because most of those raid mobs will then spawn very close together, again giving more then one guild a Raid target to kill.

When Everquest was designed they didnt know better.

Everquest didn't work then and it won't work now, get over it.

p.s. your bullshit solution doesn't help anyone but people from America, just like the removal of global ooc/auction.

The way the server is right now for raiding is no one guilds fault and any sort of rotation, spawn variance or admin enforced rules around raiding only make it worse.

That is actually dead on.

It is very true that no one guild would be able to simultaneously kill all six mobs on server up, at least not right now. Adds more to the mix.

It is also very very true that every time Soandso /petitions raid rules and admin buys into it, it just fuels the fire. Like ... Well like a spoiled kid that gets everything if they cry to their parents, when really the best solution is, unless its something major/life threatening, they should ignore, and/or discipline those children.

FFA really isn't that bad. EQ was a society built by the players. That means chaos or order, it was ultimately the players that shaped the nature of the server. Eventually it will work itself out, but nothing will change if an outside source is playing judge and jury. It should be handled amongst the players.

But yeah It cant be EVERY time the servers came up and down that just wouldn't be fair. There are far too many small patches here and there for that to make any sort of sense, and let's face it - We NEED those small patches.
