Forced Rotation Isn't Classic

This.

Also, Wenai..

• You didn't say anything about rotations beyond nagafen/vox.
• Rotation on trash is ridiculous.
• The original "agreement" that you keep pointing to was never actually agreed upon because there was no agreement on the second guild staying out of the zone.
• We weren't talked to about the details of this rotation before they were implemented, and it is 100% certain that Trans had knowledge and/or input of this (as evidenced by them leaving fear [yeah right, I'm *real* sure they would have left if they weren't positive of the situation coming down in their favor] and sending us tells about the details of the original 3-day rotation as if it was set in stone).

Allizia sent me a PM questioning how it would work. I told Allizia how it was going to go down. I logged on my GM, asked Otto for some details of dates. I then made the thread and posted it. So yes. I gave Trans the info early out of respect for IB to get them out of your zone. Sorry.

I already apologized for not formally mentioning that Fear would be on rotation.

@guineapig: I agree 100%. We will be looking into alternative methods and open to suggestions. Between the awful whining posts, there have been some good suggestions. We will be weighing these suggestions seriously.

Anything less then FFA is unacceptable, in my opinion.

The only solution is randomized timers. Any other solution is going to make this game not worth playing. If I wanted to know exactly when I was going to raid I'd play WoW and enjoy some sweet ass instancing and lock outs.

This is essentially the same system but older methods are applied to make it work.

This is exactly the issue. We didn't own the zone. Saying so is totally contradicting the PNP blurb that Nilbog quoted, so which is it? We didn't want Transcendence out of the zone.

You have a great knack for not putting forth all the details. Transcendence was waiting for repops in Fear at the north wall. Unfortunately for them, this was one of the last areas we cleared. So, we used our prior knowledge (since we were able to mobilize and get into Fear first, gaining information of the spawn timers and an advantage) to camp near where the spawns would be happening. It wasn't until after we killed the first 3 trash mobs that Transcendence left.

So basically what happened is that Transcendence thought it was unfair that they didn't have an equal shot at the trash repops, even though we were using an advantage we rightfully gained by getting 20+ members on at noon on a Tuesday without any prior notice. This is all exactly how EverQuest competition works, folks. I said in vent about 20 times, "guys don't worry about Transcendence, if they pull some trash, it's rightfully theirs." They just don't want to compete. They want to carebear stare mobs to death without any sort of urgency or risk of spending time and losing a mob whenever their day on the rotation comes up. And this is how WoW works, folks.
