Raid rules suggestion

[mitic]

classic everquest = fighting over dragons = drama = fun = keep as is

if u start to fasten up spawn timers u could also start to implement instanced zones as well, and thats exactly one of those things why i stoped playing on life

And the rest of us probably stopped because of the drama you think is "fun".

Why would you quit over it? Have people become this sensitive over the past 10 years? I remember having 15 guilds fighting over mob spawns in classic, most people didn't quit over it. Maybe it was different because I was on RZ, where you could actually take out your aggression on those annoying you but even when I played on zebux it didn't seem like it was that big of a problem.

Because it got old, dude. Same damn guilds doing the same damn shit, all because some people thought the drama was fun? A bunch of drama queens halfway across the country doing their best to deprive other guilds of content that they all paid the same monthly fee to enjoy?

I don't know if it had anything to do with sensitivity. I and a lot of other people had better ways to spend our time, I imagine. I spend all day at work dealing with people and resolving conflict and troubleshooting issues... it started to get to be the same thing at home during my recreation time.

I guess we just value different things about old EQ. What I liked about it was the harshness, the fact that you could get screwed out of things easily. If you annoy the wrong people, you are blacklisted and might never see a raid again. If you can't 1 up your competition, you get left behind.

Something that worked well when I was playing was guilds forming raiding coalitions. X and Y guild hate how Z guild is working, X and Y guild decide they are going to start working together by using each others trackers and informing each other when mobs are up. You have to split the loot but oh well, at least Z guild aint getting it.
