ty for breaking down my post Lazie
I get it tho, you guys really want to race. Acting like a race will suddenly give 'the little guys' a huge chance versus what we have now is handful of magic beans you are selling.
Like TMO's own guild leader suggested, maybe instead of lvling a 6th or 7th alt, a smaller R guild can take a week or two and Plvl a guild account mage and voila, they have just as much advantage in FTEing a dragon as the big boys.
A footrace that requires a specific location to start at, a specific level of run speed, specific classes who can race or not ( ie bards avail or not )..all while requiring a burden of evidence to back up claims of cheating. All of those factors does indeed add up to having more layers than the one layer currently required ( a COH guild account mage )
Any member can log on that mage and press one button when the dragon spawns, its really not difficult, and its the same for TMO and the same for IB. Any guild can show up and COH their tagger in.
I think,again, we need to re-focus on fixes to the actual raid scene not the FTE meta game. Its very hard to tell a difference for the hardcores because their life is about how to get FTE, but there is more to the raid scene environment leading up to that part.
I am not pushing an agenda, I am just speaking my mind as a player that has been here since 2009 and experienced quite a bit of this game and this server.
A foot race will be different sure, but will it be all that much better? I suppose possibly?
Theres no need to change anything if its not a fundamental change in how raiding is structured, else we are just putting a different shade of lipstick on a pig. Maybe the violet brings out the pigs eyes more than the peach color but its still lipstick on a pig....

Long post that I am not going to cover the same as the other. Just a few points I will add.
Some guilds have less resources than others and asking them to have to level a specific class just to compete means that the raid scene isn't open to new guilds just walking in and competing.
The goal at this point should not be "What makes this better for the guilds already in the raid scene". The goal should be to make it more approachable by current guilds and possible new guilds in the future. The current state of the raid scene is limited to guilds with certain resources. Yes A GOOD option for the current guilds that compete on FFA spawns is to say "LEVEL A MAGE YO!". It makes smaller guilds though have to put forth time and energy to create a resource they don't have. Remember this is supposed to be about opening up content to everyone. You are wanting to restrict it to guilds with more resources.
