloaded the game, hoping somebody would be kind enough to lend them gear, for the priviledge of helping the clan acquire more gear.
I know some have been chased around their servers for leaving clans, shunned labeled a thief ect ect ect.
This isnt a game ideology this is a player construct.
So curious on thoughts n experience on the issue, since every server is a bit different w a bit of a different approach.
Some ranging from free to play, to others well others well into the realms of complete totalitarianism.
The "clan owner gear" seem to be a topic that keep coming up when you talk to people.
