The Current Raid Environment

[arsenalpow]

So this problem is two fold. First you have class C (with the staff holding this mindset as well) saying to "compete" if you want something. That's always been the mantra, work harder nerds. Secondly, there's no line of demarcation between competing and holy shit you guys are sociopaths.

It's an arms race and the line will continually get pushed. Right now we're at the absurd place of coth mages ducking their spells to gain a fraction of a headstart and FTEers being pointed directly at their intended target ahead of time and auto running to hit the ground running after being summoned.

The sock was on the spawn point, then we moved it to the login screen, then we moved it to the zoneline, and now people want to move it one zone over. The socking will never change, it hasn't in almost 5 years.

If you want to remove socking remove the FFA tier. It is literally the only thing that is currently causing socking. Don't ask C and R to agree, don't tell us there's a way to work it out, don't increase variance, don't reduce variance. Socking is a cancer that has spread alllll over the FFA cycle, cut that entire bitch out.
