The solution is simple, it's just that no one wants to do it. If you're not happy with the way things are on the server, you have to put up a fight. That's exactly what the top tier guild(s) want... competition. So bring the fight right to their front door:

1) All non-uber raid guilds get together and split out targets amongst themselves & position trackers.

2) Camp buffed mains at agreed upon targets.

3) Track and mobilize.

4) Beat them at their own game until they fall apart and the game is no longer fun for them.

They want competition, give it to them. [You must be logged in to view images.

Which is fine, there is nothing wrong with that... but then why should we expect the devs to cater to those who can't put in the time/energy to get the raid targets? Unfortunately, Classic Everquest was always about the time/energy spent being proportional to the progress of your toons/guild. We more casual players knew that 11 years ago, and it shouldn't be a surprise to us now.

Not to this extent and not like this, not ever. You know this is fact, as does everyone else involved here, and still spew these stupid statements.

Sitting in place doing absolutely nothing for 4 days was NEVER EVER beneficial to any character or guild on any live EQ server. It's pure bullshit.

I didn't make a specific statement about "sitting in place doing absolutely nothing". I made the statement "time/energy invested was proportional to the progress of your toon/guild", which is entirely correct for classic Everquest until they started dumbing it down.

Show me someone who logs in one hour a day vs. someone who actively plays 12 hours a day. Convince me the first guy has more progress on his character than the latter guy. Show me a guild who plays casually and uses guildchat like a chat program/price check system, and then show me a guild who devotes time to recruiting good players with lots of opportunity to play, has a twitter/text network up and running, has a mobilization plan, willing to log their mains somewhere to play alts for a few days, etc, etc, etc. Convince me the first guild gets more raid targets than the latter guild.

Just like it was in the classic trilogy. We had the casual vs. powergamer discussions 11 years ago just like we do here. More Time/energy => Better Results

We had the uberguild on Xegony that did this, and some of them are here now in the uberguild here. And the rest of the server got their scraps too until an alliance of three other guilds started giving them a run for their money. Anyone who spent time in Classic/Kunark/Velious on Xegony remembers this and knows which guilds I'm specifically talking about. :P
