I disagree. If top guilds are currently competing for crap mobs like Draco, what makes you think they won't still be going for Kunark mobs then?

How is draco a crap mob? He drops the best caster belt in game atm; which is still fairly nice into velious.

Exactly. He has one piece of loot that is still worth going after. The same can be said for essentially all current raid mobs in Velious. The additional content will help dilute things a bit, but it's not like any guild is going to ignore a Kunark dragon.

Sure, but who cares? Velious gear shits all over Kunark gear. And if you really want those Kunark pixels, you can always go after them during a repop when FITEMOBS will be busy for 6+ hours in NToV.

I'm all for adding spawn points on pathing nodes of roaming dragons and making a rule that trackers must collaborate with the guild and not be the first people on a mobs hatelist.

Fuckers need to stop relying on auto spam ranged attack macros and give rangers something to do.

Like I said, there's still going to be plenty of times where those guilds aren't busy with high end raid mobs. The moral of the story: if you think Kunark raid mobs are going to become easily accessible when Velious is released, you're gonna have a bad time.

It's almost like you are willfully ignoring everything I am saying.

Actually, I just don't see how it's relevant. Velious gear is generally better, yes. That doesn't mean current raid mobs aren't going to be javspammed come Velious.

OK, let me try and be a bit more detailed.

First, nearly half of all targets will appear on repop days.

Second, because of low variance and frequent server resets most targets are popping in a 24 hour window centered on about noon EST saturday. Go look at the 'raid targets' list for Velious. There are like 25 of them. And this isn't Kunark where everyone logs in and roflstomps the target for 5 minutes. ToV North trash is harder than Kunark gods. IB/TMO will be busy in Velious for at least half of that 24 window if not all of it.

Third, if you are jav spamming you have to have a force camped out in the zone (no time to port). Do you think IB/TMO are going to be busy camping all of their alts in Kunark or Velious?

Fourth, I don't think anyone likes jav spamming. Even Flippie posted in RNF that it gets old real fast.

When you put all this together, which Kunark targets are really worth it?

[Ciroco]

So many assumptions in that scenario, including:

-current raid mob windows will stay clustered
-TMO/IB will make no effort to ensure Velious mob windows do not fall into that cluster
-TMO/IB are the only guilds who would javspam
