Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

There are also ways around Silverwing/Hoshkar that other VP-keyed guilds could use to move around VP without killing anything. You aren't looking at whats important, the raiding scene's health. Its suffering right now, and some simple changes could really bring it back and increase competition across the board.

I understand the dev's are focused on Velious at the moment but honestly releasing velious before addressing the raiding scene's flaws at this point would just be putting a bandaid over a huge wound that requires stitches. I don't really see what the issue is with removing training in VP, other than it would make it harder for TMO to lock down the zone. That's the only problem here, and the fact that I'm sure intentional training would still happen under the guise of "Oops, bad pathing" and GM's would be petitioned/annoyed more. That's another entire issue in itself though.

The raiding scene now is so much better than it was when TMO/IB were going at it that it's insane how much you guys don't see it. The only aspect is training in VP that you guys don't get (it's a GM decision to not want to deal with petitions in the zone). However, I seriously doubt any zone in Velious will have training allowed and you guys still sit around with your thumbs up your asses as if it's impossible to snag targets regularly now.

You have one guild to compete against which you've already claimed "wipes on the regular" and yet not a single other guild is gearing up for velious raiding? and why???? Oh, training is allowed in a zone that only 30 other people outside of TMO can even enter...

PS: Moving around VP and Killing raid targets are two different beasts.
