Well the way I see it is pretty simple. Everyone says ... We dont like Poopsocking ... We dont like camping ... We dont like ;Insert what ever here: however the only people that are going to be able to really change it are the guilds that do it. In reality there are only a few guild doing this and while they claim not to like it or agree with it they continue to do it. If the larger guild were really against this they would stop. Rule are put in place to try and help but the only thing that is going to change this are the Guild Leaders of the guilds that are doing this.
Project 1999 just like live is a community based game. If the community feels strong enough to change something they will. If they do not then its not going to change. It does not matter what the rules are because there are always ways around them. The rules may make it more difficult to do but they canīt really prevent it.
Now if the community felt strongly enough about this they could police themselves. If the members of Dancing Dickbeaters really decided they did not want to poop sock then the resolution is simple. They tell the guild leader If we poop sock we are leaveing the guild and creating a new guild called Dicking Dancebeaters then Dancing Dickbeaters would not longer poopsock.
With this if the community felt strongly enough about it to completly shun anyone in a guild that poopsocked it will also help. Everyone says Dancing Dickbeaters is the Uber guild and they dont care if they are shunned but this is not the fact imho. People migrate to the uber guild to get the uber loot and be the best of the best of the best sir because they like being seen that way. If no one in the community will have anything to do with them. Do port them. Dont buy thier items. Dont talk to them. Dont group with them and thier alts. Dont accept them into other guilds when they leave. This also would start forcing a change. Would it prevent all the people from doing it no. Would it prevent enough people from doing it as to weaken the raid force of the offending guild yes.
The problem is that we as a community do not pressure the offenders to stop what they are doing. Guilds will cry and say We have to Poopsock because Dancing Dickbeaters are poopsockin and if we dont we wont get the uber loots. Its just a self perpetuating pile of horse shit imho.
