The Most Unclassic Raid Scene Fix Ever

[Lazortag]

Why not just have simultaneous repops or something actually close to classic?

Repops are fun.

I agree; I posted a long thread about that and got no interest from the admins.

However, the main difference from this thread is that in principle at least this changes the endgame scene from guilds racing to guilds working together (err zerging) the raid bosses with the 100+ people that would be required to take down what would basically be a Velious mob with Kunark gear.

As stated I don't think this will or should happen, its just a cute idea.

Or you could just give kill credit to everyone who engaged in the raid, move items off loot tables, and give points for killing the NPC instead of loot. Spend the points on the items you want from raid targets. Each raid target will give cumulative points.

To further this idea, make points assigned at random to different players who are hated by the NPC

Plenty of MMOs are doing this to promote community and I don't see why it wouldn't work in an open world non-instanced MMO.

Oh wait, this is classic EQ, it's supposed to have these inherit drama issues and be unresolvable.

this is how LDON worked...well more or less...
Thought after couple months of grinding points in the same 4 dungeons over and over started to get on nerves...

The only other thing that will heavily reduce raid drama is a LOT more raids targets (like PoP era a lot). Which is of course non classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This post really irritates me, and confirms something I've wondered for a long time: that the admins enjoy watching the current raid drama as players go nuts for a few pixels. Hello: you guys already added variance WHICH IS NOT CLASSIC. Yet you won't do server reboots WHICH ARE CLASSIC, and under which we would still have all the competition but without the 80+ hours per day at the computer.

Instead its just "oooo drama", then complain about the behavior of the raid guilds when they get down and dirty and try to win the silly no-life raid scene you guys have created.
