If raid guilds are only conquering content using exploits like pulling mobs to the zone line to avoid having to kill anything else making it a fast kill why not make this tactic ban worthy? Why is this allowed? Perma root the mobs if need be.

If raids required more tactics and time to take down the targets, and more targets were up, wouldn't that also increase the chances of multiple guilds having chances at many different targets?

Other things should be addressed also to make for harder kills, like all the complete heal items and clickies people exploit here.

It just seems the way p99 allows the raiders to operate only makes for weak sauce raiding. Then they have the nerve to call this "competitive raiding".

Poopsocking shouldn't be the hardest aspect and biggest time consuming factor to an EQ raid imo.

I just think it would be a lot more fulfilling for truly competitive players if socking played a minor role in the meta of raiding, less clickies were used, and the challenge came from the actual fight against the mobs.

This would also create more respect between the guilds knowing that they were winning due to superior tactics and fighting, not superior sockers who had more time to sit and wait for pops coupled with a raid force that was expert at training mobs to zone lines for easy kills. This is lame.
you spelt your name wrong. No silent H.
