How about a 3rd option? I understand that TMO is a raiding guild, and it raids to equip its new members and alt after alt, but what about an option that involves both racing and rotation. You always says you are about competition, unless it involves vp, which means your really not about competition just the perception of it.

Competition is competition. TMO is cockblocking Trak to limit people in VP, it's basic strategy. What I remember reading and hearing from people that were in kunark lots of guilds cockblocked VP by blocking Trak.

You say the only mob you intentionally cock block is VS and Trak,

Trak for obvious reasons, VS for less obvious reasons

yet you steam roll every other mob at any chance given. You want competition but not against equally geared player, just those with sub-par gear, which is im fine with, you want to stay number 1 i get it.

Most of the other targets don't take much gear to kill. It doesn't take VP gear to kill Sev, tal, fay, gore, inny, ct, vs, draco.

But what about letting others occasionally enjoy the kill. What i propose is a system that does both. Trak spawns atleast an average of 2 times per week. Why not have 2 spawns be race and 1 on rotation.

So you want to take a strategic move away from a guild who earned it and give it freely to others.

Example spawn 1 race, spawn 2 race, spawn 3 tmo, spawn 4 race spawn 5 race, spawn 6 bda, etc. On older world mobs move it 1 race, 1 rotation since there will be more guild competeing. This system would mostly shut everyone up and still provide you with you competition meanwhile not freely giving out loot. You make a rule, guild has 1 hour to engage and kill mob during their rotation or they forfeit. Lets be 100 percent honest, no guild can compete with TMO numbers, but if tmo wants a challenge in every zone, including vp, if they really want competition then why not let see if any other guilds can show the skill to get there. Its not the skill most guilds are lacking to kill mobs, its the time to properly prepare, because in order to race TMO, they often engage early. You cant scream competition if there is no way for it to exist. You say competition is classic, but batphoning on spawns and having 100 plus raid gear alts is not. Having full sets of alts parked at every raid spawn is not. 1 guild dominating the whole server is not.
|
This system would basically just have TMO killing mobs solo with maybe FE joining them, then having every other guild that can field 25+ people putting months between guilds getting consecutive kills on the same raid target.

Im not asking for free hand outs, im asking for a chance to prove other guilds can kill raid targets.

Yes you are.

Im not asking for a straight up rotation, or for TMO to give up all their raid targets.

No, you just want free mobs.

Im asking for TMO to let other guilds atleast have minimal raiding fun, and engage mobs while prepared. I don't feel letting 1 of 3 spawns go to rotation or in traks case letting a Guild have 1 trak a month free to engage is asking to much. Like i said this would satisfy your urge to race for raid targets, yet would also satisfy those other guilds urge to relive old raids. We are all here because we loved eq in its originality, letting others enjoy slightly and gear up some will onlly result in better competition for you, and isn't that what you want? What good is it to be the Best of the Best if you never play the game with any competition. NBA team would not have fun playing a high school team over and over.

TMO wants other guilds to do what they had to do, fight hard for what they get.
