It would be nice but we're moving from guilds talking to guilds to solve issues to guilds looking to developers to solve issues, trivial or not

Probably not the direction that will gain favorability with the server staff..
Exactly!

The server's guilds did not arrive at the status quo out of a vacuum. Things progressed to where they are because of how the rules/repops/variance and other factors were set... by the server staff.

The staff's stance here, with all due respect, doesn't make much sense.

You've got a situation where nobody can get all the loot they want, and Rogean is saying something along the lines of "make an agreement to share the toys or we'll release velious with no toys for anyone."

So, of course, eveybody's only setting forth agreement terms that benefit themselves.

And the only solution set forth so far that effectively means more loot to go around for everyone... is the one the staff won't do!

Loraen has some very valid, non-troll points. I'm not saying a weekly repop would solve all problems, but it's the only solution that, at the bottom line, reduces pressure on everyone to relentlessly compete for every target. No enforcement or windows or points or what-have-you necessary. And let's not forget that weekly repops are both classic and really, really FUN!

Think about it for a minute. TMO/IB/FE would have an easier time letting go of targets like Sev/Tal/Gore/Naggy if there were 4 extra pops a month. TMO/IB/FE would have less motivation to slaughter each other for pixels in VP if there were 4 more rounds of pops a month. A-Team would have more chances at what they want - targets without tracking/batphones - if there were 4 more rounds of pops a month. BDA and AG and Lord Bob and Taken would have more chances to progress as they please if there were 4 more rounds of pops a month.

And if anyone decides to play dickbags with training and shenanigans: suspend them! Suspensions hurt more when there are 4 more rounds of pops a month!

That can only be a step in the right direction. And it doesn't look like a hard step to take at all... so why on earth is it not on the table?
