I forget who posted it but recently something was posted about how part of the problem is that you guys tend to keep a record of wrongs and then whenever something happens it's like "Well on july 3, 2011 you kited sev!!!" "OH YEAH? Well on july 4, 2011 YOU KS'D OUR TRAK!!!" "OH YEAH? WELL ON AUGUST 4, 2011 YOU GUYS TRAIND US AT VS!!"

that's not productive and doesn't help :P

in theory a simultaneous full respawn might help this but probably not. chances are IB/VD/TMO would all just go for the same targets at the same time and drive the staff nuts anyway :P
The only way you'll ever get complete compliance is through an enforced rotation. Many people don't want this, including the GMs, so you get the above scenario. Frankly, he really fucked it up by not getting rid of a lot of the troublemakers and instead giving them a timeout, i'd wager a lot of the assholes you've had to deal with are the same assholes who should've been gone a long time ago. Either take your hands off completely or be more strict when you do decide to come down with the hammer, this in between bullshit only furthers the issue.

Change it or live with it, Amelinda. Asking them to be level-headed is out of the question. What's never happened on this server is guilds being punished (and i do mean entire guilds) for the action of greedy members who don't mind giving the staff more work. There is no incentive to have them work together outside of VP (FFA), hence you've got your issues. I tried telling this to Uthgaard, who apparently got the idea but Rogean shot it down right quick: If you see people being assholes and one side not coming to an agreement because they're being unreasonable then kick them out and ban them from raiding for a couple weeks, or both sides not willing to settle it amongst themselves and be reasonable then delete the loot and ban em both. Like I said, either put your fist down or step back and actually not give a shit, pussy-footing around only furthers the dilemma
