Yes, some of the exploiters have gotten away with bloody murder before they were caught, obviously giving their spoils to other accounts or people beforehand. A reboot would be a fresh start and maybe some of the nasty people would just move on finally. EQ might be dated but it's still the funnest game I've ever played since it's creation. It continues to bring me back. The classic server, it's mods and developers continue to bring me back. I think server mechanics should be pointed towards the average player, the majority not the TMOer who lives here, the few no-lifers. You all see how they defend themselves. Vicious. More people would log in if they knew their guild had a chance at raid content. The reasoning TMO constantly provides is what is keeping people with 60 level characters from logging in. I understand their arguement, that they spend more time, expend more effort, they deserve their raid targets but it's not healthy for themselves or the server population. A rotation would get people to log in due to opportunity. More guilds would see their numbers swell. But it's a different mentality to consider about how raids are done and guilds would still need to be diligent and ready when their pop window is up. I know people will be chomping at the bit, watching to see a guild whose turn it is to miss their window. INSTEAD of attempting to inform them their window clock is running. This kind of selfless act can only work for such guilds who help each other out. Promoting a positive attitude amongst the raiders.
a reboot would not, however really stop them from locking down content though like Lockets of Escape camp, NoS camp, VP key camps etc. I do not much care for allowing a person in line to call up a guild member to get in line behind them in front of someone else who is already there waiting. I feel that a guild member needs to be there, in zone, in proximaty of the camp in question before others arrive to be allowed in line.
I would love to see the server promote and reward a more cooperative mindset.
