Please bring back the classic experience in this game. Class R has decided to blow up their rotation and the spirit behind this whole reform of raid rules was to allow everyone to see content that didn't want to go full on neckbeard. BDA and Taken are clearly ready to take their shot at everything outside of VP, so why do we need to keep these insane rules in effect?
Its FFA in C, FFA in FFA, and FFA in R. Why are we still dealing with these ridiculous raid rules. Keep 2 of em in: No more than 2 people past zone when a mob spawns and no camping at raid targets.
This atrocity can go on no longer!

Class R did become the "protect Chest and pals from TMO/IB" tier.
True FFA would get them attempting harder targets with their unused VP keys. Would be good for the real top end of raiding and inspire a more competitive raid scene.

Why would detoxx be loosing anything on his non-exsistant asgard toons. If he wants to fool around and help us, he just plain shows up as is. He wouldn't need shit from us, as his own guild would be able to gear him much better.
Broken record is broken. BDA has been shitting on asgard since day one, it gets very old. There is no conspiracy. BDA more likely has more TMO guys than asgard ever would. Anyone remember when BDA had to dismantle to shake out all the TMO toons?
I agree on removing this tier crap, it is FFA everywhere Taken and BDA have gotten too fat on the R class loots, they use sheer numbers to squish smaller R guilds. Someone needs to smack a bitch.

Sounds like you didn't enjoy watching BDA kill VS tonight. My experiences with <Asgard> have been generally negative, ranging from failed attempt to steal king camp in seb to raging on random noobs in mistmoore. I also had to downgrade to an Insignia Protector because of your guild. Fuck you guys.

Literally the second raid the guild asgard ever done in its existence, we have a scrappy team of maybe 20 people tops in our guild at this time, your guild has been fucking with us. I distinctly remember us being up in hate doing our thing getting gear, your guild ports up a complete disregard for what we were doing in the zone and starts pulling mobs through our camp in maestro room. Your guild said that we could stay around and have your rot loot if we wanted to.
That is the kind of fucking respect we have always gotten from BDA.
I remember the era that TMO got like 95% of everything worth killing. Impact on me minimal. I had more fucking problems with Flawless Victory deliberately shitting up everything asgard as doing at the time.
What does it matter if the person killing the mob is TMO or BDA or Taken. Being shit upon is still being shit upon. It's long overdue for BDA and Taken to move up and remove this farce that only seems to protect BDA and Taken

Actually, everything FFA with 5 weeks lockout would work.
No more complicated rules, just no lockout in VP.
This would also work in Velious: no lockout in ST, everything else 5 weeks lockout.
The Class R and C playstyle would never collide. Current class R guilds would not go after targets unless the neckbeards were on lockout.
If TMO and IB still insist on ripping each other's throat they could even share a lockout.
No more trying to *promote* guilds from R to C, transition is natural.
The server would be civilized, no more 1 or 2 guilds monopolizing the content.
You could even remove the lockout on a target if it has been up for 6 hours, to make sure no mob stays up for a week or more.

Ya, I dont think the raid change was ever intended to cause a rotation. The rotation happened because BDA's desire for loot is eclipsed only by its desire to play the Martyr.

There have been so many suggestions that make sense, but things really don't have to make sense on a free-to-play box where the GMs are very sick of the childlike behavior of the guilds/players and very likely tweaking spawn times to play God and spite us (can't really blame them)
Batphones - not classic
Vent - not classic
5 level 60 alts parked all over Norrath - not classic
16 hour spawn variance with completely ludicrous FTE protocol - not classic
Guild websites with elaborate DKP calculation - not classic
Multiple server repops per week - Classic
Having the whole server race for any mob they want multiple times a week makes a little too much sense, so instead we have to resort to Chestquest

Merging would be pointless since 90% of blue doesn't want to play red and the 10% who do are already in Holo. It'd save them more work just shutting down blue altogether. But then red players wouldn't have anywhere to go to recruit new players. So, pretty much lose/lose.

