Here is how I see it.
Some high-level playres who are very much in support of PvP
don't appreciate that Booster or any other one-man guild is getting
the Sup's, because that means they can't have them. They are saying
that booster "should" not be doing this, that is is "selfish" etc...etc...etc...
Well, you got some right, some wrong.. Infinity has nothing against pvp. Personally (Does not reflect the entire guild, I think) I love pvp. I've always PvPed when I got the chance and had a valid reason to. We might not appreciate Booster getting the mats, merely because we want them and we've got the firepower to get them. THere's nothing wrong with being a 1 man guild. You get to horde all the mats you get for
yourself only, but you can't get all your guildies together to fight for a supernode. We can. Thus, we get our guildies together, and fight for the supernode tooth and nail. (Aggro dragging not included, sold separately.) The downside is, we have to supply all our guildies with all the amps and stuff from getting those mats. Basically, we've got the power to fight for it because we're not 1-man guilds. But, we don't get to get
everything solely for ourselves.

members say that in PvP zones, they will kill anyone they want, because
"they can". They say, "it's a PvP zone, they devs made it like this for a reason, if you don't
wanna be killed, dont enter the PvP Zone. Its that easy.",
I've also heard members of their guilds say that they kill peeps in PvP areas cause "it's the
only thing to do at our levels." They do not care about anyone else but
themselves, is that not "selfish" like they are accusing booster".
Again, some right, some wrong. HOwever, some of your quotes, while maybe accurate, do not reflect the entire guild. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Brithlem would not drop anyone in PR without a reason. Some other members we have had in the past would go down into PR and just drop whomever just because they could, and they would say some of the things you have quoted.
As far as "the only thing to do at our levels".. that sort of makes sense. PvP is the only other thing to do in the game after you've leveled and ground out a bunch of stuff. So you can do various things, participate in various events, etc.. But grinding is grinding, and eventually you get bored of it..
The Booster selfish thing.. No, Booster is not selfish. If anyone is selfish, it's Infinity. We're selfish because we can be, and we can get the best stuff. Sure, sounds like I'm shooting myself in the foot, by saying we're selfish, but if oyu think about it, killing for the best mats is nothing but being selfish.

I've even brought up the argument that because you "can" do something, it doesn't
always mean you "should". These players have shot me down with statements
like I need to get off my high horse etc..etc...etc... (now i see some of them or their
guildmates using the same "should" arguments agains Booster.
Because you can drag 7 najabs on someone's packer, doesn't mean you should.
Because you can kill steal Madakoo, doesn't mean you should.
Because you can kill someone in PR, doesn't mean you should.
Aye, I agree. just because you can do soemthing, doesn't mean you should. Sure you can, but if you've got no valid reason, or even ANY reason at all, however petty, you look like an idiot.

To sum it up they told me:
"I'll play how I want, and if it bothers you, then get over it! I pay my monthly
fee the same as you!"
It appears to me that these players are all fine about doing what they want,
when they want, regardless of what other people think.
Now that someone is impeding on their game-play and how they like to play,
(i.e. taking the sup mats for a 1-man guild and selling them) they are all mad
and upset about it....
Well, I'm overjoyed to say this....
"Booster can play how he wants, and if it bothers you, then get over it! He
pays his monthly fee the same as you!"
(I am not saying that I agree with Booster's play style, I just think it is important to point out this observation.
In effect.. the ground rule is: I pay for it, I play how I want. That applies to
everyone who plays the game. Booster can play how he wants, you can play how you want, and I'll play how I want.
Just because Booster plays how he wants doesn't make me get all upset or annoyed about it..
All in all, I generally try not to cause people undue griefing, but because I'm part of Infinity, I will support my guild before I support other people.
