I like Jilena's post a lot. Not for the anti-DA content (though it's funny and true), but for the perspective it gives both sides. The actual escalation of 24/7 tracking to camping is understandable. DA was getting no mobs, so they did what they had to do (camp) to get mobs. Then IB got less than a majority for a week because it's impossible to beat a guild that is actually camping a boss, so we did what we had to do (camp) to retake them. Now the raid scene is fucking absurd because both guilds are camping raid mobs constantly, mostly afk, and unable to do anything else in game.
What I'd like to see is both guilds stop camping (for the love of god PLEASE stop camping) and afk tracking become difficult in the planes. You can still track naggy and vox, but on live you couldn't easily afk track fear or hate. Hate had safe spots, but the zone in was absolutely not safe. So while IB would still have advantage at vox/naggy due to proven quick mobilization, guilds that are actively clearing the planes have an advantage on those raid bosses by being in the zone already when they're spawning. Therefore the race is preserved but not dominated by any one factor.
Basically, if one factor determines who gets a raid boss, something is wrong. It shouldn't be who has the most dedicated druids, it shouldn't be who is camping the longest, it shouldn't be who happens to already exist in the zone; it should be a combination of factors.
And since this is a r&f post, fuck you
