skope, shifts shouting aside, i really appreciate the time you put into your numerical outline near the top of this page, post
204.
i would like to hear your idea and i will PM you.
also, i would like to share my initial impression on one aspect of your post. i'm kind of skeptical whenever you bring up the idea of recreating the classic spirit of raiding. while i think it is a noble goal and i would very much like to see it recreated or emulated as closely as possible, i believe that it is entirely impossible under all rule sets. this is because it is not dependent on the rule set at all, it is dependent on the player base, the goals of that player base and additionally the proportion of the player base that is looking to achieve experience A, B or C. (meaning the amount of players that want to get one thing out of the game relative to the amount of players looking to get something else out of the game).
