C) Make it so they can't leave north.
Been saying this for 2 years now, but larger numbers will still be required. 4-way and zone in should remain as safe as possible.
Temple of Veeshan was never meant to be a loot pinata. Many of us played during Velious on live (Club fu, Bristlebane), and cleared for our dragon loot. We still COTH'd into North for deeper targets. The only targets that were pulled to zone during that era were Ikatar and Eashan. Instant pulling all the best targets in the game to zone in for a 5 minute kill was not intended (PC's at the time couldn't even handle it) and is an obvious abuse of the game mechanic.
IMO, permitting the dragons to be pulled to the zone in to begin with created this sentiment...
The downfall is the timing. Entire guilds were designed for years around certain rules. Whether this affects the server population as a whole on blue (even slightly) will be based around that fact. Though, with Green and WoW Classic around the corner, it was happening regardless.
Changes needed to be tested. This was always intended to be a glorified beta. The raid scene has changed many,many times as the staff has worked to find ways to improve it. I applaud Rogean, Nilbog and the staff for continuing to attempt to work to make this server as classic as possible.
If I had a choice, I'd unroot the dragons, force guilds to fight them in the wing in which they spawn, and fix the Vulak mechanic (all dragons running to his aide). But just like every other rule-change this server has ever had, I'm sure It would fall apart and get abused just like everything else.
