All Players are Raid Suspended Until Further Notice

No. The problem is the # of mobs, # of players who have had way too much time including bonus xp weekends out the ass to hit max level.

The other problem is "terms are dictated to you" by a top guild which you immediately respond to with refusal and indignation. As very apparent, it took EXTREME measures by the staff to even get you THINKING about agreeing and it STILL can't happen.

The way to go here (I know, me suggesting shit) is to get a majority of guilds in agreement on a system, give the others some time to talk it over and then, they either:

GET WITH THE PROGRAM

OR

GET DISBANDED

As I've said, I've been on both sides of these disputes and trying to get mobs. What Rogean did really was the only way to get us this close, now, its time for people to get with the program or get disbanded. That's the only way we can move forward.

Inb4 I want to see any single guild disbanded here, I don't. Inb4 I just want you to bend to TMO/FE's "mandates" (they aren't mandates).

As Alarti said before, they were willing to (very begrudgingly, the "uber" hardended CORE won't even come back if I understand correctly) give up 22 spawns a month (that's like 30 days almost a raid mob a day here). I think them holding down Faydedar, Inny, CT were ridiculous at times when they didn't have mains that needed epics and it was time to share. However, refusing to even make an EFFORT to track the mob when its your turn etc is just plain old lazy and ridiculous. If you can't put forth that much effort, I really don't think you deserve raid mobs. And I don't mean 24-7 track watches. I mean between 5pm-11pm normal time having 1 tracker out of your supposedly "same size" guild at the mob.

EverQuest isn't a game about "everyone seeing the content", it was NEVER by intention a game like this. However, I do agree its a 14 year old game and people need to chill out and let others enjoy the content. I think most of the propositions were reasonable and its obvious some people can't pick something that isn't completely in their favor. It's a COMPROMISE, so learn to treat it like one and work with each other. If you're getting 4 mobs a month up from 0, be happy. Velious will also come and I hope current rotations will be even more relaxed and further divided by guilds choosing and sticking to factions.

That said... I definitely saw this coming and the staff has pushed you 95% of the way. I've been more pleased to see Nilbog even suggest things and Rogean/Sirken working with you guys. However, a 5% push to force out those who cannot understand what a COMPROMISE is (not getting EXACTLY what you want) is going to be necessary.

My favorite thing that will come out of this is an END to poop socking and 2-4am batphones for ANYONE. Also understand you'll hafta be patient for items and show up to a lot of raids no matter what system is in place if you are to get the things you want. Understand that's going to take a lot of time and raids, NOTHING changes that.
