Who said anything about camping at spawns? These people would all be in game, when the mob spawns you move people in from wherever to come kill the mob if you need more than 15, because hey, you have all the time in the world to kill the target - you're first in force!
Mob spawns, set an engage timer. Time runs out after ::insert time here::

This isn't rocket science.

People killed targets across Norrath in classic with far less than 36 people. What about guilds who can't field 36 people? Do they just not get to engage that target ever? If A-team can kill trak/vs/ct with 15, shouldn't they be allowed to?
Case by case basis. The better question is; Is a guild like the A-Team going to poopsock a mob like that or do their players have better things to do? (real lives)

Where do we get this arbitrary number from?
Arbitrary? That's the classic raid force number. This is just... I can't believe you don't know that.

Sure... instead, they are locking down every target in the game by going AFK. Sounds like a good solution. How does this fix the raid scene again?
So make them sock in rooms with spawns? Think outside the box dude.

lol. thx for playing.
Stop thinking like someone who's never raided on P99 and start thinking like a GM.
Still doing it wrong.
I'm thinking like someone who enjoys watching little fat kids fight over toys as much as the next guy, but this time the fat kids are in the way of others who actually want to get something done.

You know what your biggest problem is though? You are so busy basking in your own creation with this variance+FTE bullshit that you can't even see a decent suggestion when it's presented in front of you. The raid forum is a serious fucking joke, with every good suggestion tossed away because it doesn't conform to the variance/FTE 'vision'. You poke the smallest little holes in anything you see with these Hurr Durr posts of yours instead of being constructive and admitting "oh this would work well, just add this little bit to it".

I honestly don't care enough to keep this game going, but it's your bed man, you can sleep in it. Sorry I'm trying to offer an outside viewpoint. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
