Nexii, you strike me as a pretty smart person. Are you seriously saying that, as smart as you are, you are unable to imagine any possible raid scene without "accidents" and concessions?

Anyone can improve the wiki! If you are new to the Blue or Green servers, you can improve the wiki to earn a "welcome package" of platinum and/or gear! Send me a forum message for details.

It would be less if the raid targets were rooted. You'd have guilds more spread out over Velious / TOV. Clearing trash would take time as well, even if you COTH close it will be slower than the current solo pull meta. Yea there would be leapfrog races but generally you wouldn't want to risk the 50/50 chance of a mob over a 100% chance to get something for sure

Not the end of the world if its a little more effort. Server has tons of warmbodies -- probably 10x more than any live server would have had in era

Or rotations. Or one of fifteen hundred other ideas.

Look P99 having more people than live had absolutely is the core of the problem, but still I really think you're smarter than just "keep Aftermath dominating everything, or keep Aftermath dominating everything but root the dragons". But maybe because of those smarts you're not being honest?

I just can't believe you really can only see a single viable option to the current system.

You said it yourself Loramin, whatever proposal you might make remains a moot discussion unless you can get the admins onboard.

Yup, and since evidently "the admins" don't interact with the P99 playerbase anymore (Nilbog's recent post about that shield you can wear on your back being the exception that proves the rule), the only path to doing that is to convince the staff that does "have it's ear to the ground" ... and then hope they can convince Rogean ...

... except that, thanks to Brarknar, we now have strong evidence that even that's impossible.

In other words, it's moot discussion. Period. End of sentence.

But that won't stop it from happening [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Fuck, Braknar, Would it really ruin RnF if we had 30 seconds to edit posts?

Rotations are boring, and so is the pull everything to zone line meta. Combining the two would make EQ hardly feel like a game to me
