Where was all this love and compassion a month ago when the thread was originally created? You could have said "we'll do the 5 clerics who spent the most time clicking air in the lair plus Ninik", but you didn't.

Anyway, I think this particular problem will go away pretty fast - my understanding with the new patch is that Ragefire will spawn about twice a week or maybe even more. So we'll get 8-10 more sprinklers this month and I'd be pretty surprised if one of them doesn't have Ninik's name on it.

I don't feel too bad for Taken. Maestro was up at least 10 minutes. So basically they just had 15 people AFK up there, and if this is enough to give you dibs on all raid mobs . . . lord help us. I do feel bad for BDA not getting Draco though. They had a nice head start with more than sufficient numbers.
EQ doesn't have a magical bubble that prevents other people from contesting stuff. I'm honestly surprised no one outside of IB/TMO came in to contest it.


Also it wasn't a TMO - IB guild based rotation, it was an agreement amongst the clerics with the most time at the camp, just so happens they were from IB/TMO. We randomed for the slots, which people now call a "rotation".

The OP was an attempt to demonstrate that it could be handled peacefully and to seek additional input from the rest of the community regarding how to go forward from here on out. The patch, thankfully, has been implemented so we should be seeing 2-6 ragefires per week instead of the previous 1 per 9 days. I would still like to see something worked out to prevent another FFA click fest.
