First to Engage: Exploiting the mechanic?

[justin2090]

IF the GM's enforced a raid mob rotation what would stop guilds from not recruiting? I mean if your guaranteed a raid mob and you could take several hours to get there why would you want to increase your raid force?

"X" guild is guaranteed Trak kills for the next month and they have 20ish active players. Sorry no more apps please raid force is full. Then guess what? Their mains get geared and their 7 alts. Same shit folks.

Government intervention is not the way! Let the people figure it out.

Glenn Beck hasnt been on the air for a while, and I am pretty sure most of us would like to keep it that way. Go argue with hasbinbad or something; your off the wall biased political agenda is really not necessary here. The point of most people on here is exactly to let the people figure it out; the problem is that the people are not figuring it out.

I speak the truth and you know it. Never underestimate greed and especially nerd greed.

Let's take a look at something like Trak. Leave variance in. You could have a rotation with something like TMO, FE/IB, BDA, Taken, Divinty, FFA. Set stipulations, you must engage in 15 minutes or it turns into FFA. You wipe and it turns into FFA. The casual guilds still aren't guaranteed that kill when Trak spawns at some stupid 4am slot, or when it spawns in the middle of the week on a workday. I don't even know if it's feasible, TMO would probably just split into TMO-A, TMO-B, TMO-C and demand slots. There's going to be drawbacks with any system that could be implemented, just like there's drawbacks now, even the system now could work if people could exhibit some common courtesy.

This may help some but really its the non-batphone people that want to kill a dragon. There would have to be a set time every week for a raid boss to spawn. But then again what would stop X guild from loggin an unguilded alt for training purposes? 15 minutes is up.