Don't forget that every raiding guild on blue would annihilate Holo in PvP and PvE. I don't think a server merge would go well for those guys at all.
Now you wanna talk about standing in line for welfare pixels. On red, the one raiding guild knows exactly when a mob spawns and since there is no competition whatsoever, they show up at whatever time and crank that loot vending machine.

so try option 2. figure out how to make raid situations PVP while the rest of blue stays pve
I doubt raid rule changes are either necessary or likely.
It helps if R guilds show up to contest mobs instead of just hoping for some sort of staff intervention/solution. I just watched Taken get an uncontested Sev kill at noon in the last hour of his(her?) window.
Killing a dragon that requires like 10 people at noon on a wednesday is hardly neckbeard status.

ChestQuest. Please, tell me more.
The raid classes were formed to stop the multi-year monopoly of one guild of all raid content by poopsocking every single target during the duration of every single spawn window and rapidly mobilizing a zerg force to take it down.
The raid class establishment caused the near complete dissolution of TMO - leadership was booed off the server by peons wielding torches and pitchforks and have yet to return (likely all playing anonymous alts right now) Much of TMO went to IB - in fact when IB came back to P99 around April 2013 they kicked it off with a nice little "tribute" to TMO in the form of a clandestine late-night item swap in the jungles of Trakanon's Teeth.
Class C and Class R are formed in the beginning of 2014 - Class C has sole access to VP (all those old TMO VP keys worked out real nice for IB - so really TMO and TMO have sole access to VP)
Class R gets the other mobs on a restricted basis that eventually becomes rotational. Many guilds the size of TMO and IB do not join class C because they do not have VP keys and they do not have level 60 toons.
These terms were agreed upon after thousands of manhours of nerd diplomacy.
Chestquest brings us right back to the very problem we tried to solve in the first place, except now you don't even need an army of level 60 toons or access to VP.
Just bitch and moan that you're entitled to more mobs because your guild is bigger (i.e. will recruit any odd nub off the street and have 0 expectations of them to reach level 60 or have any remote idea of how to play EQ) In the process, you completely throw away the hours of negotiation in which ~all~ guilds were involved.
You also bring the server back to where it was before the start of the raid classes. That's okay though, because your competition has been removed at this point. Instead you want to "compete" with guilds that never had any expectation of having to "compete" in the first place. The only reason they were formed is because of the raid class system.
Chestquest - the game where you run a guild like Wal*Mart

well fatty, you are actually wrong about sev. any random guild could field 10 players to kill sev, even doljinolrlindumbs.
an actual challenge might be 10 to kill trakanon or gore. sounds like the next arena event....
INC TANGENT:
2 group challenge, how many dragons can your two groups kill in an hour starting from easiest to hardest.
naggy/ragefire/vox/nexona/drushk/hoshkar
rules: 1 hour timer starts
you can then start buffing
30 seconds later naggy spawns on the pad
your guild can call for the next dragon to spawn anytime you want with a designated shout.
the only clickies allowed would be jboots, shrunken goblin skull earring, amulet of necropotence, guise, ect for clicky trash buffs; no other clickies that affect gameplay in any other way would be allowed.
custom titles for winners - "the dragon slayer" or whatever

Since TMO tried to peel like half our members a few months back there is very little filial sentiment on Asgard's side. They spent 2 weeks sending tells like, "Asgard's about to fold man, we have 2 or 3 of your officers joining us soon, get your app in now" to a bunch of our members. This is both pathetic and explains a lot of how they end up with a bad reputation. Not exactly selective, just getting whoever they can get to jump ship. All they ended up with was a wizard that I can remember. Think there is a reason people left and formed another guild maybe?

TMO always needs to have a satellite guild (asgard atm), so they can replace TMO members or app who left (cause joining a zerg guild who lost almost all targets is useless) and pump slowly asgard members (some are tmo lootwhore alt).

