FTE is Fing stupid

The solution isn't for everyone to rotate mobs, or for everyone to play nicer, or for TMO to give us handouts, it's for the system to be changed so that I don't have to spend up to 96 hours straight pressing "track" just for a chance at pixels. I know very few people who would waste that much time for a guarantee at pixels, how many do you think will do it for a ~33% chance at it?

2 and a half months ago Nilbog said he had a proposal to fix all this. What happened to that?: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...6&postcount=72

this is pretty spot on, more available targets over-all would go a long way to appease the masses

I hate this argument. most TMO members have full time jobs or significant others/families to care about, just like everyone else. we do have some members that have slightly less responsibilities than the rest, but it's a large minority compared to the guild as a whole.

where we are different from most casual players/non-raiders is that we're able to balance our time in real life and in everquest to create a healthy compromise between the two. it's not a particularly easy thing to do, and some people just can't figure it out even with time. but to say that just because you or others have real life responsibilities that prevent people from experiencing end game content is just a weak and flimsy excuse. everyone does. it's about achieving balance between the things in your life.

as others have said, we also have players from all over the world. our majority are north american or european time based players, but we have players with different schedules and playtimes to ensure our guilds presence at all times of the day.

This post wasn't insinuating that TMO members "have no lives", it was more of a "how is it done". I'm well aware of balancing EQ and RL, I just wanted insight on how 1 guild controls an entire raid scene. Thanks for the info

BDA has their sanctimonious recruitment thread for that.

Is Bregan D’Aerth For You?
Do you have a job?
Do you have a family?
Do you have a social life?
Did you answer yes to any or all of these questions? Congratulations, Bregan D’Aerth could be the guild for you!

Grats on your lives, guys

So, here's a proposal I'd like feedback on from TMO and other guilds. Similar to Berty's suggestion, but laid out plain and simple.

For regular Kunark and Planar raid mobs, the following should be considered:

Each guild willing to participate in the rotation takes 1 turn (20 minute head start/engage rule), alternated with an open race. This applies to: Venril Sathir, Trakanon, Cazic Thule, Inny, Maestro, Gore, Sev, Tal. So, a simulated rotation would be:

1. TMO
2. Open Race
3. BDA
4. Open Race
5. Divinity
etc.

Once the 20 minutes are up, it becomes a race/FTE situation. It's no secret TMO will likely continue to win most races, so you get all the shiny pixels you can handle. This schedule allows for better server involvement, more competition for TMO/BDA (which we all claim to want), and still enforces all guilds to keep track of spawn timers and trackers in zone.

Draco remains a fully contested spawn, VP remains fully contested with existing rules.

What's wrong with it? Go.

what never ends? please tell us more about how TMO owns every mob on the server and how us spoiled little casuals just want free shit, please TMO unless you have something constructive to add to the conversation lets not muck it up. if you guys have no interest in a rotation then back out of this thread and let us continue the conversation with people that do
