Not multiple at once.

Here's the problem with your conception of varied stake. Legal realism as exemplified by maritime law is applied on the basis of access to water. Nobody could seriously argue that a landlocked country with no major maritime trade has as significant a stake in international maritime law as a country that is surrounded on all sides by water and has integral aspects of its economy wrapped up in maritime trade. Varied stake is a product of undeniable and largely inescapable geographic limitations.

This isn't a comparable situation. Whether or not a given guild has a significant stake in the end game is directly related to the rules that dictate the end game. Whether international maritime law settles on a set of regulations regarding piracy or not, South Sudan is not going to be terribly invested. But if variance is eliminated and rotations put into place, essentially every player on the server could be expected to have a stake in the raid scene. The rules, not the nature of the player, dictate the level of involvement for the vast majority of players. The level 5 alt-a-holic nostalgia fiend is the minority amongst the guilds being represented. Most players do reach raiding level and would participate, given the right set of rules.

As much as your other views piss me off, this is an exceptional argument/metaphor. Gave me a boner

Yendor, once we have an agreement, what is to stop others from wanting even more content handed out in a palatable way? Maybe every tuesday and thursday, at 7pm so the west coasters have time to get home, too. That list Rogean showed--everyone who is currently even thinking about raiding (including A-team, AG, etc.) is less than 15% of the server. If we take this to its logical conclusion (that everyone who wants an epic or raid loot) with the ability to zerg down a 32k dragon gets some, then we've got a rotation with a little over a month between getting a single target. People waiting 3 months for a shot at VS who may or may not have a wizard staff.

It's obviously shitty design to have mandatory epic quest pieces on mobs that spawn so rarely, but it is what it is. We either do public raids with full rotations on loot (or just /random) or we have what we have here. Any change that isn't is simply unfair to those who would have a voice otherwise.

To frame the issue: In treaty negotiations on the law of the sea should, say South Sudan, wield as much diplomatic influence as England, Japan, or any other country with a much larger interest in the waterways?

Considering TMO/FE/IB act like South Sudan (given in this analogy douchbaggery can be equated with piracy) with a population of England, no, they shouldn't be given equal weight to people that respect the law and don't gain pleasure and wealth from the misery of the rest of the population...

Apt analogy, nice job!

Now, now...is this the constructive attitude of the BDA members, the white knights we all know and love? You could try to be a little nicer, jeez. I demand that this member be disciplined in-game, this is surely not the attitude that reflects P99's Premiere Playnice Guild. I applaud your efforts in advance, Chest.

How dare a BDA member post such contentious fare in Rants and Flames. I will dock the fuck out of his DKP. I promise.

[mgellan]

Yes, yes, I demand to be disciplined! Discipline me!

Uh, can I request Mohini in a leather bikini... and, like a whip? Alligator clips? I can bring the whip cream!!

Try to enjoy the break from raiding pals.

Level up tons more ogre shamans/high elf enchanters/high elf (or cazic thule erudite!) clerics. Surely power leveling up tons more of these couldn't hurt more than the current raid scene problem.
