Sounds fantastic. Some feedback:

1. I *gasp* agree with TMO: weekly resets plus normal pops are probably too many items. Maybe fewer resets, or resets affecting normal timers, or boss mobs dropping 2/3 as much loot, something like this.

2. Maybe the whole zone should repop. Otherwise for example you see the respawn message, clear the guards, and kill the boss mob easily when it spawns.

3. Another random idea: I would love to see 'char binding'. In other words for the duration of the simulated repop you can only have one character of L45+ logged on. This prevents people with 3+ L60 chars from camping them out fully buffed at each spawnpoint and switching rapidly between accounts.

Overall though I think its a great start and my favorite part is

I think as long as you guys agree that the current raid scene is poor and are willing to try a few things and experiment you can come up with something that makes everyone reasonably happy.

An interesting idea that might be too tough to manage, and would probably conflict with IP exemptions.

Well if they have DLLs in place they can get some hashcode for your computer directly. Anyway I was just thinking that if I was Zeelot with 100 people each with 2-3 L60 chars, I'd have them camp out 50% trakanon 25% VS and maybe 25% Sev or so. Log on, kill boss, and the mobilize everyone for VP.

One other thing: please, please, please enforce training rules in VP. The whole point of the simultaneous repop is to spread guilds out. With current training rules BDA refuses to go there, so TMO can just save VP for last. If TMO can't train in VP, BDA will go there first (I'm guessing) and TMO will get at most VS and Trak before heading to VP for Phara Dar. That leaves everything else up for a solid hour or so.

TMO, you have the right to state your displeasure with the removal of the artificial system that has been such a boon for your guild.

You do NOT have the right to call a long-needed and soul-wrangled compromise "a stupid fucking idea" without looking like a total douchebag.

The developers deserve a ton of credit for taking swifter and more effective action than anyone has had a right to expect.

Korrath is not a spokesperson for TMO, nor are the other members who post here. A lot of you need to learn the difference between leadership/members opinions. Most of what you see on the p1999 forums has nothing to do with the leadership.

Every member of your guild is a representative of your guild. A lot of you need to learn the difference between responsibility and making excuses for passing the buck.

everyone in our guild is allowed to have opinions and state them. you chose to call him TMO labeling a guild based on one opinion while there were multiple previous posts from tmo members supporting this.

shut up

Nevermind, it was out of context.

Great addition to the discussion, I really see your points about these proposed changes.
