I didn't get to play during the no CSR period in VP, but I can't imagine how crazy TOV would be with no rules.

It was pretty interesting. But the thing is, VP dragons only have 32K HP. So TMO could blow them as long as their counter-trainers could get them a minute or so in the clear. I don't see how anyone could ever kill Vulak if trains were legal. FFA TOV would almost certainly result in a rotation eventually.

Fundamentally, EQ is a PVE game. Guilds competing directly never really works. Both Sirken and Rogean tried to come up with good raid rules for direct competition and they both failed. The only form that works is time-based: during an earthquake, whichever guild mobilizes and kills fastest does the best.

Agree, in Velious you would have to hold off trains for ~10 minutes. VP dragons in constrast can be killed in 30 seconds. A guild's power would be measured by its willingness to grief other guilds...probably not condusive to a healthy raid scene...
