Severe Punishments
I am promoting severe punishments for 2 reasons.
1. They will reduce the instances of players KSing raid mobs or training raid forces under my one rule of raiding.
2. Because of #1, the devs/guides/GMs will have a reduced demand for their services in moderating raid mob disputes.
There are existing rules of the server that prohibit KSing and training. These, combined with "First Aggro + 15" and Mob Aggro Messages present a situation where guilds can compete and know instantly and without error who won. Without adequate punishment for breaking the KSing and Training rules, guilds who lost the race to aggro, might be tempted to KS or train the winning guild in hopes of obtaining the loot, counting on the devs not wanting to investigate, or a lenient punishment. With adequate punishment, we should expect a grudging /say or /shout of "gg, guild x, you got him this time, but we'll be back." Perhaps it won't be an instant transition, but it should come swiftly if a few guilds actually do KS and face the new punishments.
Ultimately, I hope for developer and player response to make sure that this does satisfy all the major goals of both parties with regard to the raiding scene, and subsequent response from the developers to enact this as server policy.
Lastly, let me implore the community to keep this thread shit-free. Please present your opinion of the system if you like. Please present constructive criticism if you like. Please try to argue the merits of particular points where you can, which is much more useful than just saying "ur plan sux, dude!" If you must troll, make a new post in R&F about how big of a douche you think I am. I'll come play in there, I promise.
