I missed my chance to post "in before tinfoil hats." :(

It would improve it to a slight degree. On a server repop, TMO can currently defend VP with 2-3 dedicated trainers to keep any other guild from killing any targets while the main TMO force clears the mobs the other guilds can actually kill. Then once those targets are dead, the TMO force can return to VP and kill the other mobs they have successfully defended.

Remove training and TMO would have to decide if they want FE/IB to get VP mobs or not. Then if it was a fight of the top guilds in VP, the rest of the guilds could race for the non-VP content.

That just sounds like a bunch of people commiserating together about being bullied

Yup!

damn did someone just drop some knowledge in this thread

Yes. The servers raid scene might not be completely fixed, but disallowing training in VP would be a huge help. I cannot see a logical reason why it's even still allowed.

It'd help if coupled with simulated patch days.

To me, there is one thing that can be done that might eliminate a lot of the crying.

Back on live, Epics were released in September, and 6 months later they made them easier to complete by revamping Hate/Fear and making other high priority mobs triggerable.

We are going on month 20 of epics being out, and for many of us we are no closer to having our epics. That is definitely "not classic". Unfortunately, one of the most complex expansions is sandwiched in between these epic events. Velious will be awesome, and definitely worth the wait. But the existence of Velious doesn't have anything to do with Kunark era epics.

If the revamps were done while there is still fine tuning done on Velious, what would it hurt? It would alleviate a lot of the complaining that is done, especially by those classes that has to look at the other classes that can complete their epics.

If you think 'One guild dominating most of the content' isn't classic, then your server was an exception.
