A smorgasbord!!

Maxipad, this is a bandwagon I think EVERYONE can jump on to get more bosses distributed amongst more guilds without feeling like we got handed something. If you wanna campaign for this, even YOU would have MY support, and I bet most of the playerbase would get behind it.

Oh, I'm sure I can think of a particular guild that will find some way to rally against it. Just a hunch.

Would it really make a difference or just give IB more loot? Servers usually came back up from patches mid day... and IB seems to be the only one that can get people on mid day to kill targets.

So how would things change?

Explain how IB can kill naggy, vox, and CT at the same time.

It's IB.. duh. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Point taken though.. I forgot that every mob would be up. However, if a guild can't get a raid force for something mid day, what's stopping IB just going from target to target and just taking them all out.

Hey, nothing is stopping us from that, and that's exactly what we would try to do..

However, at least the other guilds would have a better chance at selecting a target.. You'd have at least an hour or two while we gathered and set up for one mob after the other.. If a guild can't work with that kind of a time window, I dunno what to say. I'm perfectly happy with the current system, and am only trying to help OTHER guilds with this idea. Yes IB would get another mob or two per patch day (almost guaranteed), but so too would other guilds have a shot to kill (their choice of) bosses without IB breathing down their necks.

Lets say that IB gathers 30 people 10 minutes after a patch: if IB went after vox, not only would all 4 other bosses be free while we all get to perma and pull giants and set up (30-50 minutes?), but the planes would have a god and a deity free, so if we choose a dragon, it's likely that 2 OTHER guilds will get at LEAST 2 targets, with a third possibility for naggy while we're busy.
