It's less mobs overall for the rotation you guys setup to "Help smaller guilds". It means those guilds that aren't good at mobilizing for FFA repops have to wait even longer to see content. The FFA repops only benefit guilds that already can kill FFA targets on respawns.
you realize they havnt been getting any FFAs already right. if everything is FFA they could pick a target and focus and might actually have a shot. And it would be more overall for them too even if they are still unable to get a FFA, because 2 weeks for R instead of 3. C and R both come and go quicker.

So you want to move to a system that benefits your guild more correct ? Let's be clear on this.

Isn't that just human nature? Don't the big banks want less regulation of their financial transactions?

I believe I said it felt it benefited EVERYONE. Taken already hits our bag limit almost every single repop.

But it doesn't benefit EVERYONE. Doesn't matter what you feel or choose to sell to the smaller guilds. The whole point of the raid scene changes were to open up the content to everyone. You guys are trying to make a change that restricts the number of mobs available to smaller guilds. Facts are facts.

Yes, a sim repop would 'slow' the rotation down however....

R/C without a third cycle speeds up the rotation

Sim-repop being fully FFA means that smaller guilds who are waiting 8th for Trak or 10th for Inny could say F it we are going for Trak next repop whenever it happens

So the actual speed of the rotation is somewhat a wash mainly due to the fact that repops barely happen 2 times a month anyway ( so thats only a handful of times the 'rotation freezes' each month) however

the benefit to having it freeze would be more enticing options of mobs to kill, and a more fun overall experience for all the rotation guilds since they would not be limited to only their R target ( could be a Maestro) or for some guilds who are not up for an R target AND the FFA spawns are highly contested spawns

There really is no downside of this for Class R no matter how its spun.

The rotation freezes with the repops and thusly slows down but the amount it speeds up and the greater variety of gameplay would outweight that by large margins.

FFA bag limits seem to be the only time the casual raiding guilds have fun.. I... dont know if I've ever met anyone who has fun waiting for a 16hr window merb to pop at 4:56 am on a Monday morning heh but I suppose that there may be one or two people per guild that are into that. :P

I totally agree with cat on this issue, IMO as a working adult, even random FFA earthquakes can be hard because they may happen in the middle of the work day! the result is that some of us with kids and jobs cant schedule our lives around raids.. for some reason it seems like this server is against any semblance of trying to plan your life around this hobby.. so a bonus to ffa earthquakes is, you cant plan for it.. i guess...

the main thing is, damn they are the only time EVERYONE agree's that raiding is hella fun.. earthquake, everyone rallies, runs tries to get a good spot, wins, fails.. bag limit reached pick a merb, go to it.. shit is just crazy fun...

I just cant with all honestly believe that any other system except for ffa earthquake is the funnest. But then again, I don't like face tracking shit for 8+ hours so hey that's just me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

aside from completely changing the rules to this system, i dont see any downside, could someone explane to me a downside? I dono! but I also dont do VP so i have NO IDEA how that raiding works, and maybe that suggestion totaly shits all over VP raiding? I dont know. Please enlighten me about what is your favorite part of the current system? and why changing raiding on p99 to be onlly simulated repop would be bad? I guess we assume that yall would just sit and sock for 7 days straight?

who am i kidding, would prob be as equal of a nightmare as any other system heh.. To that end, do you smart cats already know how you would totaly reck that system and get all the loots and force everyone out? idk.. bag limits tho would work against that.. I dono.. the system just seems like it would be better overall... But again, lots of pieces missing from my puzzle! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
