Federation of Allied Players (FAP) 2.0 open to the public. I would be willing to provide some consulting experience for all parties for a platinum fee. I spent two weeks on version 1.0 forums before Class R rotation shut down. I also bring a diversified portfolio of NGO consulting and corporate audit experience.

Whenever a dragon spawns, all raiding level 60's are auto-encumbered, all casters are silenced, and all are ported to odus. Ready, set, race.

:D :D :D :D

Hardcore raiders are more in it for the competition of racing spawns than they are for the pixels. What you propose is to eliminate their style of play by giving hand outs.

Not that I have time to be such a raider. The island of Sodor is a busy place and waiting with bind sight for 16 hours is not really useful.

Also, you know, BDA. ect..

CSG 5-10%
Anon/Div 5-10%

New guilds can break into this if they prove themselves somehow. The percentages are up for debate of course, not the point.

We do a lottery system for first picks or come up with some way to pick dragons BEFORE they spawn. For example the pick order could go Aftermath -> Awakened -> BDA -> Aftermath -> Awakened -> CSG -> Anon/Div -> Aftermath etc... The next week Aftermath/Awakened and CSG/AnonDiv would switch order.

Some guilds prefer the rush of the race - fine by me. Let's say those two guilds are Awakened and Aftermath for the purposes of this discussion. Awakend and Aftermath can choose to race each other for their dragons. Maybe Awakened gets more, maybe Aftermath gets more, that is their choice. They can essentially pool their dragons together and duke it out.

This way each guild can still play how they want. The adrenaline junkie guilds can poopsock and race each other to their hearts content. The casual guilds who prefer the playstyle of clearing to a dragon and killing it can still play their way.

Majority of pixels still go to those that are putting in the most time and resources. Aftermath and Awakened can go back to Mage CoH pulling or do whatever they want. I expect the other guilds will clear to the mob and take their time, which is their preference.

Thoughts?

pass.

Since those leaders don't spend any time thinking about how this all works

literally LoL'd

I know I spent way too much time thinking about the intricacies of this server.

Your statement is ignorant of the time/effort leadership of the raiding guilds put into this game.

Where's Swish when you actually need him and his gifs? I think the sarcasm went way over your head.
