First to Engage: Exploiting the mechanic?

[sanforce]

It seems to work well enough. And if someone can't compete, they can always farm enough plat to buy their prized pixels from successful raid guilds.

I think you missed my point. The rules being discussed in this thread are silly because the mobs are so easy that the only challenge is getting there first. The real solution to this thread is to make the encounters more challenging so that this FTE nonsense becomes less important.

I get the feeling you intended this to be some sort of rhetorical shiv, and yet I can only say I'm happy that I've managed to pick up some shiny pixels without spending hundreds of hours watching the track screen or the back of Venril Sathir's cave. If that's your idea of fun more power to you, but it's not mine.

i prefer to be by myself, wait for guild to engage, jav faster, and let them kill it for me and promptly petition for my loot

It was a yes or no question; dunno what all the crying is about.

I'm still wondering if you had anything relevant to contribute to this thread though.

You only want new rules when you are losing.
You were fine with the rules last week and only ran to zeelot to beg a rotation in VP this week.

Threads were made. Websites were created. Parades with acrobats shooting fireworks while doing cartwheels.

Im for scuba as well; if the people who call the shots currently had a more rational approach towards things, people would have more time for scuba.

Losing? We clean swept you outside VP last week and took a VP dragon.

You almost clean swept us outside VP this week and took the others.

I dont want full rotations; I would just rather have moderated competition rather than balls to the wall 20 hour poopsocks and train fests - but if you guys would rather do that than scuba, I will be there just the same.

The point of this thread is to discuss issues with the state of the server; not discuss whatever irrelevant dribble Alarti feels like. I suggest that if you have nothing to add here, you make an RnF post about something and carry on there champ.

The point of this thread is to discuss poopsocking like Derubael indentified. Your ideas are just trying to increase poopsocking. Also, identifying your motives brings alot to the discussion.
Sorry if you mad brah
