I too think the raid scene on this server is complete shit (and has been for far too long).
This is a PVE server, ie Care Bear central. All non-raid encounters require play-nice policy, but when it comes to raiding there's no more nice to be had, it's all Mad Max and the Thunderdome.
I agree with 99% of what Skope has pointed out. I don't know him at all, but his posts are pretty well thought out and I found myself nodding my head as I read.
I've had a dandy time with this server, as long as I turn a blind eye to the raiding aspect. Unfortunately, it seems like the devs are doing the same thing.
Nilbog, this server is the coolest EQ emulator hands down. People like Skope or anyone else who has spoken out about the toxic raiding scene does so (in most cases) because they care about the health of the server.
Try some different things. Drop variance. Institute new raiding rules on a limited basis to see how things pan out.
Thank you for this server and for bringing back one of my favorite gaming experiences.
