Look Bruman, I had a huge thread earlier about getting more simulated patch days. I still think its a good idea (my favorite would be 2 per month, 1 random and 1 on say the first of every month) and utterly classic. I think we should implement it tomorrow. But the real problem here is that EQ is designed to make players fight over a limited number of raid mobs. Meanwhile our server is populated almost entirely by people who played on live before, and were good at it, i.e. they played a lot, so the server is extremely top heavy. In other words, the supply is low, the demand is high, and the payment will come in time.

Again, I like the Giegue/Loraen plan: to claim FTE, your guild must have the raid boss at 99% HP or less, and one of your players summoned by the raid mob within the past 30 seconds. If you are legitimately killilng the mob, this is easy anyway: as soon as the main tank sees the target's HP at 99%, just run away until you get summoned. Actually I think TMO/IB/VD should just sit down and agree to this anyway.

This is easy to verify because mobs currently shout to the zone when they summon players. It eliminates all forms of kiting or stalling or whatever.

I've seen some stupid suggestions before, but it's going to be very difficult to top this one.
