Trak Rotation

[Ektar]

I feel my point is undeniable, though I think from your perspective what I'm trying to say is not a valid point. To be clear, I'm agreeing to disagree, not calling you dumb or anything :P

It has been a year since I was in a leadership role of IB and (again, just over-reiterating) I do not speak for TR. but, if I was going to make the call this time around, I'd make the same call - your fix is to stop hurting us both. Yeah, that, I guess, means you don't get any more traks? But that's how you stop hurting yourself.


maybe poopsock every two or three? if you want to stop poopsocking and still want traks, and you won't achieve a rotation through your breath holding, make the pain less on you. poopsock once a week instead of 1 day off.

but I've said all I care to on the forum, since once someone dumb comes and reads this I'm sure it'll get skewed into something I didn't say, and I won't be able to fix it. so send me a tell in game if you care to discuss it any longer

also there are some in TMO that would rather poopsock every last one if it meant TR didn't get a single kill. I for one couldn't care less either way. If i have time to play EQ i'll be on, if not, i'll be in the bed or whatever else i need to do.

Alright, that's cool -- those of us that aren't posturing like children still want to see some resolution to this that doesn't involve waking up at 3am to kill a bunch of pixels because we've all decided to poopsock them.

I have no issues with TR. I have issues with getting paged at o'dark-stupid for a game.

Should just have an honor system in place for all raid targets except the planes really (since theres so many mobs to pull in fear/hate theres essentially enough to "share"). In other words, if guild A has 10-15 ppl in zone and the raid target is up, guild B says "Ok they've gathered faster, we will gather faster then them next time (or not)." When I say 10-15 people I just mean that one guild has a raid force capable of taking whichever mob (trak) down at the time. Course if guild A wipes, guild B gets a chance to kill the mob. This is how it was on Prexus live after the raid calender was fubar. If this is how it was everytime would never be stupid rants about shit like this, like yeah whichever guild doesnt gather a


Pretty soon other guilds aside from TMO/TR are going to be killing trak, its inevitable. Whats going to happen then? GM's gonna change trak spawn time to 8 hours? lol I doubt that, and I doubt that a rotation will be set up.

Just make the mob FFA. Whichever guild does more dmg, wins!

Actually, a rotation does make sense. Since we're on a blue server, no one can really compete for anything. Competing should not be tediously camping something.

This "competition" the bluebies do is sad and kind of pathetic. Why would a rotation be bad if you can't even compete like you're supposed to? One guild dominating all the others because of something dumb like this is ridiculous. And I can't imagine it being healthy for the server population.

I thought blue players were supposed to be nice to one another and take turns?

EDIT: an example of playing nice

well maybe you didn't say it, but someone else said "it's both guilds' faults"

and to fix: as I'm trying to say, TR (though, again, I don't speak for them) is not going to give into the child holding his breath until his demands are met. They will (as IB did in the past) hold out until the child suffocates. the only fix is the kid stops holding his breath.

What you're basically saying is that you'd rather TMO just collapse from poopsock-induced burnout than reach a compromise with them like a mature adult would do. You're confident this will occur because it supposedly happened in the past with DA. What you're not realizing is that poopsocking still hasn't stopped, even in kunark. Even if a guild collapses in the short term from this it won't stop it in the long term; guilds will always go back to poopsocking even after a brief period of no-poopsocking.

Moreover, if you expect TMO to get burnt out from sitting in trak's lair forever, by that reasoning you should expect TR members to get burnt out as well, since they admittedly are okay with poopsocking as a response. It doesn't matter who starts it; if poopsocking can discourage members of one guild it can discourage members of the other.

I'm not a member of either guild but I'm sure both parties are mature enough to organize a rotation. It's in both their interests, and like I argued earlier, it actually encourages competition since it opens up the boss for other guilds.

Need moar elite red players telling us how we're not good enough to play in their back yard. GO GO GO.
