Questions.

1) how many raid targets were people getting before IB left and TMO took over?
2) how is the server different now that TMO is where IB was?
3) how many raid targets did people get after IB left and TMO took over?

I can tell you right now, the average player will see little to no difference between how the server was before or after IB left and TMO took the top spot. In fact, the only reason why the other guilds are complaining is because when TMO took IB's spot, the other guild took TMO's old spot.

Raid targets aren't magically all being blocked now b/c of TMO, they already were blocked for the past year. Not one thing has changed in that aspect of p99.

The server is going through the same motions it did pre-kunark, just with less high end raiding guilds due to merging.

1°) Oh, IB has got its responsability too. The "lock it down" bullshit is something I've always fought against.
2°) Even more trains, poopsocking and rule lawyering it seems. If you think casual guilds will want to compete with that.
3°) Way to forget I've been calling for server rotation. Because it was the case on my server. Classic experience, everybody gets to relive memories, server pop goes up and so does the competition. But you don't want that. You want the "easy" way out (a.k.a no competition).

Well as long as you do, server pop will decline, and you'll stay out of the game because it's not fun for you either. Such a fine situation we're in aren't we?

But as long as no rotation will be enforced by the staff, nothing will change. See what happened with Ragefire? Worked pretty well. Why can't it be done for a handful targets? (leave VP as open competition if you want, for all I care)
