When Divinity enters the rotation you can no longer co-raid!

well that's an important item to consider and has been brought up in other threads -- it has marginal significance to this one and as such ought to be considered on a secondary or tertiary level -- but yeah, divinity, gothic server, happy little hug factory, etc. a variety of guilds reaching level/gear/numbers saturation points will really exacerbate the whole thing

Anyways trannies aren't breaking the rules, however as previously mentioned, doing it in such a manner means fewer kills/drops for everyone, including yourselves. It's annoying of course, and based on your replies I'm certain that you understand the specifics of why.

To me though, again, is the environmental framework that's been created that gives rise to stuff like this that is much more the culprit. In addition, the inability to personally affect the situation within the in-game framework causes people frustrated by it (like myself) to make posts like this in the first place.
Yeah, but I assure you it was not done to decrease the overall kill count. The factors that were taken into consideration (and discussed with IB) are follows:

1) CT was spawning at 2 am following an IB PoF day. This means we would have to eat a portion of IB's day in PoF (oMG BaN!) to clear the trash or enter the zone at midnight and clear for 4 hours. Either way would have likely drawn drama for one reason or another.

2) Dracho was due to spawn today as well, this factors in as a "kill 2 birds with 1 stone" scenario.

3) CT would have continued to spawn later and later, and as much as I know you guys love bat-phoning, do you really want to wake up and clear fear to kill him at 5 am? Seriously?

So we flipped him, and you guys knew the plan days before it actually happened. Believe it or not, IB and Trans do talk and have some level of coordination. Naggy will now spawn early in the day and CT will now spawn around 10:00 until someone messes him up (doubtful, it's hard to fail at CT)

So, I understand the concerns you are bringing up, but that isn't how it is. We have regularly killed bosses within minutes of spawning, and so have you, with few exceptions.

Why not? Co-raids are actually quite fun and interesting ~ This is a game I play for "fun and interesting" so Divinity and Europa have my full support.

Oooh Burn!!!
So why does this thread exist exactly?
Because of one late kill and a cry of conspiracy?

How many devs and GM's on this server should be dedicated solely to the purpose of making sure that 20 (or so) people get to raid as often as humanly possible and get every single high end item for each of their level 50 alts before more content is released? Because I am seeing no end in sight to this crying for more.

As it has been said countless times before, enjoy the lack of competition while it lasts.

They turned me loose from the nervous hospital. 'Said I was well. I got hired on by a Mr. Bill Cox fixing lawnmowers and whatnot. That grass out there in the yard has grown up quite a bit. I reckon I might cut it for you.
