My proposal for Raiding guilds and GMs of P1999

I disagree with the notion of guild rotation of any kind at any point.

Any pickup raid or raiding alliance should have just as much right to competition as any set guild, whether they use it or not, they should have the freedom to create themselves and begin attempting raid mobs as they can.

No rotation, no taking turns, no rights to a mob before it spawns. Period.

I think you are missing the point we are making.

We play to enjoy the classic EQ content and experience. None of us are still college kids, living single with only ourselves to take care of. We have jobs, families and other responsibilities.

With the current state of affairs it is near impossible to raid and experience classic EQ content unless you spend all your life camping/waiting for this 11 year old content to spawn.

Thus why i suggest creating a second server that has a GM enforced raid rotation to accommodate those players that are like myself. It is not to say that a mob spawns that it is "guaranteed" to go to a guild but a guild will be "guaranteed" a chance to do the content before another guild(s) are allowed.

And posts like these are why FFA would never work either.

The raid rules were brought about with every guild in mind, in fact every guild (except Fish Bait, which is Dark Ascension now) agreed on the raid rules. This means leaders from all the guilds believed the rules would give them a fair chance at killing a raid boss. So for a long time prior to these rules being instituted and a short time after their was no camping going on and I never really heard much complaining... until Dark Ascension came along.

I wont say this guild lacks skill, Im sure they have people that are skilled. What they do lack is organization to an extent I rarely have seen in any high end mmo. In order to compensate for this they complain nonstop about everything that does not make the game easier for them.

The ONLY reason that mobs are being camped right now is because of THEM and their general lack of organization within their ranks. They lack the ability to mobilize to a target and because of this they have utilized a "loop-hole" within the raid rules to an extent that has forced IB to do the same thing. Their is a problem though. IB does it better than they do even though we may not want to.

Now, even with them camping stuff their general lack of cohesive leadership and organization has NOT granted them any kind of advantage on the raiding scene. At best they have split the big 4 with IB 2/2 and that has only happened twice. So now the realization has hit them yet again that they are the far inferior guild. Because of this, new complaints must commence.

It's pathetic and I almost feel sorry for people that hold that guild tag.

FFA would be ok for like a week or two and then the complaints would begin, becasue IB will still get the most. IB is going to be the best no matter what raid system you put in, hopefully others will realize this soon.

If all you want to do is experience raid content then Im sure something can be worked out intelligently. I suggest contacting one of our officers and offering us our choice of your loot from mobs you kill that are sanctioned by us. We've experienced the raids and are simply farming for our members. I think it's a good idea!
