As of 11am EST today the monks in Thunderhead Keep went on strike. While I am not sure how long it will last or what the demands are, it sure is funny. Come check it out.

Hmm, it's like the Royal Mail strikes in England all over again. I wonder if it's in response to this forum at all. Have they made their demands yet?

This is funny. Now if they can get Menhlo and Lina on strike too, it will be even better.

I could make out two demands:
- People should show them more respect
- Warriors shouldn't frenzy themselves to death

I don't venture into Thunderhead Keep, with my monk, unless I am there to help guildies.

Someone should take screenshots, I'd love to see this, but I am at work.

Mehnlo and Lina are SCABS. I saw them cross the picket line! Now I'm gonna follow them home from work and put a brick through their window.

Human monks are completely unnecessary in Thunderhead Keep.

Rofl, i just went there, and wow fun. I don't see the point of strikes, for they'll always be people not striking. But this is still interesting, amd i imagine strikes for tanks, nukers, SS/mm, and oh the humanity.

Yes, but that still doesn't stop:

1. PUGs wailing endlessly about "GLF THIRD MONK THEN WE GO!"
2. Monks being treated like crap when:
a. Someone dies
b. Someone deliberately goes against the party strategy during the siege and dies
c. Someone aggros more than they should have and dies

There's a bit of a monk shortage these days, always has been. Most competent healers are in guilds already and have no reason to go to THK and other late game missions unless they're with guildies, and then they've got full groups anyhow.

Funny stuff.

Monk shortage?

Let's see.. If there were an equal amount of players playing every single proffesion, that would mean 1 1/3 out of 8 players are Monk. If you want your group of 8 people to have 3 Monks among them, you sure are asking alot!

LOL - If I were one of the two monks (or anyone else) already in that group, I'd be out of it faster than you can say "What kind of crappy team needs three monks???"

this strike started around 8:00 AM GMT-5
then we formed a 8 monks team and actually beat the mission
note that most of us have already completed the game, we did that run for fun.
here are 3 ss from the cut scene after our victory

I think there needs to be some thread consolidation.