Detoxx was a guild officer with asgard, that ended when he joined tmo. I'd like to refer that era that he was a member of as Asgard 1.0
The extent to our connections to tmo is, that about a dozen members from the asgard 1.0 days ended up into tmo. Some of those people weren't quite up to task at that pace, and bounced back into asgard. Others joined tmo never to be seen by anyone again. Those who relay made it in tmo (detoxx, butcch), made strong bonds back in the asgard 1.0 days and still feel strong loyalties to those they left behind, so sometimes they show up.
Pint doesn't have a tmo toon, he has alot of toons, but no tmo toon. Legit it might be nice to be a tmo alt guild, maybe we would get some free VP loots or some secret spawn timer intel. But we don't..and aren't

I doubt raid rule changes are either necessary or likely.
It helps if R guilds show up to contest mobs instead of just hoping for some sort of staff intervention/solution. I just watched Taken get an uncontested Sev kill at noon in the last hour of his(her?) window.
Killing a dragon that requires like 10 people at noon on a wednesday is hardly neckbeard status.
Grats Taken on some free green scales.

It's almost like BDA and Taken are Class C guilds. Oppressing the smaller guilds like they claimed other guilds did when they couldn't compete with them. Except this is worse...There is a Class C and FFA for guilds that want to compete that way. Feel bad for guilds like Europa and Azure Guard.

I don't think that was what I said, but the class system was put in place in part to remove this element from our (Class R) game so its a shame to see it reintroduced.
Raiding Alliance is a great idea, but still don't change the fact that we'd need to have 25 people neckbeard for 16 hrs (400 man hours? crazy!) and that's simply not something any of us are willing to.
We have put a lot of work into raiding over the last year, but always within reason, and we've been able to assist each other when we got the spawns at 4am - reasonable amount of dedication without demanding that people give up their wife/work factions.
So grats to Taken and BDA for being able to ask that of their members - I play EQ for recreation, not as a job, and I am not going to ask any of our members to put that kind of time into it so we can roll a dice on FTE. I thought neither of the Class R guilds was willing to do that, and that was the whole reason for the class based system, but we found recently that this wasn't the case, and that is why we are now in this FFA situation where it will look like Taken and BDA are getting mobs for free - a situation they have orchestrated knowing that this was what would most likely happen.
Unfortunately as things are right now, I don't really see that changing drastically unless a new guild shows up with that kind of intent for "competition" in Class R.

The qualifier was that the guilds would be forced to share a slot on all mobs, and at all times of the day, removing the opportunity to act individually as a guild in the parts of the day that was reasonable, and helping out each other when that was the reasonable solution.
The demand for the rotation to stay in tact was that a guild had to use the same tools to beat Gorenaire as to beat Maestro (ally on one ally on all), and most of us didn't think that was reasonable.
On top of that, there was also a tier system where consecutive terrible spawn times on the same mob (again, talking about what we want to demand from our members in terms of getting out of bed in the middle of the night) would complete remove access to not only said mob but to a whole host of mobs that was put in the same "tier". As an example you had to be able to kill CT within 60 minutes any time of the day to still have access to mobs like Sev and Fay, and you had to be able to do the same with Gorenaire to have access to VS etc.
I don't really want to argue about what is right or wrong about the proposal here, as it was already done in FAP and at length in other parts of this forum, but I think its important that everyone has a good understanding of what the proposals meant and then they can make up their own mind.
We are where we are now because a majority of the guilds didn't want to submit their members to the proposed system and the massive changes in the way we operated in the Class R environment, and when the changes couldn't be forced through, a number of guilds choose to suspend/end the rotation because in their eyes FFA was better than the current system.
I hope that is a fair representation of what happened.
Currently there are no real negotiations going on around the rotation, since the parties are to far apart in what they are willing to ask from their members (which is why we are seeing Taken getting a "free" Sev), and how they want to operate as entities both individually and in alliances.

