I don't understand why people have such a hardon for this point system. Its still possible for most of the casual guilds to never see a VS, Trak, or CT kill ever again depending on the more hardcore guilds' mob priority. Especially if IB/FE ever decided to part ways amidst such a system. Also what stops players from hardcore guilds apping their lesser known alts into other guilds for additional chances at loot once their main guild is done cleaning out their priority targets? Stealin and Derubael were debating about core groups of raiders splintering off from guilds to game the system when all they really have to do is slip their alts into a guild like BDA/Taken/Divinity and invest their time in whichever guild is after the most targets on that player's personal priority list.

What if for example draco is on low priority for a lot of guilds and one guild in particular has made it one of their main focuses to get as many BCGs as possible. Why not just app a caster alt into that guild and try to score a BCG for my main eventually since my main guild isnt prioritizing that mob anymore?

1.) because my guild watches out for shit like that.

2.) most of the server, in fact, are not assholes.

3.) we don't care about engaging VS every week. But the server cares when you kill VS, and Trak, and Talendor, and Sev, and Gore, and Inny, and CT, and Draco, and Fay in the same week. There's the issue and my system fixes that. Pick the damn targets you need, and if you miss them better luck next week.

All the point system will do is limit the top 2 guilds to engage mobs and give the next 2 in line more mobs. On paper it looks great but it would just be a redistribution of wealth between the current 4 guilds already killing targets weekly.
