Comment doesn't make sense to me, as it would be implying that R3druM is still relevant today? Never knew that guild, only heard people praise it because they reached 1K fort hours, which will never resonate with me. Only thing I know is Shinta became terrified of the arena once PC players rolled through and took up Graal dating full-time. I only became active in 2012 but I don't recall them winning anything or sitting on any leaderboard spots. Maybe they were some amazing spar guild before 2011? I don't know.

Accomplishments "in time" mean nothing (IMO). I don't care if you were the first player to win 100K spars. I don't care if your tower guild hit 1K hours in a week. It's impressive only because you spent the required time and were dedicated to do it, not necessarily because you are a skilled player who has proven that you're smarter or better than others at something. You could be a 1:2 sparrer that spars for 12 hours per day and beat a 2:1 sparrer who spars for 5 hours per day to 10K spar wins because you had more time available. Big deal. Anyone with the right amount of resources can realistically accomplish those things. So, if that's any of the allure to a guild or a guild's member(s) then I don't respect or care about that.
