Mass PVP would solve all the GM headaches and bickering among the playerbase.

I have been able to maintain a 45% raid attendance with a very healthy real life since my time in IB because server repops frequently happen during weekends or at night (because that's when rogean isn't at work and can apply patches *shocked face*) when all it means is choosing between killing a few dragons and going to bed early. Plenty of people are in this boat. You are absolutely pulling your numbers out of your butt.

ps - 40% is what we ask of our active members and apps. Having people spread out across timezones is extremely beneficial.

I just multiplied 49% of raids X 168 hours per week (it seems I didn't remember your raid percentage perfectly). Last few patches raid mobs weren't spawned AFAIK so a uniform distribution seemed like a reasonable assumption at the time. I would be very curious to see a log of your raid attendance with times, but I totally understand if that's personal.

P.S. THE MASSES HAVE SPOKEN UTHGAARD! WHERE'S MY FUNGI STAFF?

I would freaking love it if mass PvP was the determining factor.

Being on call for 40% of your life as a minimum requirement seems reasonable to you people? Is this a game or a cult?

I got another option....Aggro zone on the guilds leaders...the one that survives gets the mob.

40% raid attendance =/ 40% of total time spent on Everquest.

It doesn't take a whole guild, or even a half of a guild, to track a mob, unless you're going to pull a poopsock, which I really havn't seen in a long while.

Sometimes its a few people tracking a lot and fast mobilization, but hopefully its more like everybody puts in a little bit of time being on the lookout for mobs with the mobilization so your logic doesn't actaully come to be the truth for anybody. I dont think it was ever a requirment, though I won't doubt that its the truth for some people on the server.

PvP + Last [melee] hit not first.
