Stop the Socking

The reasons beyond what Sirken said are that C/R FFA repop takes a % away from C's pie

This isn't rocket surgery folks

They don't want to give up a %, and nor should they
R doesn't want to give up a %, and nor should they

Keep the %'s identical to how it is now and figure out a system, fuck

Exactly. The part where Sirken says...

"The idea was never to "take away" from Class C so much as it was to try and allow more non Class C players to experience raid content, as well as a stepping stone to join Class C when ready."

To me this is what changing to foot races helps as well. Everyone can see how the raiding in Class C occurs by experiencing it...but on a smaller scale with a few more restrictions to curb the majority of socking. Trust me if you get really good at foot racing in FFA. You can compete for anything in Class C currently and it's pretty dang fun when you get experienced at it.

False. this isn't competing. its the same as coth ducking or your rez the corpses strat (which we all know you will do to keep your pixels.)

C/R + FFA repops actually increases the number of mobs that Class C guilds can compete for, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

Personally, what I would like to see is 16 repops per month, every mob dropping half its loot table, and no class system. Pure competition . . . but competition that is fun! Everyone gets a shot at attacking something every other day! Some guilds get more than others. The only rule changes I can potentially see would be limiting guilds from shuffling between camped alts.

Increasing the number to compete for doesn't mean they will get them all. Especially not if they have to go to VP while 10 guilds get the pick of the litter for 30m-1h.

Sirken said "we aren't changing shit" but TMO and IB don't want anything changed either. If for the first time in the goddamn history of the server EVERY guild agreed to something, anything, then I think the staff would take a good long look at it and it could probably get changed.

Right now there's no impetus to change anything because TMO isn't backing down. Maybe I'll go talk to Getsome/Hoku and get them on board, then IB can be the hero and TMO will be the only guild stopping progress.

Looks like you are the one being difficult with valid options on the table.
