Remove all raid targets

Rogean mentioned removing raid content from Velious if things don't improve. Why stop there, let's remove raid content from Kunark and original EQ. Maybe only raid targets are spawned by GMs.

Raid scene here isn't classic either. The server I played on back in the day had a raid calendar. We didn't have a bunch of no life assholes cock blocking all the raid content.

The agreements your guilds came up with out of game have nothing to do with the content in game. My server for example it was all out racing for any mobs up once raid time began. Scout prior to raid - find targets, mobilize while assembling groups and engage while being raced or racing someone.

Personally I prefer racing guilds to content as it ads the complexity of logistics to the engagements but whatever. Beating Afterlife to NtoV or rushing to engage Emporer in SSRA with them breathing down our necks and pulling off a win by the skin of our teeth - these are the exhilirating memories that come from competition. Honestly if I wanted to stand in line to be handed something I would go to the deli counter instead of a game.

Well then we simply disagree with what is fun. If I wanted to compete against other players, I would join a PvP server.

Why play an MMO at all if you don't want to compete against others? Every single time you buy anything from a PC you're competing. When you got to a zone to xp you're competing.

Elmarnieh, if you were racing Afterlife then you were on Mithaniel Marr. What was your character's name and what guild were you in, if you don't mind me asking? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Variance isn't classic. As you see in a different thread, variance is actually screwing up the proposed rotation. If we are going to an enforced rotation and/or adding a rule like not being able to down a boss twice in a row, I think variance needs to be reconsidered.

My server didn't have a raid calendar. It was cutthroat as hell and had real cockblocking. P99 is nothing in comparison. Most the guilds just got the scraps thrown to us. The #2 guild got its first Trak kill so late in Kunark it was a joke...

Go play on that server then, we are sick of it.
