IMO any competition by multiple guilds for the same target in EQ is doomed to retardation. The staff have made a pretty good go of it - I just don't think its possible. The Ancient Ranger is right: the only question is whether its a super short term/intense autofire sock, a short term/intense COH ducking sock, or a long term/relaxed track-while-doing-homework sock. Hell, Forceful Entry and TMO used to poopsock Venril Sathir even when he had a 96 hour window!

The solution is repops which spread players out and are randomly timed. For some reason the staff refuses to consider altering their system to C/R + FFA repops, which would basically preserve the ratio of targets in each category while unequivocally making the raid scene more fun. I think they believe that Velious will fix everything; personally I think the raid scene should be fixed before Velious releases.
