2. Anger

5. Acceptance

You need to skip to stage 5 and realize that raiding on this server WILL ALWAYS SUCK. The staff here want a competitive server, i.e. they enjoy watching players get up at 5AM on New Years for a server reset. Since the content is not challenging and never will be, Project 1999 raiding will always be about poopsocking. It has been this way for the entire life of the server because that is the way the staff want it.

So either a) accept that it sucks and play here anyway, b) move to another server like Phinigel/TAKP/P2002, or c) go outside.

Think it sounds like you are in Stage 2? I don't think the staff gets some kind of pleasure out of people poopsocking, they just created a classic server and people play / raid on it as they will.

I only raid about once a month due to RL, I don't poopsock, track, or pre-park. I consider myself a 'raider of opportunity'. What I was suggesting wasn't meant to fix any kind of poopsocking, just remove some of the easy-mode stuff and make things more like they were before aggro management revolved around a few key items.
