Raid Rules Alternative

[matahari]

No that is not a fourth alternative.

That is FFA with a first to engage rule. That is the same ruleset verant had. Whoever aggros the mob gets it. If your guild didnt' get first aggro. Than you wait until the other guild wipes or kills the mob.

Not saying it's not a good choice. It is just 1 of the 3 rulesets.

The end result of the FFA rules is the same. DA and IB camp the raid mobs with bodies or trackers. Both guilds still fight when the mob spawns and they both have people in the zone all racing to engage first. That just opens up problems like ks'ing training leapfrogging. Both guilds think they got aggro first with 70+ people running into the dragon lair.

It may stop these guilds from sitting their characters in zones for days on end. But it is kinda nice. Frees up a lot of the xp camps in the 30-49 range ; )

The other choice is spawning all raid mobs at the exact same time with a variance of what time/day it happens. With either the 15 in zone ruleset or FFA ruleset "with play nice policies"

But how many times should the devs have to change this ? Plus the work they put in for variance already.

In fairness... this is what you said:

2. FFA first to engage with ks'ing leapfrogging still camping.

I have addressed the issues of training in my proposal. I have talked about how it would change the nature, type, and duration of camping. I have also admitted that some leapfrogging is a likely consequence.

It seems like you (intentionally or not) glossed over the ways in which my proposal addresses those things and simply declared that all the problems would still exist without debating the points.... or you were just referring to some other unmitigated FFA. In which case, there is a 4th alternative (and many others that other people might submit)