25 people? That's insane. Trakanon is the only mob you absolutely need more than the Cothers/FTErs on for (which is 2-4 people), and that's because you need people on to start cothing quickly if there is competition.
Obviously you need people logged out where they should be and be ready to log in either from a vent command (play alts, or some other game, or just watch netflix on your computer, whatever) or have some sort of text messaging service setup so you can batphone.
But No one but the trackers/cothers need to poopsock. I think Taken gives DKP for poopsocking but BDA definitely doesn't require it - some people may still do it and shoot the shit in vent but no one is forcing them.

Seems like when the rotation was active, everyone was bitching that it just gave out free pixels to people who didn't "deserve" them. Class C called for an end to the rotation.
Now the rotation is dead (comatose?) and all the complaints seem to be that those same guilds getting shit for getting "free" pixels are now not getting the pixels they "should".
I disliked the rotation cause it wasn't fun. Not much excitement in slowly assembling a force for a mob you know you have 3 plus hours to kill.

Set up a rotation where each active member of a guild counts for one slot.
/random it to set order
Why should a guild of 100 people (for example) have the same allotment of free pixels as a guild of 40? They would have to split a set number of pixels among more members, meaning their pixel ratio would be less, creating an "unfair" situation.
TL;DR who gives a shit, they're kunark mobs, you've killed them dozens (hundreds?) of times, if you get a kill, great, if not, did that really ruin your life? Or your enjoyment of the game?

Is this supposed to be about BDA? Because it's not accurate at all and in fact it's really funny that someone who's not in our guild is speaking so authoritatively on what it's like to be in our guild and is so far from being correct.
I can tell you the one, single, solitary piece of loot each of our officers has gotten (if any) in the last two years, because it's that easy to keep track of because it's so rare that one of our officers still has an upgrade that they need to make (it's almost always one of the big epic pieces- Inny eye, bard guts, etc.) Chest hasn't gotten a single thing that I can think of. Alts get rots. There is no "inner circle" unless you're talking about "people who raid the most" and yes, as a matter of fact, people who raid the most do get more loot for a while, because they earned it, and then they plateau and don't get any loot for a long fucking time because they don't need it.

BDA had maybe 10 people logged in at KC (about the same number as the Asgard loitering there, actually) when VS popped. After pop was announced through vent/text, the others logged in.
The number of people logged in was meaningless though, because the trackers/FTErs we had were more prepared then Asgard's. BDA could have had just their 2 trackers and 2 FTErs logged in and still won when Asgard is just tracking with an FD shadowknight.

Its funny because really these are the people that fill out the numbers in order to make it possible, and they are the ones being exploited.
Again, Wal*Mart
Odd, cause in that situation you think the loot hungry people would do all the work (tracking). I did the tracking for VS, having already got VS pants and my leafblower.
I put in the work with no expectation of pixels.
If things are as you say, then I would have let the 'scrubs' do all the work, while I just collected the rewards.

Believe whatever propaganda you want - at the end of the day a year-long arrangement was hijacked and derailed by a few manbabies kicking and screaming. The new guilds of R were created without even having an expectation of poopsock. They were never designed to "compete"
So what exactly were you going to do when Velious releases and this whole system goes away?

Adapt or die. Darwinism.
Also, just burn the class system to the ground and see how much loot you get then competing against TMO and IB, who for reasons I don't understand still kill Fay, Maestro, and other mobs you would think they do not have a need for.
In class R, there are lockouts. Ergo, if you think BDA and Taken are just gonna zerg down any mob, muster your force for the mob when BDA and Taken are locked out.
That would be a 1/3 shot at R targets, higher than the 1/10 the rotation gave you. You could fail two times and still get a higher percentage of mobs then the rotation gave you (1/9 vs 1/10).

