how to get raid mobs
1) get tracker on or near the spawn
2) set up Twitter, Google, or whatever so you can "batphone" your guild
3) get you guild to show up when the batphone goes out
4) kill the raid target
I think what people want is
1) Raid targets left alone until a predetermined guild gets to kill it (ala ragefire)
What you guys should do is what TMO does. Track raid mobs, be willing to show up for them, and not complain when you get out mobilized. I am sure you are saying, "but TMO complains all the time." If you guys would show up for a raid targets you would get so much more respect then when you don't and complain about loot.

I don't really see the need for you to act rude and condescending just because you're woefully out of touch with how casual guilds do things. Most other people from your guild seem to understand this, but you don't - you insist on assuming that casual players are all inept at this game and you're somehow god's gift to eq. Our guild is fairly prepared and has trackers in place for most of the targets we prioritize. We keep track of TOD's when we know them. The main problem is getting people to devote unreasonable amounts of time to tracking, which wasn't required on Live, because 96 hour variances for raid mobs didn't exist on Live. Still we try to work within the system even though the current ruleset is absurd (thankfully Nilbog has said he plans to fix this, so we'll see if things improve). I want to ask, why is there such a monopoly at the high end of this server when there wasn't on most Live servers? Do you think it's because casual guilds on p99 just happen to suck more than the ones on Live? If you have two different stimuli and two different responses, then the differences in your responses are probably due to the differences in your stimuli. The main difference between Live and p99 is the time investment required to compete. Put 2 and 2 together instead of assuming that all we want are handouts - we don't, we want to compete, we just want to compete under reasonable terms (ie, not having to drop out of school or quit our jobs just for a chance at pixels).
