Ya... when? Where? I think there was one listed example of a rotation pre-luclin and it wasnt on the major targets.

Quellious had a GM-enforced NToV rotation way before Luclin. And we definitely weren't the only ones, although I can't remember specifics from other servers.

But again, this was all a result of allowing competition in the beginning. We trained each other into the ground to the point where the only workable solution was a rotation. That's the way it has to be when there are more raiders than raid mobs, unless you want to re-imagine EQ -- but I thought the scope of this server was to reproduce classic, not amend classic to suit the needs of today.

If devs restored classic mechanics, there would be a rotation within a month.

If you guys want raid kills why don't you spend the effort you're putting into crying on the forums about a rotation and challenge TMO?.

FTE... who gets what raid mob... none of it matters since the endgame has been fucking ruined by greed. EverQuest is a game. It's supposed to be fun to play, not a job.

Remember what was fun? Attempting VS for the first time and wiping, then refining your strategy until you get your first kill. That shit doesn't happen here since the mobs are dead within 45 seconds anyways. Everyone is treating raid targets like pixel pinatas.

Poopsocking didn't happen on live. Why? Because people played the game to have fun. Logging your main out for a week in Trak's lair wasn't fun then and it still isn't now. What was fun was when Trak popped and guilds started mobilizing to get there first, as most people were actually playing the game and doing shit, not just sitting there camped out with full raid buffs ready to go.

So everyone's mad and they're blaming each other, the game, or worse, blaming the fucking developers for not putting FTE shouts or whatever bullshit in the game. Fuck you. It's not the devs' job to design systems around your shitty playstyles. Don't want to poopsock/FTE? Then fucking go do something else, remove variance, and when the mob spawns go fucking kill it. Then you know exactly who engaged it first, and it's not a KS race.

The devs have designed systems that are not classic (i.e., variance) which have drastically changed how this server's end game plays out. So let's remove variance already (or shorten it by 50-75%) and add in bi weekly simulated server resets and get racing again.

Not you Halito. The boring person above you.

Actually I think he was saying you havent deserved many of the kills you have rcv'd due to FTE rules... not that you wouldnt deserve them in the future. I think in essence he is saying whine less and perform better

20 min respawn time on raid bosses

Still waiting for someone to explain why classic endgame on a classic server would be a problem.

I mean, you're welcome to your own interpretation. I usually try to condense large amounts of bullshit into concentrate. You lose some of it in the process, but in the end you're left with a nugget of truth.

You should take a post for what it is... not what you want it to be.