BDA had maybe 10 people logged in at KC (about the same number as the Asgard loitering there, actually) when VS popped. After pop was announced through vent/text, the others logged in.
The number of people logged in was meaningless though, because the trackers/FTErs we had were more prepared then Asgard's. BDA could have had just their 2 trackers and 2 FTErs logged in and still won when Asgard is just tracking with an FD shadowknight.
That simply is not true. I logged in maybe 10 minutes before the pop to do a /who and I saw way more BDA than 10. Also we were not going to do a COTH race because we knew that at that time of night our members were getting tired and did not want to sit and stair at their computer screens to win a COTH race. Instead we hoped that you would COTH race it and fail. You did not, you beat the monster VS and got some sweet loots.
On a positive note Neither guild trained each other for this attempt. I was happily surprised to see that.

I agree, one thing that is hammered into your head during FFA stuff is not to train.
But like I said, it didn't matter how many BDA were sitting logged in for this case. Same can be said for most of the encounters in Kunark/Classic (outside of Trakanon) - as long as your guild can respond to a text message in a reasonable time. All that matters is getting the FTE, which takes only poopsock commitments of a few people.

No one in BDA feels like anyone in the guild are nubs or scrubs. There is no second class or caste of players.
Also, not sure where the idea of BDA having a zerg or army. Yes there are (were, all characters who weren't active were mostly purged recently) a lot of characters in BDA if you look at the guild database - but the majority are people who are inactive or play rarely. BDA doesn't boot people for being inactive, we have people who come back after a year of absence all the time.
On average, I'd say we have 30 people for most encounters. On sim repops we might get up to 50 because it's exciting.

If you consider work as a unit of time/effort. Or if you consider that the tracking leads to the engage...
And no officers got loot on that VS. No 'inner-circle' did either. 4/5 drop pieces went to people I had never heard of before, so grats them.

Don't forget that every raiding guild on blue would annihilate Holo in PvP and PvE. I don't think a server merge would go well for those guys at all.
Now you wanna talk about standing in line for welfare pixels. On red, the one raiding guild knows exactly when a mob spawns and since there is no competition whatsoever, they show up at whatever time and crank that loot vending machine.
I would LOVE a blue guild copy to prove this right or wrong.
My honest vote is it'd be a better fight than some people like to admit but I see any of the blue guilds going down like dominos in pvp if it was for a week or two every time.
Over a couple months though? I could see your point after they got to adjust.
The real question is, if a blue guild was forced to copy and got stomped for a few weeks... would we or wouldn't we have them in droves on our door step jumping ship asking to join?

I'm pretty sure Holo would take the crown on PvP. But, no guild across either server can out mobilize TMO and IB, especially if we worked together. VP would be cleared and we'd begone before PvP could even happen.

numba 2. is that well frankly BDA and Taken represent too much of a threat to the class-c luxury lifestyle. with bda/taken aloliance coming in and petitionquesting their way into VP pixels TMo would have to cut down on their guild meetups and holiday vacations. this simply cannot be allowed nor can they afford to lose dental for their members

Grey boots would be sexy but in the end they are a small stat upgrade. The Robe of the Azure Sky has great stats but I've always hated the look. The Blood Orchid Katana is kinda sweet, but pretty replaceable by 100p sow potions.

Please bring back the classic experience in this game. Class R has decided to blow up their rotation and the spirit behind this whole reform of raid rules was to allow everyone to see content that didn't want to go full on neckbeard. BDA and Taken are clearly ready to take their shot at everything outside of VP, so why do we need to keep these insane rules in effect?
Its FFA in C, FFA in FFA, and FFA in R. Why are we still dealing with these ridiculous raid rules. Keep 2 of em in: No more than 2 people past zone when a mob spawns and no camping at raid targets.
This atrocity can go on no longer!
This.
Also please make sure Luclin is released after Velious is expended so my children can play Luclin someday in a healthy environment. There is nothing sweeter than the embrace of a Maiden's Eye.
