^ well said Chest.
Deru, I think part of the problem is the fact that guilds will have people in these zones during the windows.
What is considered a poopsock by the staff which is deemed frowned up?
Currently within this ruleset you are allowed ( when competing for a Raid target):
2 Trackers near the spawn point. Since things shifted to favor COHing FTEers, you will most likely also have 2 FTEers grouped with your 2 mage trackers.
so far a min of 4 people in the zone....
TMO stated they like to have someone there buffing, so ench/clr/shaman buffing the 2 FTEers....around 1 full group 6 people.
6 people seems reasonable to not call it a 'poopsock' even tho it still technically is....so where is the line drawn.
Lets continue to use the whipping boy Taken as an example here.
Just me quickly typing that and thinking, I realize that its pretty normal to expect competition to have at least a group parked at the zone line for FTEers + buffers. Considering they have far more experience/numbers/gear than any Class R roster, the only way to combat that advantage is numbers. Like Chest points out, we are constantly told to 'try harder', mostly by our own Server GM Sirken.
So if we say bring a second group for 'support', suddenly we are in the wrong for doing so.
How exactly are guilds who lack the experience, gear, roster and levels able to ever 'up the ante' in a way that is not deemed frowned upon?
We cant use numbers ( get flamed for poopsocking )
We cant use creative strats ( get flamed for ducking COH, binding, poopsock rushing )
Like I have stated in fun on-going server chat thread....the system is currently C/C/R...
The FFA tier is anything BUT FFA since apparently there is more rules to a FREE FOR ALL than there are in the Class R rotation.
Lets get rid of it and have a real FREE FOR ALL when the world shakes and swift decisions, movement, communication, coordination and tactics can be on display.
It would be a beautiful thing, and poopsocks would die instantly. I have no idea why we cant even at least 'try' it for a month.....what is the harm?
