You're right, it's not a divinity thing; it's a Skope thing. And you're actually agreeing with me and you see the errors in the current system, and btw, so have the other people who've been trying to flamebait me.

What you despise is the fact that I've offered no perfect solution. wake up, there is none. That's always done at the table.

The /shout idea is great if you want an FTE system (which isn't the only system). But i'm going to favor something that's classic because this is P99, and the "it's not classic" line has been uttered more times than i can remember. Is hybrid exp penalty fair? Not in the slightest. It's actually incredibly stupid when you consider the way EQ works and that the hybrid classes (pally/SK mostly) have a far harder time soloing than some pure wis/int classes (minus cleric). Does it mean more GM intervention if we scaled hybrid penalty back? No. But guess what, Aadill? It's classic. Dumping exp penalty and giving wizards early AAs would make more sense than introducing variance -- unless the GMs don't want a headache. They're doing this shit for free, so why should they? Let's make it classic and alleviate their headache.

But if you're expecting 100 people at a raid, classic or not, why the 4 days of sitting on your hand with your thumb up your ass? It's unnecessary. The /shout idea alleviates the headaches and allows for lower variance (significantly lower). It stays FTE and more active, attentive guilds who make less mistakes will always win out on more loot. Clusterfucks? The mob shouted, if you help in killing it then thanks for the extra DPS. If you loot it or train then enjoy your ban -- just like it is now.

The "did i win?" comment was directed toward Humwawa. One flamebait deserves another.
